NEW FUNCTION

Vir t ua l re a lit y d e s ig n s t udio

UC-win/Road Ver.17 New Functions

CityGML Data Export
Open data simpliﬁes operation
The PLATEAU project of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure,
Transport and Tourism is in the process of creating 3D citymodels of Japanese cities. For UC-win/Road, FORUM8 has also
worked on adding a function to import these city models.
UC-win/Road 17 added the ability to output in CityGML format.
This is intended for use where UC-win/Road is used as a platform
to create and edit city models and output them from
UC-win/Road.
UC-win/Road can output LOD1-2 building models and LOD1 roadand terrain models, etc., to enable the output of the basic set ofmodels in PLATEAU's Standard Operating Procedures for 3D citymodels. LOD stands for the Level of Detail. The LOD1 building
model represents an untextured model with extruded building
outlines, while the LOD2 building model is a textured building
representation. When PLATEAU's CityGML is loaded, theCityGML data can be re-exported with the same information as
the CityGML data, so that the original information can be
reproduced and output as much as possible except for the parts
that have been changed. If a building model is created as a solid
shape using Shade3D or other software, it can be output as asolid shape to CityGML data.

UC-win/Road city models

Import of Flood Navi Data
Visual simulation
The Tsunami Plug-in has been equipped with a function to
download inundation data from the Flood Navi system of the
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, enablingvisual simulations of inundation using the data on UC-win/Road.
In the zone function of UC-win/Road, specify the area to be
downloaded from the Flood Navi. Once the data has been
imported, it is possible to check water level changes over timeand visualize gradients to create a realistic representation of thewater surface by using the Tsunami Plug-in function.

CityGML output from UC-win/Road is displayed in the viewer

Improvement of Road Editing
1.Undo/RedoThe Undo function on the plane editing screen has been
improved to undo up to 10 previous operations. The Redo function to cancel the previous Undo operation has also been added.
The possible number of undo/redo operations can be changed in
the application option settings. The default is 10, but this can bechanged to suit your application and memory status. The particle
size in the Plan View screen has been improved and the functionis also available in the Vertical Curve Editor Form, Road Section
Editor, and Terrain Patch Editor.

Simulation on UC-win/Road using Flood Navi data

2.Save and Import Road Alignment
Export/Import and copy/paste functions for road alignments will
be available in the Plan View. The road cross section and roadsurface texture used in the alignment are saved along with thealignment, allowing for accurate reproduction of the road geometry
and materials. Multiple roads can be selected and saved andimported, including on-ramps and off-ramps. Copy and paste ishandled via the clipboard, making it effective when integrating
multiple project data by launching two or more UC-win/Road
applications.

LKA[Overview]
Python API has been released to support simulation developmentwith UC-win/Road. So far, data cooperation has been provided
through Delphi SDK, JavaScript, and C++ API for UC-win/Road. The
Python API enables easy and efficient data integration with UC-win/
Road.
[Function]
It provides the same functionality as the C++ API, including driving
simulator control, real-time model control, main screen camera
control and UI control such as menu and buttons.
[COM]
The Python API uses Microsoft’s COM, and since Python provides a
COM library, users can easily program using the Python API without
caring about COM programming. Also, because it is developed
in COM, it can be used not only with Python, but also with C#,
JavaScript, MATLAB, etc.
[Efficient Programming and Run]
With Delphi SDK and C++API, users create plug-ins and loadthem into UC-win/Road to run them, but with Python API, Python
scripts are executed from the ribbon menu, script screen, andscenario events in UC-win/Road, allowing the script to be executed
immediately after changing the program without restarting UC-win/
Road. It is also possible to run scripts from external applications
such as Visual Studio to work with UC-win/Road. Users can programand debug in a familiar environment. Python also has a variety ofother useful libraries that allow users to efficiently create programs tolink with UC-win/Road.

VISSIM Linkage
UC-win/Road and VISSIM can be linked even if they are installedon the different PCs. When a cluster linkage is established and themaster PC is cooperated with a VISSIM, the vehicles operated by
the multi-user client are also sent to VISSIM.

Examples of Practical Use

LKA is short for Lane Keeping Assist. In actual vehicles, LKA
detects the white line of the lane, and if the car crosses it, it sounds
an alarm or applies torque to the steering wheel to bring the carback to the center of the lane. UC-win/Road Ver.17 has a function
to represent this LKA movement. The function calculates theamount of deviation from the correct lane and computes the force
applied to the steering wheel and the amount of steering wheel
correction according to this deviation and speed. The reaction force
on the steering wheel is reflected in game controllers that support
force feedback and compatible with various driving simulator
hardware that supports torque control. In addition, it is possible
to play a pre-set warning sound when the vehicle deviates fromits lane. Assuming the linkage between this function and external
systems, it can acquire the calculation results of this function in realtime, enabling it to be used in the research and development of
HMI and traffic safety systems linked to the LKA function.

Python API

Plug-in and Option Price

3.Change Road Start/End Point
It is possible to swap the start and end points of any road in theplan view. This is useful, for example, if you have created a roadalignment and then realize that the one-way direction is reversed
and want to correct it. Previously, it was necessary to delete thealignment and add an IP point in the opposite direction. In addition,
when this function is applied to a road with roadside objects,
tunnels, or bridges, their positional relationships are preserved.
The positions of roadside objects, tunnels, bridges, etc. within thealignment are updated based on the original end points so as not tochange the appearance of the road.

limit values can be switched between scenarios and the API. It isalso possible to retrieve information about the speed limit in use.
This facilitates repeated experiments and data analysis undervarious traffic conditions.

Products Overview

In addition, exported road alignment data can be shared with several
data creators and imported as needed to improve data creation
efficiency. Each road data is assigned a unique ID, and when exported
roads are imported into the same project, the user can merge them after
choosing to keep or overwrite the original roads. The save and loadfunctions are also available on the longitudinal alignment editing screen,
for the longitudinal alignment, road cross section, and road surface
texture.

・ Assigning various different kinds of commands such as those used tochange the camera (viewpoint) position and the environment, as well as
commands used to initiate driving[Core modules of a3S multimedia cloud system]

・ a3S Protocol：Connects the core parts controlling TCP protocols, the serverand each and every client. It also controls commands, and manages thesynchronization and authorization system.
・ a3S Multimedia：Encodes and decodes the videos via the latest video compression
techniques, and enables audio streaming without occupying too much CPU.
・ a3S Data: Data management system which allows transmission of up to 4GB ofdata at one time

[Example of creating a system using a3S]・ VR-Cloud® was developed using a3S technology. This software has the ability toenable high-quality real-time images and sound, such as that of moving vehicles,
to be sent from a server running the Interactive 3D VR Simulation software UCwin/Road, to client machines so that they can share and interact with the 3D VR
environment.
・ An individual client's key strokes, mouse events, and GPS coordinates, as well as
images captured by a camera are sent to the server and they are reflected in UCwin/Road's 3D environment running on the server.

Road
Simulation

For evaluation of slope designs, such as cutting and banking of the road and small ramps, simulations from inside and outside
the vehicle with variable traveling speed are available. Using the wide range of functions available, it is possible to generatepedestrian crossings, pedestrian bridges, tunnels and bridges easily, and to visualize in detail complicated shapes, textures
drive paths and traﬃc rules of junctions, and the On/Oﬀ ramp feature allows quick creation of intricate interchanges. Traﬃc
proﬁles can then be set according to hourly traﬃc volume and vehicle type and the traﬃc simulation can be used to visualize
the congestion of roads and comparison of traﬃc condition in a road network with and without bypass projects.

Equipment Room Operating Room

The accompanying photograph shows the 8 degrees of freedom vehicle simulator which is based on a 6 degrees of freedom motion
platform plus Yaw and X tables.
This system allows the user to be immersed in an extremely realistic environment, as similar to the real world as technically possible byutilizing a 360 degree view projection system within the dome. This was made possible via the UC-win/Road cluster system (UC win/Road
is a real-time interactive 3D VR simulation & modelling software) along with the use of appropriate sound equipment and vibration devices
etc. The vehicle and truck cabin's, which can be quickly and easily exchanged if needed, are set within a dome structure, along with theadvanced management system including CCD camera, image monitor and recording system etc.
The trafﬁc simulator and vehicle motion models consist of the most advanced
system for measuring driver behaviour data, including eye-tracking etc.,
and are directly linked to UC-win/Road, which all leads
to further advances within driver safety research.

Eye tracking Systemface LAB is a product developed by Seeing
Machines Inc., a spin-off company of theAustralian National University (ANU). Thissystem measures the motion of the facebased on information from two video
cameras that automatically track the person's
face in real time. This software captures thefacial features 3 dimensionally from animage, extracts the facial features andtracks these features. When a facial featurechanges on the screen, it will keep tracking
even when the head rolls fast or when partof the image of the face on the screen is
distorted, by choosing a new feature
dynamically. The output data is; eyemovement, position of the head, rotation,tightness of the eyelid, movement of eyebrows and lips and the sizeof the pupil (pupillometer). A person’s face naturally tells you a great
deal about their mental state. By using this system we can measurea person's intentions and the degree of attention from examining theperson's countenance.

World’s First※ Large-scale 5-screen
Stereoscopic VR Driving Simulator
Used For Vehicle Dynamics andDriving Behavior Simulations*As of June 2015, no large 5-screen CAVE simulator has been known to also include a real
cockpit, hence this is currently a true "world-ﬁrst" attempt.

It is particularily optimized to take into account and to monitor
human perceptions and traits by incorporating complex mathematical models, high-luminance & high-deﬁnition visual cues,
realistic cockpit modules, and a highly responsive motion
platform. The simulator is located inside the university's
National Innovation Complex (NIC). It was ﬁrst introduced andpublicized during the June 12, 2015 opening ceremony of thecomplex.

The ﬁve 240-inch, high-luminance 3D HD 2 displays deliver a 315 degrees
ﬁeld of view, allowing the driver to feel the sense of “presence” inside thevirtual space through the combined effects of overlapping objects, the senseof depth and the sense of distance.

Motion & Motion-Control System（MOOG）
The 6-axis motion base by MOOG Inc. has
6 electrical cylinders that expand andcontract to responsively simulate a 6-DOF(degree of freedom) environment. The
cockpit seats installed above the platform
will move in various directions according
to the screen displayed.

Most existing simulators require the driver to practice and become familiar with
it ﬁrst, but this simulator can be driven as if driving a real car. This cansigniﬁcantly reduce research cost and time, potentially allowing a larger
research sample selection. These characteristics make the simulator very ideal
for many driving behaviour and human-vehicle interaction oriented researches.

Research-purpose Driving Simulator has been delivered to Kyushu University

System Solution

This driving simulation system was realized by linking the driving simulator,
traﬃc ﬂow simulator, vehicle dynamics simulator, HILS/ECU simulator, and eye
tracking system and integrating them all into UC-win/Road.
On May 13, 2012, the driving simulator was exhibited to the public for the ﬁrst
time since its delivery as one of the highlights of "Kyushu University Festival" held
on Ito campus to commemorate the university's 100th anniversary. 106 people,
many of them families, lined up to test drive the state-of-the-art simulator.
The virtual test course is a 2 minute run that starts from a point in Taihaku-doori a main street that runs across Fukuoka city - near FORUM8's Fukuoka BusinessOﬃce and ends at Hakata station. Test drivers got very excited during the courseof their drive as many of them acclaimed the driving simulator's cutting-edge
technology by giving comments like "I'm really impressed with its ability tovisualize so many aspects of the real world with high degree of realism. The
image I'm seeing on screen is very pretty."
FORUM8 delivered another research-oriented driving simulator (6DOF 5 Channel)
on March 2012 to Faculty of Engineering, Kyoto University Graduate School ofEngineering, Kyoto University.

Linkage between UC-win/Road and HILS
By extracting driver inputs (operation of accelerator,
brake, and steering) from the Driving Simulator andenvironmental conditions (height diﬀerence andfrictional coeﬃcient of road surface) from UC-win/Road
to have the vehicle dynamics system within the HILS

Full-scale real-wheeled motorcycle driving simulator package system
This is a driving simulator that can be linked to UC-win/Road VR to simulate
driving. The parts are all from real vehicle, and function of real vehicle like theengine's on and off, accelerator, brake, light can be operated. It also features
motor-controlled steering wheel reaction force generation, switching between AT
and MT vehicles, and a vehicle body tilt function.

Body tilting function
The simulator has a function to tilt the car body ±7°to the left and right,
and when driving around a curve on UC-win/Road, the steering valuechanges by tilting the car body, allowing the car to turn around the curve inthe same way as a real car (self-steering). In addition, the simulator'sinternal motor control causes the car to return to its neutral position byaccelerating from a tilted position (restoring force).

Wheelchair Simulator Case Study

Department of Mechanical Engineering,
Faculty of Systems Science and Technology, Kansai University
The UC-win/Road VR environment is used for the video display portion of awheelchair simulator, a result of research and development by Associate Professor
Kurata of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Systems Science andTechnology, Kansai University. A model of the wheelchair's speed and road surface
resistance calculated by mounting torque-sensor wheels with separate drive for bothwheels on the wheelchair simulator hardware itself is used as the wheelchair's motion
model (dynamics). UC-win/Road is used for the display portion. In addition, actual
measured data from the wheelchair simulator is loaded into UC-win/Road to verify
whether it is possible to move within the VR space. Taking into consideration the
degree of disability and the part of the body of the individual, this system will enablesafer use of the wheelchair by recognizing the ideal form of electric wheelchairs in the
future and the risk of accidents occurring when using a wheelchair.

considerations such as reproduction of trafﬁc ﬂow or changed weather
conditions, which is impossible through a physical model.
Advantage of physical model：Physical model is more intuitive way tounderstand the overview of planning including the distance and size.
Physical model allows various people to examine from the arbitrary
viewpoints at the same time, understanding the whole city model
simultaneously and touching the model directly.

FORUM8 will offer the proposal and quotation of“UC-win/Road
support system” based on the requirements of each customer. With
UC-win/Road Support system, 3D VR simulation data can be createdbased on their needs. The created VR data can be modeled byexporting VR data to the physical model using 3D printer in a shorttime with “3D physical model service” so that the physical modeledVR system can be effectively structured. Since the created data canbe produced as a 3D physical model by “3D modeling service”,
customers can create Physical Model and VR Sytstem effectively.

The trafﬁc simulation and crowd model of pedestrians can be reproduced by arranging the scenario
point in the model and highlighting the appropriate
position in the model with a laser pointer. Moreover
if combining this with the analysis results of thewind and thermal plus noise / sound simulation the
results will be simply conﬁrmed by VR. In "High-performance computing on cloud Wind Simulator", a fan

The planning can be studied by easy and intuitive operation in comparison
with VR only. In "UC-win/Road Physical Model and VR System", you canmove in the VR space and make changes in the view direction by indicating
the view points to examine with laser pointer on the model.
The system consists of model, web camera, laser pointer, VR software"UC-win/Road", and display unit to view the VR display space. As a whole,
the system consists of two functions: detecting laser pointer operation,
passing detected information to UC-win/Road and representing it in VR
space.
