A VR solution that supports full town development that meets technical standards in an optimized visualization.

1. The ocean and mountains seen from the city and beloved by local people - we create a VR of a target development and reproduction area including surrounding terrain and nature. We support the city planning in consideration of terrain, environment, traffic, and disaster prevention essential for a consensus building.
2. The current scenery and planned scenery after development can be compared from any positions in VR space such as windows of buildings and houses, sidewalks, and moving vehicles.
3. In addition to architecture, important city elements such as road, intersection, and traffic can be reviewed easily. Users can share the image of active move of human and vehicle and bicycle. This will be effective to simulate railroad, new traffic system, and station square redevelopment.
4. We help engineers to operate and explain the VR space.

Redevelopment VR simulation

This is a material for the review of redevelopment plan including planned roads and a new traffic system. We created buildings in the planned area and faraway landmarks and imported buildings in surrounding areas in IFC format. The data includes context settings about switch of landscape before and after design, season select, change of time and weather, and camera position switch. One driving scenario on the planned road, terrain edit, and plant rendering are available.

Urban Intersection VR Simulation

Large intersection in an urban area with 2 roads and a crossing are shown. It is possible to load point cloud and compare it with VR. Buildings directly impacting the area can be directly translated into the VR simulation by using accurate point cloud measurements. Pedestrians will move around the area freely with the crowd function. Total Distance (A) 1.705km Man-day (B) 　5.000 Option work Man-day (C) 9.400 Aerial photo Optional Data creation cost USD14,200

City Planning VR Simulation

We created VR as an assessment material for a land development and area arrangement. The VR can be used to check landscapes after the area arrangement, height differences in the developed land, and streets leading to the residential area from the planned roads. In this simulation, users can review the sunshine blocked by high buildings. As for the solar panel install plan on the roof of a low building, the sunshine reflection to south and northern buildings is predicted. The 5m mesh is used for the terrain, and surrounding objects and roadside objects are expressed by samples in RoadDB. It has context settings of the winter and summer solstice. Assessment plug-in is used. ▲Calculate green view rate ▲Sunshine investigation ▲Sunlight Total Distance (A) 1.580km Man-day (B) 　4.100 Option work Man-day (C) 8.200 Aerial photo Not included Data creation cost USD11,600

Reproduce hazardous situations in VR and provides driving experience

1. Controls objects other than own vehicle (other vehicle, pedestrian, signal). Hazardous situations that are difficult to reproduce in real world can be experienced and reviewed in VR.
2. Date, season, and weather in the created course can be changed. Experiences via driving simulator are supported.
3. The VR contributes to the check of issues such as drivability on junction or detour, visibility of road signs, and traffic limitation by visualizing it.
4. Creates a driving course of autonomous driving. A cycling route can be created too. These driving courses help users to check roads from each view of cyclist, pedestrian, and driver.

▲Autonomous driving tests using VR

Interchange DS Experiment VR

We created a highway intersection VR data that can be used for driving simulator experiment. In the data, drivers simulates driving from a normal road to a highway via a toll gate. We created several merging and splitting scenarios. The VR has a high reality with toll gates and management facilities. ETC lane bars open and close. The scenario control can display other vehicle movement. Total Distance (A) 6.666km Man-day (B) 　5.100 Option work Man-day (C) 15.000 Aerial photo Optional Data creation cost USD39,000

Junction VR Simulation

This data contains a JCT with total of 8 ramps in both directions connected to other roads. The complicated road structure is expressed with a road connecting to the main highway after merging in from different ramps. Users can drive on all routes. One autonomous driving scenario is available. Total Distance (A) 10.895km Man-day (B) 　4.500 Option work Man-day (C) 11.000 Aerial photo Not included Data creation cost USD47,800

Kushimoto Bridge / Myouga Loop Bridge Simulation

Kushimoto Bridge and Myouga Loop Bridge (1.6km) to link Oshima with Kushimoto-cho, southernmost end of Honshu and road data model (0.3km) in Oshima. Kushimoto Bridge designed by Osaka office of Nippon Koei Co., Ltd. This sample data is used as proposal of bridge preliminary design.
