  Traffic Analysis VR Service 
 Traffic analysis service by a traffic simulator and VR model creation service

                        |  | Traffic Analysis VR Service is a service that utilizes traffic analysis tool such as traffic simulation model for its analysis and creates VR model fit for the traffic simulation model in UC-win/Road. 
 Concept
 By integrating traffic simulation with the whole 3D visual interactive
                        simulation within 3D virtual environment, various applications of the software
                        that was somewhat challenging become feasible. This service will guide
                        you through the entire process of traffic analysis and simulation.
 
 Traffic Simulator
 Traffic simulators that are used for the analysis are the 3 listed below.
                        Aimsun creates VR model fit for the simulator, imports traffic behavior
                        as calculation result and reproduces the traffic in VR space.

  VR City Modeling System 
 Interactive city modeling, a popularized city modeling method that incorporates VR
 |  
                  | 
                    
                      
                        |  | Facilitator : Hiroo Kasagi (Representative of NPO Chiikizukuri Kobo and
Japan Society for Impact Assessment) 
 We will propose VR City Modeling System as part of the consulting service
                        within the municipality solution.
 
 Case study : Modeling a safe and secure city
 In this case study, the vicinity of Nakameguro station where office buildings,
                        shopping streets, and residential area coexist are visualized to evaluate
                        its safety. In the first stage of the project, town watching was conducted
                        and based on the observations, a map of the area was created. In stage
                        two, we have visualized the map including its information on 3D VR space
                        and held a workshop for residents and those affected by the safety issue
                        of the town to explain the usage. For example, a junction that is considered
                        dangerous can have its safety evaluated by reproducing actual traffic volume
                        on VR space and running traffic simulation. Moreover, places that give
                        residents the creeps at night can have their safety evaluated by changing
                        the time of their virtual counterpart from day to night.
 Furthermore, by incorporating administrative information such as a hazard
                        map to the VR city model, even potential risks that you usually are not
                        aware of such as the risk of flood due to severe rainfall can be visualized
                        for risk assessment in order to make residents understand the risks and
                        come up with measures.
 By doing analog work (workshop) on digital processing (VR), we were able
                        to design the whole process of obtaining stakeholder consensus in a very
                        intuitive and effective way. In this case study, facilitator who specializes
                        in this kind of workshop and FORUM8, a softwarehouse that specializes in
                        3D VR technology, teamed up to manage and run this really effective process
                        of city modeling and consensus building

                  As of exposed points of rebar, it is possible to express by modeling and
                  arrangement of rebar one by one separately. Reinforcement of arrangement
                  and duplication can be reproduced based on the existing drawings. It is possible not only to express the color of building frame, rebar,
                  and aggregate by being close to the actual color, but to show exaggerated
                  colors on 3D model. Moreover, in case the structure exists underwater,
 by creating the model and changing the transmission rate, the expression
                  of transparent water is possible. By this application, it is possible to
                  express the underwater model as well.

                  | We are introducing the sample cases performing the modeling of distributing
                  reservoir used Allplan Engineering which has the strong rebar arrangement
                  tool for RC structure. Advantage for BIM model of 3D Modeling of this sample
                  was performed after analyzing the handwritten old drawing. Once the drawing
                  was converted from 2D to 3D, everyone would be able to understand a complicated
                  bar arrangement situation intuitively by displaying walk through animation
                  and VR like this sample. Practical use of BIM in the management and the future repair phase such
                  as reinforcement of concrete and rebar degraded in aging, and reinforcement
                  based on visualized rebar arrangement by creating 3 D model having attribute.,
                  For example, it is also possible to express a damage condition based on
                  an investigation report. Moreover, structural analysis is conducted by
                  the model created through another modeling processes as well.

 It's the service which outputs various 3D models, the real "model"
            by 3D printer, output by UC-1 series, Allplan, and of course UC-win/Road, UC-win/FRAME(3D) and so on.
 Top- of- the- line Zprinter650 of Z corporation is used, and it outputs
                        3d model of full- color by ink-jet. Design range is Horizontal 254mm x
                        Height 381mm x Depth 203mm in industry's largest class. Dividing and outputting
                        the model at the appropriate position make it possible to create even if
                        the model is larger than this design range. The design time is several
                        minutes for small model and a few hours to ten hours for big models. Zprinter650
                        can read a lot of 3D data such as the file of STL, VRML, PLY, 3DS, ZPR.
