Application of Augmented Reality and Tangible Interfaces to Minimize Work zone Effects on Mobility through Participatory Planning
项目名称: Application of Augmented Reality and Tangible Interfaces to Minimize Work zone Effects on Mobility through Participatory Planning
摘要: This research uses augmented reality and virtual reality to provide real-time simulations of traffic flow through a work zone. Particularly, a tangible interface will be provided to enable stakeholders to physically interact with various work zone elements to view their effect on commuters in real-time. A review of the state of art and practice on the specification and standards for the design of highway work-zones will be performed to identify the key decision points. The Unity� game engine will be utilized to create a reconfigurable highway work zone incorporating above decision alternatives and through which the flow of traffic will be simulated. The Vuforia� augmented reality platform will then be used to enable users to create tangible markers to physically manipulate the work zone elements, resulting in changes that are immediately displayed in the ongoing traffic simulation. Finally the entire simulation will be set up on an AR sandbox interface that utilizes a camera and projector to enable decision-makers to physically affect the simulation by reconfiguring the work zone. It is expected this research will result in a novel interface to study and design work zones that enables rapid prototyping and simulation of different work zone configurations.
