Japanese university to use FORUM8’s stereoscopic driving simulator

Forum8 has built and delivered what is said to be the world’s first five-screen 3D stereoscopic VR driving simulator for vehicle dynamics research and development, to Nagoya University in Japan. This simulator incorporates elements such as driving simulation, traffic micro-simulation and vehicle dynamics/performance, by building on the interactive nature of Forum8’s 3D VR software VR-Design Studio.

848 Forum8 has built and delivered what is said to be the world’s first five-screen 3D stereoscopic VR driving simulator for vehicle dynamics research and development, to Nagoya University in Japan.

This simulator incorporates elements such as driving simulation, traffic micro-simulation and vehicle dynamics/performance, by building on the interactive nature of Forum8’s 3D VR software VR-Design Studio.

It is able to monitor and record a range of human factors (perceptions and traits) through the use of mathematical models in conjunction with high-luminance and high-definition visual cues, realistic cockpit modules and a responsive motion platform.

    Developments in software visualisation packages
    Adrian Greeman looks at developments in software visualisation packages. The capacity to make visualisations has been growing in importance over the last decade, and is now a well-accepted part of consultations and client presentations. But making high-quality images of projects is still a major undertaking and larger consultancies employ specialist departments to do so. Costs are coming down but it can still take a while, and some high-capacity hardware, to produce realistic renderings from drawings and 3D

    Jaguar uses PTV microsimulation tool for C/AV concepts
    Jaguar Land Rover is using PTV’s Vissim, a multi-modal microsimulation tool to simulate and test connected and automated vehicle (C/AV) concepts. Vissim can be used for the modelling of multi-modal urban or motorway networks and for testing the design and feasibility of transport infrastructure projects. It can also be used by researchers, vehicle manufacturers, transport planners, traffic engineers and public authorities to help design future transport systems, testing the impact of C/AVs on road network
