description Nowadays, driving simulation devices represent a continuously evolving and developing area in the world of virtual reality. One of the fundamental elements in the design of driving software is the track model. This work aims to study the use of advanced technologies for the three-dimensional modeling of a racing track in a driving simulator. Specifically, it employs the LiDAR methodology to acquire the three-dimensional coordinates of a 1 km long circuit located on the Fisciano campus of the University of Salerno. The purpose of this work is to explain and present a novel track acquisition and modeling methodology within the realm of simulated driving reality. Following the study, the Virtual Reality Laboratory’s driving simulator at the Department of Industrial Engineering conducted tests to validate the proposed circuit model. The test rides analyzed the realism of the driving experience, thereby validating the proposed track model. This phase was complemented by a series of proposals for possible future developments in the field of three-dimensional modeling applied to driving simulation and beyond. In the end, the 3D model obtained demonstrated the high definition of the acquired result and the speed with which multiple data were obtained simultaneously, thanks to the laser scanner used.
