Vehicular Dynamics Research & Evaluation System ‒ High-Precision Driving Simulator
This is the world s ﬁrst※1）、large-scale, 5-screen CAVE stereoscopic virtual reality (VR)driving simulator used for vehicle dynamics and driving behaviour simulations.
Though an accurate representation of visuals, motion, and vibration, this simulator is used for monitoring various factors such as vehicle
and human cognition factors, with a future aim to derive a quantitative mathematical model.
The ﬁve 240-inch, high-luminance 3D HD displays
deliver a 315 degrees ﬁeld of view, allowing the driver tofeel the sense of “presence” inside the virtual space through the
combined eﬀects of overlapping objects, the sense of depth
and the sense of distance.
Most existing simulators require the driver to practiceand become familiar with it ﬁrst, but this simulator can

Deﬁnition of a Driving Simulator

What can you do with a Driving Simulator？

■Diﬀerent events on road can be assigned to occur depending on the driving behaviour (Scenario Editor function)

Driving procedure

A simulation system loaded with 3D VR representation of roads and traﬃc ﬂows that allow a realistic, real-time portrayal of a driving environment
with little to no diﬀerence in perception compared to reality. A simulator should have highly accurate car physics models for accurate vehicular
movement simulation and various other simulated factors such as visual, audio, and tactile cues. Simulators should also have the freedom todesign set up many diﬀerent situations such as sudden jaywalkers or AI car movement controls.

A mechanical system that uses several computer-controlled serial chains to support a single platform is called a parallel manipulator. The best
known parallel manipulator is the Stewart platform formed from six linear electrical actuators that support a movable base renown for providing
the greatest power, stiﬀness, speed, and precision. The motion base can be moved in the six degrees of freedom: The three linear movements x, y,z (lateral, longitudinal and vertical), and the three rotations pitch, roll, and yaw. The Stewart platform is clean, ﬁreproof, and easy to maintain.

Modeling & Simulation in UC-win/Road

１.

3D Real time／interactive Virtual Reality softwere

UC-win/Road won the 2002 Software Product of the Year (Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry). It is an advanced real-time interactive
3D VR simulation & modeling software product that enables the user to replicate the real world in 3D Space.

■Varied Displays Options Through the Visual Options
Tool / Traﬃc Simulations
Control time, weather, lighting, and many other factors for diﬀerent
numerous simulation conditions. Users can display day and night
scenes with a range of lighting conditions by using the artiﬁcial lightfeatures. Simulate complex urban traﬃc by generating traﬃc streams
based on traﬃc volume, vehicle proﬁles, traﬃc light conﬁgurations, aswell as examine traﬃc obstructions, disasters and accidents.

■Before/After Analysis / Scripting / Manual Driving
UC-win/Road supports several driving options (vehicle speed, lane changing,height of viewpoint, viewpoint switching in 8 directions): dynamic movement ofviewpoint and walk-throughs are also possible.More advanced simulations can be
performed with manual driving and by installing a 3D cockpit and multi-monitors.

■Enhanced intersection function ‒ Roundabout and Three-Way Intersection■Digital map of Geospatial Information Authority of Japan・50m mesh (elevation) (Approval Number: 2000, #173)
・5m mesh (elevation)

Generation of roundabouts and three-way junction is now possible. Complicated ﬂatcrossing and road signs can be exported to 3DS for further editing. Models can freely
move inside the intersection.

■Geographical features of the world
Forum 8 is granted the right to use the "CGIAR-CSI SRTM 90m
Database" for making geographical data of the entire world. The
terrain data of China and Australia are pre-installed in
UC-win/Road.

Main Simulation Features of UC-win/Road
Traﬃc Simulation Function

Grouped Pedestrian Movement

Log Plugin

Various traﬃc simulation features have beenenhanced: grouped vehicles, individualassignment of route probability for each group,
maximum number of cars at a congested
intersection, generation / deletion point of traﬃc.
The Context feature has rich and varied options
for diﬀerent environmental settings, and can be
executed with a simple íïõóå ãìéãë®

By placing ﬂight paths (pathways) inside the 3D space,large-scale pedestrian movement can be set up:
・Setting starting / destination points, and average
number of pedestrians.
・Addition of route variations, such as train station,
staircase, or escalators
・Supports linked connections such as elevators,
and waiting rooms
・Supports multiple pedestrian proﬁle assignments
and the pathﬁnding features for the shortest route.

This plugin saves and exports factors such as thecoordinates, direction, steering angles, traﬃc ﬂow
condition, and character details into a CSV format
for evaluation. UDP export is also supported,
allowing users to retrieve log data in real timethrough networks.

Scenario Plugin
This feature supports detailed control of model
movements at a particular time, such as “traﬃclight turns red” or “abrupt car movements”, tosimulate many diﬀerent real-world situations.
・Dynamic changes of speed, lane, and lane-keep
oﬀsets with respect to surrounding vehicles. For
the car driven by the user, automatic cruise
control can be set up.
・Lead car behaviour can be freely assigned tosimulate reckless lane changes and zig-zagging
maneuvers.

Replay Option
This features records vehicle and pedestrian
movements at a possible frequency of more than
10 times per second for review or replay. Can becoordinated with Scenario Plugin to record andreplay the start and end timing of an event.

Vehicle dynamics CarMaker／CRUISE

CarMaker provides a wide range of seamless options for testing inside a virtual environment and supports MIL / SIL / HIL, based upon its robust
vehicle dynamics models. This greatly assists in solving or evaluating various emerging traﬃc or vehicle designs problems and considerations,such as ITS active safety systems, driver comfort, and fuel economy.

■CarMaker
・A simulation platform to test the concepts, models and control
systems of vehicles. It also has the capability of performing
virtual driving through its powerful event-based simulation
features and detailed vehicle controls.
・Intelligent self-learning driver models
・Faster than real-time analysis speed for large vehicles such astrucks and trailers.
・Real-time simulation of the vehicle dynamics with embedded
control systems - Embedded control of Matlab / Simulink
models.

Aimsum - Real-time traﬃc ﬂow simulator

Aimsun is a general microscopic traﬃc ﬂow simulator. This supports to input both of OD tables and branch fraction and in case of OD model, it
allows you to have a simulation in which the routes including new bypass and traﬃc controls need to be selected even there is no precondition.
Selecting the dynamics routes enables you to consider about ITS. Also API helps users to do their own features expansion. This system simulate thereal-time road traﬃc environment.

O-D matrices or traﬃc states.
■Pedestrians and bicycles can be represented.
■City with diﬀerent modes of traﬃc mingling
together can be put under consideration.
