APPLICATIONS OF VR SYSTEMS FOR ROAD AND TRAFFIC SAFETY

Virtual reality (VR) is the continuing standard in testing solutions for safety and other needs related to road and traffic planning. This is because of the cost effective nature and the ability to create an effective testing environment without compromising participant safety. This paper describes the components of a real-time VR simulation system, including: a software program for visualization, a comprehensive hardware system that can reproduce both the feeling and behaviors of a vehicle, and the force control loading system that links the driver and their actions to the hardware and software. Case studies from Meijo University, Japan's National Agency for Automotive Safety & Victim's Aid, and Kinki Regional Development Bureau will be presented, highlighting their diverse applications of VR systems for traffic and road safety.
