For evaluation of slope works such as cutting and banking of the terrain, and small ramps, simulations of internal/external landscapes depending on the traveling speed are available. With plentiful road options, horizontal crossings as well as overhead crossings, tunnels, and bridges can be generated easily, offering visual definition of complicated crossing shapes, textures, running routes, and traffic control. The On/Off ramp definition feature allows quick creation of intricate interchanges. Profiles can be set by hourly traffic volume and by car type for traffic jam simulations and traffic volume comparison simulations in planning bypass routes.

 

Dynamic 3-D VR is also effective when selecting bridge styles using bridge models. For understructures, the structures used in the design programs of RD substructure design calculation and UC-1 design series can be loaded in 3DS format. The 3-D model texture-editing feature is useful when selecting models or their coloring. Also, shades of structures can be projected based on the season or time of day, allowing evaluation of the effect in 3-D. Flight simulation with predefined routes is helpful when evaluating landscape for running/ walking simulations and for landmark structures.

 

For improvement and modification plans of rivers, the river command offers realistic textures. Vessels and boats can be put in motion as MovingObject at a predefined speed. Also, aerial pictures and spatial infrastructure data can be utilized for river definition or landscape evaluation.
For evaluation of buildings and outward appearances of apartment buildings, a presentation of large-scale VR spaces is effective. There are also useful features for assessing views from each floor or determining the amount of sunshine.

 

Proposal for disaster prevention Proposal for tourism
The 3-D disaster representation of UC-win/Road can be utilized in presentations for disaster prevention. It can be used for "flood" simulation by the water level alternation feature and traffic simulation with road failures.
Using the virtual reality features of UC-win/Road, past and future views can easily be created. It can be used for tourist project proposals with exhibition systems and publications using VR.

 

 

For new traffic systems with rail track vehicles, including trains, this can be used in the same fashion as road simulation. This easily allows creation of comparative plans for overhead crossings, underpaths, bridgings, and so forth, offering dynamic 3-D virtual reality for redevelopment of train station neighborhoods and planning pedestrian decks.

 

For models of harbors and airports, simulation of a vast area is available with aerial pictures. Sea routes of vessels can be defined through path configuration, allowing visual expression of diverse vessels sailing. Also, by defining airplanes as flight models, take-offs and landings can be visualized. With the seacoast and undersea models, there are reflection expressions and diverse 3-D models available.

 

A wide range of tree textures and 3-D trees are useful for planting evaluation in designing parks and housing development areas, offering simulations in the four seasons in 5 or 10 years from now. The image can be visualized by walking through the whole image or switching through plans.

 

For designing parks and streets, tree planting evaluation and tree type selection are available, offering simulations in the four seasons in 5 or 10 years from now. For improvement of streets and redevelopment of train station neighborhoods, 3-D traffic streams and dynamic urban area representations with 3-D human models are useful. With the artificial light feature, which switches through daytime and nighttime, the landscape can be evaluated at day and night.

 

This offers 3-D construction scheme simulations for land creation, installation, makeshift, and so forth, enhancing possibilities in landscape evaluations of underground power lines and the removal of crossover bridges, construction simulations, and method simulations using moving models, and the Way Point feature. The 3-D models of heavy machines can be used as data with predefined actions such as moving range. The makeshift and ground 3-D models of the UC-1 series can be also utiliz-

 

The utility business classification of UC-win/Road was determined to be a new technology and registered by NETIS (New Technology Information System) managed by the Land, Infrastructure and Transportation Ministry, on March 31, 2005. UC-win/Road has numerous achievements in the Ministry's direct projects and was therefore categorized as "new technology for semi-general constructions". We will continue to propose the use of VR in public projects.
 
* NETIS: New technology information supply system has been run by the Land, Infrastructure and Transportation Ministry since 1998. It went public in 2001, and there are about 4,000 new technology entries registered now.
