System for checking the position where equipments are installed
Japan Railway Construction, Transport and Technology Agency |
|
| Visibility of the traffic signal signs need to be verified by the crew
from their view point at each fixed position. If this verification can
be done at the designing stage, the possibility of moving after installation
can be decreased and cost can be saved. This system enables crews to check
and examine the visibility of the signal signs from their view point using
VR, when building a new railway or renovating the existing one. |

car technology, ITS. Participants can experience driving on the expressway
with the latest infrastructure cooperation system "ITS spot service
(DSRC)" in VR. After each run, a report showing the driving skill
of the participant evaluated by the system appears, so that participants
can enjoy the driving simulation with their family and friends. |

With the script "Ί°½Πξ", the overview of the virtual road course
from Ikebukuro to Iidabashi can be checked. By changing the context, the
weather setting including weather, reflection of the road surface can be
switched. |

Bicycle simulator
Graduate school of University of Tokushima |
|
| UC-win/Road, and eye-mark recorder and head position sensor are linked
so that a variety of experiment condition can be set for this bicycle simulator.
This simulator is used for the experience for checking the expected angle
based on the size and the installed interval of each sign, the visibility
time effect on the visibility of the cyclist, the effectiveness of the
road surface signs including the sign, sign poles, feather, and pictograph. |
 |
|
|
|
|
With the script "Cycling", the overview of the bicycle simulator
and the surrounding landscape can be checked. In addition, the placement
condition of the traffic sign for bicycle can be checked at the "sign
01"-"sign 06" from Navigate-Jump to a predefined position. |

Simulation for improving the route taken by students going to and from
school
Tatsumi Architects & Engineers |
|
| A route taken by students going to and from school is in the forested area
where it is dark even in the daytime not to mention blind spots are everywhere.
They organized a workshop for the local residence to provide a safer street
for students. UC-win/Road was used for people who are not familiar with
drawings so that they can easily picture roads and the surrounding environment
to pick the best route. The software was used for the simulation to check
for blind spots from the driver's perspective. As a result, in the final
workshop, one of 5 plans was chosen smoothly to be applied to the project. |

Please execute the script "ΰΎp½ΈΨΜίΔ". Overview: The The existing
stair:ωΆKi and the planned stair:vζKi can be checked and you can
travel on the planned stair, up and down. You can check the view from Configure-change
model visibility-Before/After. After means after designing. Please check
vζKiγθϋ and Lκͺζθ©γ° from Navigate -Jump to a predefined

3D VR modeling of the Hunter Expressway
Roads and Traffic Authority of NSW (RTA) |
|
| The Hunter Expressway is a new, 40 kilometer expressway in the Hunter region
of NSW under construction. The 3D model includes the whole length of the
expressway, six interchanges with a number of local roads, the new bridge
trusses that have been installed for the historic Railway Line. Predicted
traffic volumes were incorporated, with a traffic mix and this VR model
has been used live at community information sessions, stakeholder presentations
and meetings with property owners. |
 |
|
|
|
|
You can check the description of Hunter Expressway from the script "About
the Hunter Express way". As well as check of each point from Navigate-Jump
to a predefined position, the temperature can be changed from Configure-Change
context-"Temp". In addition, if you select "HunterExpressway-West"
or "HunterExpressway-East" from Navigate-Travel on road, you
can travel on the wide road with view in Australia. |

VR simulation for consensus creation in the traffic nodes improvement project
Asahi Sokuryo Sekkei Co., Ltd |
|
| Initiatives of the project to improve traffic nodes in the S area of K
city include improving nodes by moving the train and bus stations to improve
the accessibility for the users, improving of the traffic flow on the highway,
and installing bicycle parking as a countermeasure to the problem of having
too many illegally-parked bicycles. This VR data is utilized as a tool
for consensus formation in scenes at conference among prefectural/municipal
leaders, police officers, railway entrepreneur, consultants, construction
workers, etc. |
 |
|
|
|
|
When the script "Tv" is executed, you can check the scene in
front of the station, transfer route, night landscape. The day time and
night time can be switched by "ΖΎOFF" and "ΖΎON "from
Configure-Change context. The specific point of the pedestrian bridge can
be checked on the landscape position 1-4. Please see the scene of traffic
intersection and the pedestrian bridge from Navigate-Travel on road -dΤΚθ
for day and night time. |

3D VR modeling of Black Spot Project
City of Nedlands |
|
| 3D virtual model of the intersection at Stirling Highway and Broadway,
and Hampden Road, in the City of Nedlands, Western Australia. The purpose
of the modeling was to visualize the final design of the intersection in
order to explain to local government councilors, the public and the affected
shop owners the impact of the final road layout design. The model showed
in real-time the traffic movements and traffic signal phasing. |
 |
|
|
|
|
Please execute the script "nedlands". The landscape representation
around the traffic intersection can be checked. The view point including
overhead can be checked from Navigate-Jump to a predefined position. |

Comparative approach to visibility of signboards using VR simulation
Graduate School of University of Tokyo |
|
| They have applied VR simulation to their research on visibility of the
signboards of the stores along the road from the driver's perspective.
Various types of sign can be displayed one by one to compare each of their
visibility from all kinds of angle and distance to figure out the perfect
angle and distance and to consider the reasons behind. The simulation has
contributed to the selection of design that is highly recognizable, for
a car dealer. |
 |
|
|
|
|
Please execute the script "XάΕΒΜF«δr".The visibility
of the signs can be compared and checked. The advertising display and buildings
can be checked at ϊ_, 2Xζ, 3Xζ, 4Xζ from Navigate-Jump to a
predefined position. |
|
|
|
|
|
| It is advanced software that enables the creation of large scale 3D spaces
for all sorts of projects by simple PC operations and with which you can
give a variety of presentations in real-time. |
 |
|
|
 
|
| VR-Cloud (R) is a consensus building solution which uses 3D and VR on a
cloud server. |
