The Partnership Objectives Research initiatives (TRB, FHWA) Expert programming capabilities Workload capacity
The Results The creation of an effective run-time engine The ability to see our projects in real-time (interactively) Integration of traffic data into virtual reality applications
• Street Scenes
Ability to link data to virtual environments• GIS, BIM, etc…
The Future Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) Initiative Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)
Driving Innovation - A Technology Partnership

Virtual Design Methods Being Used
Hand Renders and Physical Models Photo-simulation
3D Modeling and Animation
Web/Multi-Media Development
Interactive (Virtual Reality) Simulation
Virtual Design Basics

Real-time Vs. Animation Real-time (Interactive)
Images created “on-the-fly” - computer drawing geometry and textures every
frame Similar to today’s video games
INTERACTIVE - user can navigate environment on their own
Animation Computing done ahead of time producing a video Capable of higher resolution (shadows, reflectivity, lighting effects, etc)
Animation Real-time

Why Use Virtual Design and Simulation?
Planning and Design Tool
Interference Detection (Clash Detection) Context Sensitive Design
Construction Sequencing
Traffic Simulation
Building Public Consensus
GenX grew up on VR - will expect it

Primary Objective: To support public and agency understanding of
Buffalo Harbor Bridge project and alternatives andhelping to advance the project through anEnvironmental Impact Statement (EIS) process.
Secondary Objective: To educate the public through the visualization of
actual and proposed Buffalo waterfront inner and
outer harbor redevelopment efforts.

Buffalo Harbor Bridge Project
Buffalo Harbor Bridge Project:
Directly and efficiently connect the New Downtown and the Outer Harbor Area with amulti-modal transportation facility over the Buffalo River and/or City Ship Canal

Analyzing impacts of potential bridge locationsand alternatives:
Determining extent and degree.
Effectively communicating to agencies,
stakeholders and the general public What, where, when, why, how?
Consensus building for a “community-preferred
alternative” Demonstrating and educating
The Challenges

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/echdc-3-d-simulation-presentation 16/25
The Solution
A Virtual Reality based planning and designtool 3D computer model cross linked to planning information
• GIS, Building Information Modeling (BIM), 2-D CAD, traffic, etc
Interactive Project Phase Timeline
• Isolate and present progress year to year
Real-time viewing• Infinite amount of viewpoints
• No time limit
Easy Understanding• Fully conveys impacts in basic terms that the average person can
understand.
