The development of automotive technologies requires quite a significant amount of time and money. To accelerate this procedure,

the technology of now is strongly based on computer simulations, where the whole vehicle or its parts can be analyzed in a virtual

environment. The behavior of cars, especially equipped with new sensors or assistants, requires long testing, where the automotive

simulators can play a cardinal role. The precise vehicular tests request accurate environmental models. These new kinds of models

are still standardized; one of the pioneer de facto standards is OpenDRIVE. This standard was initially defined to be able to express

all elements with all potential parameters required in high precision simulations. The actual research focused on creating a compliant

virtual model based on mobile mapping measurements. A Leica Pegasus Two mobile mapping system was applied to capture field

data about the selected pilot area, which is the campus of Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME). The obtained

Lidar point cloud was georeferenced; the merged point cloud is tailored to the driven trajectory, and then it has been evaluated

manually. The acquired land use map is converted – similarly manually – into basic road geometry elements: straight lane and bended

lane segments. These objects are finally compiled into an XML format, which is compliant with the OpenDRIVE standard. The achieved

virtual model has been tested in Driving Scenario Designer of Mathworks Matlab; however, it is promptly ready for use in other widely

applied automotive simulators.
