 Program Overview
 |
|
It allows you to create several driving situations and re-create it under
complete control.
Recently Drive Simulator is widely used for vehcle system development or
interaction research among drivers, vehicles, road and traffic, on ITS
traffic system research.
Easy to create a 3DVR space freely!
3D cockpit, manual driving, multi monitors are installable.

Large sized DS: six axes, a Yaw -X table, and eight clustering PC
Providing technical assistance with a manufacturer in foreign country,
we are building a large-sized simulator.It can support from 6 axis motion
to translation device, 360 degree projection, clustering + controlled PC,
real-time processing and so on.It is available to support manual transmission
and track as well.You can use 3D VR modelling in UC-win/Road so that feel
free to create various running environment freely. Moreover, it assists
all simulation process from log measurement and recording to analysis. |

<Related pages>ECO drive plug-in (Up & Coming 2009 early spring issu)
ECO drive plug-in calculates the fuel consumption / CO2 emission, and support
graph creation, based on driving logs by UC-win/Road. |
|
 Evaluation formula of carbon footprint
Generally, carbon footprint based on vehicle running has been know to be
in proportion to fuel consumption so that it is clear to be able to quantify
adequately by three factors such as "travelling time T" and "travel
distance D", "Feature of fluctuant vehicle speed".Eco driving
plug-in calculates fuel consumption and carbon footprint using a formula
(1) based on a result of driving log. |
 |
Major feature
It has "Ecology drive log output star" and "Save Ecology
drive log as", "Calculate carbon footprint" as UC-win/Road
tool's menu and is available to output a driving log or to calculate carbon
footprint by selecting any one from these tools. It can change each parameter
in the evaluation formula of carbon footprint as well. It saves the ecological
drive log as data file so that we can re-create the calculated
result later. In the result of "Calculate carbon footprint",
the values such as Travel time (T) and Travel distance (D), fuel consumption
(Q), carbon footprint are displayed. A number of graphs are available in
the graph create function, for instance, acceleration and speed, fuel consumption
per time, cumulative fuel consumption, carbon footprint per hour, cumulative
carbon footprint. Moreover, we can output a result as CSV file and use
it with Microsoft Excel. |
The screen of "Calculate carbon footprint"
|
 Validation example
Regarding the relationship between "sudden starting / sudden stop"
and carbon footprint, creating a ordinary city by UC-win/Road and running
through it so that it is easy to validate the relationship between driving
condition and carbon footprint. In the graphs shows the results from rough
driving to gentle driving, it points out that when we drive roughly, amount
of carbon footprint
increase. In general, it is necessary to introduce Ecological driving,
when we start to learn how to
drive. Please utilise it for training or checking.

UC-win/Road 3D stereo view |
|
| Pricing: Request for quotation |
UC-win/Road Ver.4 Planned functions
This 3D-view hardware, in combination with VR data from
UC-win/Road, enables a more realistic visualization.We
provide the function to use VR data created by UC-win/Road
and output it as 3D data as 3D Stereo view.Since the
creation of this device, we have seen an increased market
for VR 3D displays used, particularly for driving simulations,
searches, and developments. |
 |
The projection of polarised light,
using both passive and active binocular disparity is supported.
 |
Using the 3D stereo view system
Projection of polarised light (passive)
- Position both projectors so that the image merges and there is no double-vision.
- Display the image through a polarisation filter.
- Use the UC-win/Road stereo "Option" to adjust the view point
height and binocular vision.
- When using a silver screen, wear a pair of glasses enhanced with binocular
disparity and the images will seem to pop out in 3D.
Required hardware
- Projection of polarized light (Passive)
Silver screen Projector (2) Projector rack / Polarisation filter : for
projector (2)?A pair of glasses with polarised lenses / 3D Video card:
output terminal (2) (We recommend using two video cards)
- Projection of active stereo display
