Program Overview

UC-win/Road is a 3D Real-time VR Software Package, used for stakeholder consultation for road and construction projects. Many plug-ins have been released for this software program, but none that enables data sharing and collaborative work have been released until now.
As a new plug-in, we have developed web-based communication system, which enables to share 3D environments, synchronize data, alter camera positions and simulate driving.

Functions and Features

This Plugin enables communication between multiple UC-win/Road users.

Users can send comments and scenery details (camera position/direction, time etc.) over the internet. These features enable collaborative design work and stakeholder consultation.

In addition, it allows network-based driving simulation.

Sending and receiving control information

Using the same data, multiple users can view the environment from the same camera position.
In addition, by placing the server in the environment that can be accessed over the internet, information can be exchanged over the internet.


<Available Functions>

  1. Synchronization of camera positions
    You can share your screen with multiple users by sanding the camera position, direction and angle.

  2. Synchronization of time
    Various times of the day (morning, daytime, nighttime) can be synchronized and shared with other users.

  3. Changing the transmission interval
    By optimizing the transmission interval with the user’s system environment, users can use the synchronization functions smoothly.

Chat function

You can chat with multiple users.
Using the data transmission function of UC-win/Road, meetings and conferences based on UC-win/Road data can be achieved.


Network-based driving simulation

The function to enable multiple users to drive in the same UC-win/Road environment is planned for development.
For example, users will be able to drive around the same circuit course in UC-win/Road over the web, or LAN.
This could be useful in research, where interaction with other drivers is studied.

▲ Screen of driver B (blue car)


Synchronization of vehicle data

By transmitting information about each driver’s vehicle, each vehicle can be displayed in the same environment.


Synchronization of scenario execution

By synchronizing the start of the scenario, all users can start their scenarios simultaneously.
