Abstract
AbstractVirtual reality technology has been regarded as an useful tool owing to the visualization capability of objects even before they are manufactured or constructed. In this research, we developed a simulator for rubber-tired automated guide-way transit based on train performance simulation. Immersive driving scenery of the Korea rubber tired automated guide-way transit, called the K-AGT, was generated with 4 workstations, 3 PDPs and a head mounted display device with motion tracking system. By using the simulator, train performance characteristics of 3 urban transit systems, K-AGT, VAL208 and meglev system were analyzed to select the most appropriate system on the railway, which is scheduled to construct in Korea. The result showed that it could help a designer to have a more accurate design at an early stage of system development, and to understand their design intuitively. The simulator could help engineers who have various specialties to cooperate in distance area.
