| Simulated driving diagnosis system using CG simulation
|
| National Agency for Automotive Safety & Victims' Aid |
|
Content :
The most distinguishing feature of driving competence diagnosis system
"NASVA NET" is that it's a "simulated driving diagnosis
system using CG simulation", which uses VR simulation carried out
over the internet. This covers separate diagnoses of grades for safe eco-driving,
defensive safe driving, hasty driving and considerate driving. The movement
of cars driving on this simulator is recorded and analysed to give advice
about safe driving. |

Sakai City Oshoji LRT Project VR data
|
| Osaka University, Graduate School of Engineering, Division of Sustainable
Energy and Environmental Engineering |
|
Content :
This VR was created in order to consider and build consensus for a planned
LRT improvement project in Sakai City. The proposed subject area for the
installation includes an area of about 1.6km from Sakai station on the
Nankai Electric Railway Main Line to Sakai-higashi station on the Koya
Line. Besides the present situation, it can depict plans for the layout
approaching the LRT tracks, transit mall plans, roadside landscape plans,
etc. and the future of central Sakai city can be considered from the perspective
of traffic and landscape. |

Erection of construction girders for underground passageway construction
in train stations.
|
| Noda Engineering Co., Ltd. |
|
Content :
We erect temporary construction girders for the construction of elevators
and underground passageways just under a railway at a barrier-free train
station. The installation work will be performed in a narrow space between
platforms and crane operation is impossible, therefore a new erection method
is being investigated and the details are being drawn up in VR. |

| VR utilization case in educational curriculum
|
| Daido Institute of Technology, Department of Civil Engineering and Environmental
Design |
|
Content :
In this research, the creation of a street landscape pattern and the proposal
of street landscape evaluation method based on a marketing approach are
being performed by VR. As VR that's been used for consistent training in
urban development since 2007, practical training with UC-win/Road has been
adopted with the aim of training technicians that can design and do design
proposals from various perspectives. |

AFRICA_SUDAN Project
|
| CION Media Company (Turkey) |
|
Content :
CION Media Company has created the 3D City Model of a new town for the
people in hunger and poverty in Darfur, SUDAN, AFRICA. The project idea
belongs to KIMSE YOK MU? Solidarity and Aid Association who helps to poor
people by donations coming from charitable people. The project area is
a desert now, and people live in tents in the area. The new town will include
800 single storey houses, a mosque, municipality building, school, health
center, public education center and etc. city functions. |

Regional Construction Award
Mr. Hiroo Kasagi (NPO Chiiki Zukuri Kobou) |
|
| Sancheong-Sudong VR Simulation
|
| Busan Regional Construction & Management Office (Korea) |
|
Content :
There were clashes of opinion between villagers over the National Highway
No. 3 plan being constructed from Sinyeon-ri Saengcho-myeon Sancheong-gun
Gyeongsangnam-do to Hwasan-ri Sudong-myeon Hamyang-gun Gyeongsangnam-do,
Korea and the most suitable route had to be selected by comparing a route
that passes in front of village to one that detours around the back of
it. The most suitable plan for local residents (the route passing behind
the village) was chosen through an explanatory meeting. |

Simulation of an evacuation in an aging society using 3D VR
|
| Taisei Engineering Co., Ltd. |
|
Content :
Given the circumstances of our aging society, there are a lot of public
facilities that were built during years of rapid economic growth. Evacuation
analysis using 3D VR is an analysis where by using characteristics inherent
to the inclusion of elderly people, it is possible to suggest low-cost
safety measures using the existing facilities' structure. This case supposes
there's a fire in a tunnel and introduces the linkage of 3D VR to an evacuation
analysis of an evacuation situation with elderly and healthy people. |

Digital Phoenix Project by UC-win/Road III
|
| Arizona State University (USA) |
|
Content :
The Digital Phoenix Project started 2 years ago, with a total cost of one
hundred million yen. This is an academic research VR model used to 1) generate
traffic from highways to the city centre and visualize the traffic conditions
at main road intersections. 2) collect data about the drive, the time it
takes and CO2 emissions from the driving simulator. 3) develop traffic
routes and test tools for emergency situations such as terror. |

EAZET construction VR Simulation
|
| Asahi Kasei Construction Materials Corporation |
|
Content :
Use as a tool for the explanation of rotating pile construction method
"EAZET construction", which achieves low-noise, low-vibration
construction without earth removal. As there is more than one choice of
pile construction method, we portray the actual construction environment
in 3D, apply the "EAZET construction method" in it and the customers
see that as an animation, thus we achieve proposals that are easily understandable
for a broad range of stakeholders. |

3D Exhibition of North Grand Canal Ecological Rehabilitation
|
| Haihe River Water Conservation Commission, Ministry of Water Resources
(China) |
|
Content :
The "North Grand Canal Ecological Rehabilitation Project" (at
the northern end of the Grand Canal) simulation is created based on a plan
from Longshun Bridge to the Qujiadian reach. A compatibility model was
adopted for the data, the openness and compatibility of UC-win/Road were
fully exercised and application features of the project area were represented.
It became possible to provide a fresh and clear method of representing
the proposed project. |

Evacuation Simulation of Hongqiao Traffic Network Center Building
|
| Shanghai T.E.F Building Safety Consulting Co., Ltd. (China) |
|
Content :
Shanghai Hongqiao is a coordinated arterial "BRT (Bus Rapid Transit)
Traffic" centre connecting various transit systems such as rail, road
traffic, long-distance buses, etc. In the future, it will be one of the
most complex traffic arterial works in the world. Since the simulation
of overall planning and manpower dispersal is needed to replicate future
appearance and ensuring more safety, VR representation was performed using
EXODUS evacuation analysis and UC-win/Road. |

Tsinghua Sware Software Hi-Tech Co. Ltd. (China)
|
| Tsinghua Sware Software Hi-Tech Co. Ltd. (China) |
|
Content :
Yantain Port, the sixth largest port in the world, is located in the east
of Shenzhen. This project is a high efficiency, stereoscopic and multifunctional
modern distribution center unifying warehouses, offices, a multilevel car
parking tower and a discharging area. A lot of green space was put around
the warehouses and it was considered an important point that the detailed
design of the commercial buildings project the individual distribution
companies' images because that was the area where people gather most in
the construction group. |

 UC-win/Road Experience Simulator |
This is a description of theUC-win/Road Experience Simulator, which is comprised of UC-win/Road, the UC-win/Road Drive Option and the SUBARU Driving Simulator by the
Subaru Corporation's Customisation Workshop.
UC-win/Road is advanced Virtual Reality (VR) software, which allows you
to create a 3D road space easily on your PC and simulate various environments
in real time. In recent years, UC-win/Road has gained a good reputation
for project modelling along with its use as a driving simulator for research
and development.
This simulator unit uses a automatic 6-axis motion unit (patented), accomplished
through a fusion of flight simulator technology from the Fuji Heavy Industries
Aerospace Department with the technology of the Subaru Automobile Department.
In this simulator, actual vehicle components have been used for the steering
mechanism and so on, making it possible to experience the sensation of
driving a real car.
Rapid advances in car safety technology development over the last few years,
such as virtual traffic accident experiences and new ITS technologies,
can become reality through the sense of real driving provided by this experience
simulator.
