VR in transport

Session: 3

Room: 3270

Format: Presentation

Summary: Transport constructions are hard and costly to change. Therefore, VR helps us test the products before actual build it. Sightlines, time of day, distance of movement, accessibility, the impact of weather conditions, the impact of traffic, integrated modes of travel, customer flows, amenities, safety, and security are considered in the VR design. Minor modifications, like the relocation of one sign, might not be efficient to be updated every time. The challenges of implementing VR can be effort, cost, motion sickness, and thoughts.
