AReViRoad: a virtual reality tool for traffic simulation

Abstract

In this article we introduce AReViRoad, a virtual reality tool: a traffic road simulator that enables one to determine the impact of the road network on traffic fluidity. The traffic generation is based on a multi-agent system in which each vehicle (an entity) is a software agent with its own behavior (autonomous). This solution offers a credible traffic road that will be used for testing a road network. With a set of given tools one can create one's own road network. Thereafter, one can configure one's own simulation (number of vehicles, tested road network, flow of car generators) and then launch, observe and analyse it with dedicated tools, such as a 3D view, flow meter and timer.

“…Systems proposing a diagnostic component only rarely provide a mechanism for instructive assistance. Hal seems to us to be the most successful 1 Reification is a process through which concepts are explicitly represented by semantic representation (classes) to conceptual manipulation of these systems. However, the instructor must still make a list of the possible errors and specify the educational strategies for each exercise.…”
