가상현실기술을 이용한 철도운행 시뮬레이터 설계

초록

Virtual reality technology has been shown many advantageous when it comes with other technology owing to the realistic visualization capability of objects even before they are manufactured or constructed. In this research, we suggested a development strategy of a simulator to analyze operation of conventional railway system by creating and simulating railway operation agents. For this purpose, we designed computer simulation models of train, station, railway, centralized traffic control(CTC) and automatic train protection(ATP) system as an agent, respectively, based on their own functions. And then we designed integrated environment to simulate railway operation in virtual world. The simulation results are designed to be displayed on fully immersive environment in real time. We expect to use the simulator developing in the research project as a tool for design and verification of scheduled railway system before it is built.
