Using 3D-modeling Technologies to Increase Road Safety

摘要

This article is dedicated to a technique of 3D modeling traffic network sections and gives an overview of the range of applications of such models to increase road safety. High accuracy models described herein are a detail reproduction of road traffic situations, including road infrastructure elements, surrounding buildings, vegetation and traffic participants. Autodesk software line is used as modeling tools: Maya, AutoCAD Civil 3D, Civil View for 3ds Max Design, InfraWorks 360, Bridge Design for InfraWorks, AutoCAD Map3D. Created models are integrated into the unified system which is intended to increase road safety and called the “Interactive Accident Risk Map” by its creators. This is a software system which solves the problems of collecting and analyzing information on road traffic accidents and feedback from traffic participants.
