3D road traffic situation simulation system

The 3D traffic situation simulation system combines the multibody based mathematical model of a vehicle, the multibody mathematical model of human body, the database of vehicle and human body data and the display subsystem. Together with the model of driving surface the system can be used to simulate and analyse vehicle and its occupant behaviour under different road conditions and different driving regimes. The result obtained this way can be used to investigate safety related parameters and optimise the driver-vehicle-road system regarding to arbitrary criteria (safety, comfort, speed, etc.). The results of simulations are available as numerical data as well as animations in virtual 3D environment.
