Virtual Laboratory System for Road Engineering

摘要

Virtual laboratory system played an important role in improving the traditional experimental education. The system for road engineering created virtual environment to simulate physical labs by using virtual reality and multimedia technology. Its design and implementation were described in the paper. The system design mainly focused on the framework structure, function division and results assessment method. It was showed that the framework took database as core and run over network. Besides, function management was divided into two, which were responsible for the experiment and system, respectively. Moreover, three methods were raised to assess experimental results. As for the implementation, after comparing the common used software, Flash was chosen for development. The system consists of virtual programs and websites is successfully established. It indicates that the system will increase the quality of test training.
