Designing large-scale interactive traffic animations for urban modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Designing and optimizing traffic behavior and animation is a challenging problem of interest to virtual environment content generation and to urban planning and design. While some traffic simulation methods have appeared in computer graphics, most related systems focus on the design of buildings, roads, or cities but without explicitly considering urban traffic. To our knowledge, our work provides the first interactive approach which enables a designer to specify a desired vehicular traffic behavior (e.g., road occupancy, travel time, emissions, etc.) and the system will automatically compute what realistic 3D urban model (e.g., an interconnected network of roads, parcels, and buildings) yields the specified behavior. Our system both altered and improved traffic behavior in novel procedurally-generated cities and in road networks of existing cities. Our urban models contain up to 360 km of roads, 300,000 vehicles, and typically cover four hours of simulated peak traffic time. The typical editing session time to "paint" a new traffic pattern and to compute the new/changed urban model is two to five minutes.

Interactive Modeling, Simulation and Control of Large-Scale Crowds and Traffic
We survey some of our recent work on interactive modeling, simulation, and control of large-scale crowds and traffic for urban scenes. The driving applications of our work include real-time simulation for computer games, virtual environments, and avatar-based online 3D social networks. We also present some preliminary results and proof-ofconcept demonstrations.

متن کاملA Quadratic-Programming Approach for the Signal Control Problem in Large-scale Congested Urban Road Networks
The problem of designing real-time traffic signal control strategies for large-scale congested urban road networks is considered. A generic, simple, network-wide problem formulation is presented in the format of a discrete-time optimal control problem whose numerical solution is achieved by use of quadratic-programming algorithms. Some procedures enabling the application of the proposed approac...
متن کاملIntegration of optimization by genetic algorithms into an L-system-based animation system
In Computer Graphics L-systems represent a powerful rule-based language for modeling complex objects and their animation. However, designing objects and animations by rules is a difficult task, because designers often cannot foresee the consequences of rules. This is especially true for non-experts in the domain. Therefore, we propose to enhance an L-system based animation system with evolution...
متن کاملEnvironmental noise modeling within an open source GIS
1. Introduction The work consists in designing and building up a model of noise propagation caused by vehicular traffic in urban environment. Obviously the problem has already been deeply described in literature: the new approach we have studied and developed tries to give a simple model suitable to estimate the noise values and to simulate different scenarios due to a change in the traffic pla...
