                  and the use of VR simulator" 
 In
order to raise
the effectiveness as the global research base related to green
mobility, it is necessary to promote research development towards
innovative technology after seeing into the utilization in the real
world. Mainly from the position of industry affairs, industry
cooperation beyond the framework of traditional research areas,
cooperation between universities, fusion research by international
cooperation, and human resources development which supports the above
factors is promoted.In this lecture, latest research contents towards
the realization of green mobility society will be introduced.

 Competitions between companies are continuously intensifying regardless of company size and industry type, for that reason, the importance of improvement activities and management reforms at the site are daily increasing. In a "manufacturing" industry, "manufacturing floor" is the crucial factor. That is because, it is the place where "quality" and "cost" are made through "human resources". Toyota Production System is a system that visualizes the problems of the "manufacturing floor" in order to perform a complete elimination of "wastes" and building "quality". In addition, this idea can revitalize a company and improve profitability through a company-wide "improvement" including management and indirect department. In this lecture, that overview will be introduced.

Measure the internal shape of the cave where the bats live by a 3D lazer scanner, and VR model the obtained point cloud data in UC-win/Road. Videotape by attaching a number of markers on the bat body and analyze the movement by the technology of motion capture. In addition, by creating an accurate 3D model of the skeleton structure by CT scan, reproducing flight routes and basic behavior mechanism of bats in VR has been successful.

The VR technology reproduced what was experienced in real life and at the same time gave an insight in the prediction of the future, and visualized the cultural and phyiscal stories made over time and space, both of which gave a positive impact on the education in humanities and social science. UC-win/Road animation which will be played during the presentation goes to show that the aforementioned is in fact true.

 In
the urbanized catchment, runoff analysis that takes into account the
status of the development/maintenance of drainage infrastructure is
indispensible, and without an approach based on 1D/2D integrated
modeling, accurate prediction of area likely to inundate is difficult.

examples that uses the latest features of xpswmm 2014 will be
