Project Details
- "Through virtual reality, Traffic Control offers a unique, interactive, highly entertaining, and completely new way of understanding traffic in urban environments."
- Users navigate a very detailed model of Berlin, interactively choose their viewpoints (birds-eye, driver, bicyclist, pedestrian adult, small child) and can control traffic lights, signs, and vehicles at will. A state-of-the-art simulation kernel shows highly realistic (chaotic) and complex traffic behavior in an environment of high-quality images generated by a SGI Onyx2.
- Traffic Control is also suitable for real data input from street sensors.
