| FORUM 8 and one of its French Partner companies, BMIA of Bordeaux, attended
this year's TRB Visualization Symposium in Chicago. The delegates came
from transport consultancies, private companies and State DOTs from all
over the USA and Canada. Philippe Marsaud of BMIA gave a presentation on
Monday 22nd entitled "The Application of 3D Visual Interactive Simulation
Technology to Highway and Tunnel Emergency Training and Management."
The presentation was very well attended and generated many questions both
immediately after the presentation and then later over coffee.Philippe's
presentation was based on the joint Forum8 and BMIA initiative known as
G'VAL. |

This new solution involves the use of real-time 3D Visual Interactive Simulation
software (UC-win/Road) to produce realistic and accurate visual simulations
which allow communication:
Internally with the project team prior to and during
the evolution of the project
Externally with stakeholders and the media
Driven by the SCADA system, G'VAL allows Tunnel and Road operators to be
trained in a realistic environment thanks to the use of the real operational
Human Management Interface (HMI).
The 3D visual simulation of a wide range of different scenarios provides
the user with the ability to evaluate and assess the impact of every conceivable
potential traffic emergency incident.
