Research, Education, and Development (RED): Examining Characteristics of Roadway Infastructure in Various 3D Visualization Modes
| 项目名称： | Research, Education, and Development (RED): Examining Characteristics of Roadway Infastructure in Various 3D Visualization Modes |
| 摘要： | Utilizing enhanced visualization in transportation planning and design gained popularity in the last decade. Starting with a relatively small proof-of-concept project, overall plans for this project eventually are as follows: (1) Utilize crash data to identify three types of intersections with high crash rates; (2) Develop 3D models for the intersections; (3) Use VirtuTrace, a virtual reality simulation engine developed by the Principal Investigator (PI), to present full-scale, interactive simulations for the intersections, where designers can change various characteristics of the intersections and road conditions in real time, with the simulation including interactive traffic elements, such as various types of vehicles, traveling paths, and speeds;(4) Identify a group of experts and use a focus-group approach to examine the intersections for safety deficiencies; and (5) Collect data and compare the data between the two modes of visualizations. Work with the Iowa State University Construction Engineering Highway Design course instructor on developing educational modules that utilize the developments. |
