VR Simulation for Traffic Regulation to
Divert Traffic During Night Construction
Iwasaki CO., LTD. |
|
|
| Plans to divert and regulate traffic
around an intersection near the "Tokachi Ohashi bridge" undergoing
repair work was put on trial via VR simulation. The VR technology was
used to visualize the regulation plan in order to confirm drivers'
visibility during night and winter, procedure for diverting and
regulating traffic, and the predicted traffic flow itself, which in
turn helped shed lights on potential problems prior to plans being
enforced. This VR traffic simulation for traffic regulation was
featured at a "Conference on CIM" hosted by Japan Society of Civil
Engineers which took place in Sapporo on July 5th, 2013, as a case
study on the use of CIM in construction. |

Driver Training and Assessment System of PCC
(Pure Car Carrier) Simulator
Qube Ports and Bulk |
|
|
| QUBE wished to improve the training
of drivers who unload or load 700,000 new imported and exported
vehicles per year from the Pure Car Carrier (PCC) ships that dock in
Australia from around the world. QUBE's aim is to achieve Zero Damage
to the vehicles being unloaded. The solution is the PCC simulator. The
PCC simulator consists of a drive simulator with a 3D virtual model of
a PCC ship and the wharf to which the vehicles are unloaded and parked.
A new Driver Training and Assessment system permits a Trainer to select
a driving scenario for the driver seated in the simulator, who then
drives in the 3D virtual model, down a number of ramps in the ship to
the wharf and then to a specified parking spot. He may encounter a
number of hazards and different day/night and weather conditions, and
also is required to keep to certain speeds and maintain safe distances
with obstacles and cars in front. At the end of the drive he is
assessed for correct operating procedure and driving skill, against
criteria that also include maintaining an ideal route, manueovring
skills, parking accuracy, collision risk control, steering and pedal
control. Both trainer and driver are able to view a real-time replay of
the drive, which assists in pinpointing areas for improvement. |

VR Simulation that uses
Tsunami/Evacuation Analysis Results
Pacific
Consultants Co., LTD. |
|
|
| Tsunami analysis results that take
into account the dynamic movement of wave and traffic analysis results
extracted by traffic simulation using micro models of vehicular traffic
during an emergency were combined to elicit the overall result of
tsunami analysis in the course of consulting for measures against
tsunami. By visualizing these results within the same VR environment
for assessment, they were able to conceive measures far more effective
than these devised using the previous consulting scheme. |

Executing the animation allows
you to see the evacuation situation in the event of tsunami occurs and
tsunami prevention measures in VR environment. Flash movie shows the
images before and after measures are taken. |

stretching 300 meters on all 4 directions from the south side of JR
Osaka station was modeled within the 3D VR environment. Accurately
reproduced buildings together with roads and underground shopping mall
on which vehicles and pedestrians are made to travel provided the most
suitable VR environment for simulating vehicle and pedestrian behavior,
controling traffic signals, analyzing crowd behavior in underground
alleys and validating the effectiveness of signages and evacuation
guidance in terms of safely evacuating people to a safe place, all of
which are research initiatives in quest for optimizing the future
society via ITC. |

The Use of VR Simulation to Evaluate Safety
of a New Type of Road (2+1) as well as Drivers' Behavior
University of Seoul |
|
|
| The Korean Ministry of Land,
Infrastructure and Transport is planning to construct a type of road
(2+1) new to Korea. 2+1 road is comprised of 2 lanes each serving
traffic going in the direction opposite to each other, and a passing
lane. As the building cost is cheaper than that of building 4 lane
road, the plan is put forward, however most drivers are not used to
driving on this new type of road, and hence the driving simulator was
used to evaluate its safety. A model of 13km road that represents the
2+1 road was created, and the condition and behavior of 50 test drivers
while they drove on the passing lane of the virtual road was analyzed
by looking at the log that are output in real-time which describes the
accelerator and brake position, speed, and offsets from the center
line, and also by counting the brain pulse of the drivers and tracking
their eyes. The analysis result was used as a source for verifying the
safetyness of the new road. |

Executing the animation allows
you to see the structure of a new type of road "2+1". Moreover
executing the scenario enables you to experience driving on the actual
road. |

Proposal of a New Engineering Method for
Installing Single Track Railway Bridges
Noda
Engineering Co., Ltd. |
|
|
| Installing railway bridges for
single track railway is a challenging task because they tend to be
situated at a place that provide limited space for crane movement such
as a train station's platform or a mountainous region. Then there is
the issue of bridges being destroyed by a cloudburst which we see
happening lately. A smart engineering method for installing these
railway bridges that can withstand heavily rain at a place where space
is an issue was proposed using VR technology. |

Proposed Improvements on
Special Traffic Safety Status Investigation in Republic of Korea
Korea
Transportation Safety Authority（TS） |
|
|
| The Korean Ministry of Land,
Infrastructure and Transport and Korean Transportation Safety Authority
investigates the actual road and traffic condition on the nation's
roads and highways every year to evaluate their safety. Areas that fall
below the country's Traffic Safety Index and Traffic Safety Culture
Index require improvement. To propose the solution plan with new road
alighment and road facilities for these areas, the current condition
and the proposed plan was reproduced as VR environment using
UC-win/Road, and included them within documents to be submitted for
approval. |
 |
|
|
|
|
Executing the animation allows
you to see safety measures at the intended spots. Moreover it is
possible to switch from the traffic state before measures were taken to
the traffic state after measures were taken or vice versa by selecting
the camera position. |

VR was used to promote safety and use of the
Narita Smart Interchange, which consequently streamlined business!
ORIENTAL
CONSULTANTS Co., Ltd. |
|
|
| VR model of the Narita Smart
Interchange, which was built to mitigate traffic congestion, was
created during off-hours as means of decreasing traffic accidents in
the interchange and encouraging more drivers to take it, consequently
streamlining all types of business related to the interchange. In
particular, this virtual environment was designed for use with driving
simulation scenarios to test different sign design and the visibilty of
signs for safety measures. The driving simulator was showcased in a
local festival in the city of Narita where it drew a big crowd and
encouraged more public activities and also contributed to questionaries
being filled out by more people. Further developments are planned. |

3D VR Training Environment for Automobile
Driver
Virtual Simulation and Training
Inc.(VSAT) |
|
|
| VSAT's 3D VR Training Environment
built using UC-win/Road is situated on a 16 square mile land comprised
of highways with on/off ramps, city streets, intersections, railway
crossings, Driving Agility Cone Courses, etc. and hosts various driving
hazards and training scenarios designed to enable students to
experience common driving situations and hazards, while guided by their
instructor that control environmental conditions and scenarios using
the Simulator Control Station, developed using the SDK, from a separate
screen. Simulator Control Station also tracks the scenario progress and
the position of the driven vehicle using an overhead view of the land
area used. In a Driving Agility Cone Course that also serves as
training environment for Emergency Vehicle drivers, the Control Station
keeps track of how many cones were touched, and how many were knocked
down by the driver to evaluate their maneuvering skills. VSAT's 3D VR
Training Environment is indeed the most effective driver training
system, as students can use the driving simulator "full screen" that
provide peripherial vision while the instructor controls weather, time
of day, visibility (fog and haze), road conditions, and viewing
distance from the Simulator Control Station, without students being
able to predict the next driving environment and scenarios. The
instructor can also control traffic density in each of the major
training areas, the city, the highway, and the Interstate Freeway. |
