Abstract:

Utilizing enhanced visualization in transportation planning and design gained popularity in the last decade. This work aimed at ; demonstrating the concept of utilizing a highly immersive, virtual reality simulation engine for creating dynamic, interactive, fullscale, ; three-dimensional (3D) models of highway infrastructure. ; For this project, the highway infrastructure element chosen was a two-way, stop-controlled intersection (TWSCI). ; VirtuTrace, a virtual reality simulation engine developed by the principal investigator, was used to construct the dynamic 3D ; model of the TWSCI. The model was implemented in C6, which is Iowa State University’s Cave Automatic Virtual Environment ; (CAVE). ; Representatives from the Institute of Transportation at Iowa State University, as well as representatives from the Iowa ; Department of Transportation, experienced the simulated TWSCI. The two teams identified verbally the significant potential that ; the approach introduces for the application of next-generation simulated environments to road design and safety evaluation.
