Title: Tools for Helping Traffic Engineers Realize Their Designs in an Interactive Virtual Driving Environment
Accession Number: 01333495
Record Type: Component
Abstract: Traffic engineers build three dimensional models of new roadways in tools that do not always lend themselves to efficient use in real time interactive driving simulators. The conversion of these models to let the engineers and public drive these new roadways in a driving simulator can be tedious and time consuming. To be effective the source models that are generated in AutoCAD Civil3D or Bentley Micro station software must be easy to convert into a format that can be used in driving simulation. The geometry must be converted to a format that allows rendering at 60 Hz with low latency, road paths for lanes and intersections must be able to be auto-generated for the vehicle traffic and pedestrian traffic necessary to increase realism and driver workload in the driving simulation. In addition, tools must exist to add cultural features either from existing data sets or acquired GPS data from hand held devices. Our paper will provide a methodology to convert data sets quickly into drivable simulation environments.
