System for checking the position where equipments are installed
Japan Railway Construction, Transport and Technology Agency |
|
| Visibility of the traffic signal signs needs to be verified by the crew
from their view point at each fixed position. If this verification can
be done at the designing stage, the possibility of moving after installation
can be decreased and cost can be saved. This system enables crews to check
and examine the visibility of the signal signs from their view point using
VR, when building a new railway or renovating the existing one. |
 |

|
 |
|
When the script "Overview" is executed, the scene around the
station and the view from the driver can be checked. Traffic
signals that has been installed can be checked at "Stop limit sign", "Ground signal"
from Navigate-Jump to a predefined position. |

attacks by villains, rocks, stones, and fire. In addition, this simulator
has some exciting options such as rider jump (the kind of jump unique to
Kamen Rider, the hero) as well as the ranking system based on overall score,
and drew a lot of attraction by children in the W heroes' festival. |
 |
|
*This movie has sounds |
|
|
|
The function of UC-win/Road is used for creating the game. The game system
was structured by the scenario function. A variety of elements including
the obstacles, fire representation, sound, are arranged on the course with
the image of wild land. |
|
|
|
|
|
ITS driving simulator
Amlux TOYOTA Co., Ltd |
|
| This simulator was developed for the visitors to experience the advanced
car technology, ITS. Participants can experience driving on the expressway
with the latest infrastructure cooperation system "ITS spot service
(DSRC)" in VR. After each run, a report showing the driving skill
of the participant evaluated by the system appears, so that participants
can enjoy the driving simulation with their family and friends. |
 |
|
*This movie has sounds |
|
|
|
With the script "Course introduction", the overview of the virtual
road course from Ikebukuro to Iidabashi can be checked. By changing the
context, the weather setting including weather and reflection of the road
surface can be switched around. |
|
|
|
|
|
Bicycle simulator
Graduate school of University of Tokushima |
|
| UC-win/Road, and eye-mark recorder and head position sensor are linked
so that a variety of experiment condition can be set for this bicycle simulator.
This simulator is used for checking the angle
of view based on the size and the interval of each sign installed, the effect of visibility
time on the cyclist, the effectiveness of the
road surface signs including sign poles, feather, and pictograph. |
 |
|
|
|
|
With the script "Cycling", the overview of the bicycle simulator
and the surrounding landscape can be checked. In addition, how the
traffic sign for cyclists are placed can be checked at view point "sign
01"-"sign 06" by going to Navigate-Jump to a predefined position. |

Simulation for improving the route taken by students going to and from
school
Tatsumi Architects & Engineers |
|
| A route taken by students going to and from school is in the forested area
where it is dark even in the daytime not to mention blind spots are everywhere.
They organized a workshop for the local residence to provide a safer street
for students. UC-win/Road was used for people who are not familiar with
drawings so that they can easily picture roads and the surrounding environment
to pick the best route. The software was used for the simulation to check
for blind spots from the driver's perspective. As a result, in the final
workshop, one of 5 plans was chosen smoothly to be applied to the project. |

Please
execute the script "Script for explanation". Overview: The existing
stairs and the planned stairs can be checked and you can travel on the
planned stair, up and down. You can check the view by going to
Configure-change model visibility-Before/After. After means after
designing. Please check "Foot of the planned stair" and "Look up from
the square" by going to Navigate -Jump to a predefined position. |

3D VR modeling of the Hunter Expressway
Roads and Traffic Authority of NSW (RTA) |
|
| The Hunter Expressway is a new, 40 kilometer expressway in the Hunter region
of NSW under construction. The 3D model includes the whole length of the
expressway, six interchanges with a number of local roads, the new bridge
trusses that have been installed for the historic Railway Line. Predicted
traffic volumes were incorporated, with a traffic mix and this VR model
has been used live at community information sessions, stakeholder presentations
and meetings with property owners. |
 |
|
|
|
|
You
can read the description of Hunter Expressway from the script "About
the Hunter Express way". Not only can you check of each point by going
to Navigate-Jump to a predefined position, you can also change the
temperature by going to Configure-Change context-"Temp". In addition,
if you select "HunterExpressway-West" or "HunterExpressway-East" from
Navigate-Travel on road, you can travel on the wide road. |

VR simulation for consensus formation in the traffic nodes improvement project
Asahi Sokuryo Sekkei Co., Ltd |
|
| Initiatives of the project to improve traffic nodes in the S area of K
city include improving nodes by moving the train and bus stations to improve
the accessibility for the users, improving of the traffic flow on the highway,
and installing bicycle parking as a countermeasure to the problem of having
too many illegally-parked bicycles. This VR data is utilized as a tool
for consensus formation in scenes at conference among prefectural/municipal
leaders, police officers, railway entrepreneur, consultants, construction
workers, etc. |
 |
|
|
|
|
When
the script "Overview" is executed, you can check the scene in front of
the station, on transfer route, and scene of landscape at night. The
day time and night time can be switched around by clicking "Lighting
OFF" and "Lightning ON "from Configure-Change context. The specific
point on the pedestrian bridge can be checked on the landscape position
1-4. Please check the scene of traffic intersection and the pedestrian
bridge by going to Navigate-Travel on road -Train street for day
and night time. |

3D VR modeling of Black Spot Project
City of Nedlands |
|
| 3D virtual model of the intersection at Stirling Highway and Broadway,
and Hampden Road, in the City of Nedlands, Western Australia. The purpose
of the modeling was to visualize the final design of the intersection in
order to explain to local government councilors, the public and the affected
shop owners the impact of the final road layout design. The model showed
in real-time the traffic movements and traffic signal phasing. |
 |
|
|
|
|
Please execute the script "nedlands". The landscape representation
around the traffic intersection can be checked. The view point including
overhead can be checked from Navigate-Jump to a predefined position. |

Comparative approach to visibility of signboards using VR simulation
Graduate School of University of Tokyo |
|
| They have applied VR simulation to their research on visibility of the
signboards of the stores along the road from the driver's perspective.
Various types of sign can be displayed one by one to compare each of their
visibility from all kinds of angle and distance to figure out the perfect
angle and distance and to consider the reasons behind. The simulation has
contributed to the selection of design that is highly recognizable, for
a car dealer. |
 |
|
|
|
|
Please execute the script "Comparison on visibility of store signs".The visibility of the signs can be compared and checked.
The store signs and buildings can be checked at Initial view point,
block 2, block 3, block 4 by going to Navigate-Jump to a predefined position. |
