TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION. |
|
|
| The purpose of this data is to give an easy experience "Corporate ITS" which is aiming the safe traffic society by communicating between vehicles and between the devices set on roads and vehicles. This system was showcased at ITS World Congress in Detroit. In addition to the transmission system between cars which the practical experiment is conducted in USA, the In the created VR environment, the highway and downtown in Detroit is reproduced in a high-precision VR environment. Combining with hardware via 6-axis motion platform makes the environment more improved when experiencing it. |

"Simulation for environmental upgrading around Higashi Takase river"
Fushimi Technical High School in Kyoto |
|
|
| The improvements to the surrounding environment of Higashi Takase River flowing along the west side of the school is one of the regional challenges. A group of students considered to devise a plan for the improvements as part of a task of their research project. The students modeled and simulated the kind of river environment the residents of this region wishes to have based on their responses to the interview and questionnaires the students conducted. They came up with the phrase "A river that brings people together" as the theme of their research project. They devised an integrated environment that incorporates a park located in the premise of an apartment building into the entirety of the environment surrounding the river as the improvement plan. |

"QuikDeck Promotion VR Data"
Nisso Industries Co., Ltd. |
|
|
| This VR data was designed for the promotion of a new type of scaffolding
constructed in a new manner. The interior of the plant and beams were modeled
as part of the 3D VR environment to highlight the strong features of the
new scaffolding that do not exist in any other scaffolding. By allowing
people models to interact with the moving scaffolding, the work flow of
assembling the scaffolding can be confirmed. |

"DSSS Experience VR Data"
UTMS Society of Japan |
|
|
| This driving simulator is designed to give the general public an opportunity
to experience what's it like driving through roads equipped with Driving
Safety Support Systems (hereafter, DSSS) which include sensors mounted
above each roadway or alongside it that alert drivers via in-vehicle units.
The driver can drive along several courses which are mirror reflections
of their real world counterparts reproduced within the 3D VR environment
and choose one of 6 different types of scenarios to experience. By comparing
the behavior of the vehicle that has in-vehicle units with other vehicles
that do not have such units, the effect of DSSS is visualized intuitively.

"Residential Building Design VR Simulation for N House"
atelier DoN |
|
|
| A case study in which VR was used for housing design. It was used not only
for design of the appearance and inside but also for checking the view
from the surrounding in terms of privacy issue. CFD analysis was separately
conducted and then the temperature distribution and wind flow via air conditioning
system were visualized. Checking the site via AR was also conducted and,
in the future, VR-Cloud will be used for the conferences with owners. |

"Construction VR Simulation for the bridge replacement"
SOZOTECH |
|
|
| This VR model was designed to run a 3D simulation that visualizes the entire
process of a bridge replacement construction work over a second class river
from the planning of construction to the completion of the work. The 3D
simulation includes the visualization of the construction steps to build
a temporary bridge as a detour for cars to cross over during the bridge
replacement construction work, the construction steps to install the girder
of the superstructure at night time, and the plan to divert traffic due
to construction. The scene of night time construction and the visibility
of a driver driving on a detour can be verified within the 3D VR environment,
the whole data being designed with the ultimate goal of running the discussion
among stakeholders more smoothly and to obtain approval from the residents.

"Onuma Floating Istands landscape simulation
Sanyu Eng. Ltd |
|
|
| ONUMA-NO-UKISHIMA (Onuma Floating Islands) located in Asahi-cho Yamagata
Prefecture in Japan, was discovered in 680. The pond whose shape resembles
a gourd encompasses about 60 islands scattered all over the place and was
designated in 1925 as Yamagata's first National Scenic Area. With the order-receiving
for perimeter survey of a pond as a start, the nearby shrine and bridge
which is said to bring romance, the top-down and birds eye view which are
not actually happened and the island's floating situation are expressed
in VR environment. Moreover measuring the point cloud can make it realized
to express the more realistic data. |

"Driving support agent VR simulation"
Doshisha University |
|
|
| This data is intended to research development of next-generation cooperative
driving support agent simulation via VR environment. A movable 3D measurement
system make it possible to create VR data based on the measured point cloud
information and to reproduce the inside of the campus which is used as
a testing site for sensing a high degree of accuracy. The advanced research
can be now conducted by equipping with a driving simulator with the parts
of actual vehicle and an omnidirectional camera / laser unit and building
the system combined with a micro-mini electric vehicle which can be automatically
advanced controlled. |

"G'EduCom in Bordeaux"
ITS Bordeaux La CUB & BMIA |
|
|
| The realistic immersion of the users allows to test without constraints
their reactions in front of various situations: accident, pedestrians'
crossing, difficult weather conditions, heavy traffic... Wit h a touchpad
command interface the trainer checks the whole simulation via a simple
interface. He can inject events into various places of the driving route,
modify weather conditions, etc.... He can also ask questions (MCQ) to the
trainees through their own interactive tablet that they can use to interfere
with the VR as well as answering the questions. A full report of the training
session with C02 equivalent emission, fuel consumption and time reactions
to event is available on real time. |

"Redlands California Flood Analysis Project using VR"
Michael Baker International |
|
|
| The downtown area of Redlands has been plagued by flooding with water of
over 1 to 1.75 meters in depth contributed by four major watersheds that
surround the area and undersized aging infrastructure incapable of handling
water of such depth flooding from the watersheds for over 125 years. The
City of Redlands requested a comprehensive study to identify potential
improvements and their potential impacts whose results can be used to establish
flood risk maps in addition to establishing a basis for future Drainage
Impact Fees, and a solution can support public approval. In response to
this, Michael Baker International, in the course of the project ordered
by their client, analyzed the flood hazards within the Redlands area larger
than 2 square kilometers for the 100-year storm event, and the risks associated
with not improving the existing storm drain infrastructure with the DTM
surface that is linked to the City's existing subsurface storm drain system
by creating a 1D/2D hydraulic model using xpswmm (a comprehensive software
package for dynamic modelling of stormwater, river systems, floodplains,
and sewage systems), and imported the analysis result into VR-Design Studio
to graphically show the flood hazards and the risks as 3D animation. Sketchup
building models, detailed aerial photograph, roads, trees, lights, and
a railroad were also included in VR-Design Studio's 3D environment to make
the scene even more realistic. The 3D-hybrid animation created through
this project depicting a link between xpswmm and VR-Design Studio were
also presented in an International Floodplain Conference, and successfully
play a big role of building consensus among the stakeholders and communities
to increase the city's Drainage Impact Fees. |

Minami-Sunamachi Station on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line is expressed in
VR environment. It is possible to experience driving to the next station
and even passing on a bridge and in a tunnel. Evaluation will be displayed
according to how accurate the driver could stop the train via Scenario
