product Virtual Space Simulation
"WARXSS®"

In recent years, virtual space techniques such as VR and AR have evolved rapidly, delivering innovative solutions not only for entertainment but also for education and business..
WARXSS ® is a simulation tool that applies this virtual space technique to solving traffic problems.Reproducing existing cities in a 3D space, visualizing risks/measures that are not transmitted by drawings or photographs alone.Supporting smooth decision-making and consensus formation among the parties involved, we will lead various projects to the results, from traffic accident countermeasures to social implementation of automated driving.

Risks and the effectiveness of countermeasures are difficult to communicate to stakeholders using drawings or photos alone.
Comparison of draft measures stays in the "standard method" and qualitative discussion, and the objective ground cannot be shown.
It takes time to form an agreement with the police and local residents, and the plan does not proceed smoothly.

It is difficult to spatially share changes in traffic volume and human flow after redevelopment among the parties concerned.
In the inhabitant explanatory meeting based on the plan view, it is difficult to obtain the understanding from the image gap to the plan after the completion.
It tends to be insufficient to examine from multiple viewpoints such as the effect on the landscape.

The concrete image of running does not spring, and the introduction plan stagnates.
The anxiety to safety cannot be dispelled, and it is difficult to develop the understanding (social acceptability) of inhabitants and businesses.
Verification in meteorological conditions and dangerous scenes, which are difficult to reproduce in reality, takes enormous time and cost.

This is a simulator developed jointly by RYODEN and Witz to support "Discussion" and "Agreement Formation" in the transportation and urban planning field.The high-quality virtual enviroment that utilizes Unreal Engine makes it possible to verify even under conditions that are difficult to reproduce in reality.Unlike expert development simulators, this emphasis is placed on promoting understanding among the parties involved.
Unlike the costly and specialized simulators used in automotive engineering, WARXSS® specializes in sharing images and revitalizing discussions among stakeholders.

Safety verification required for automatic operation can be performed efficiently.Bad weather, nighttime, and dangerous scenes, which are difficult to reproduce in reality, can be simulated on a virtual environment and repeatedly verified.The system also supports feedback verification in cooperation with the target system, enabling comprehensive evaluation of a wide range of situations.This improves the accuracy of verification at the development site and contributes to the efficiency of the entire process.

In MaaS projects and urban planning that combine public transportation with automated driving vehicles, congestion can be predicted through cooperation with traffic flow simulators.You can also compare the layout pattern of bus stops and pedestrian crossings and simulate landscape changes.It is also possible to intuitively present the image after completion in the resident's description, and support the compatibility of convenience and safety.
By utilizing PLATEAU data together with a traffic flow simulator, it becomes possible to reproduce and analyze traffic environments that closely resemble those of real cities.

Most autonomous driving service vehicles will be introduced starting at "Level 2" (where a human driver must be ready to take control), with the ultimate goal of achieving "Level 4" (fully driverless operation). Therefore, during the transition to full autonomy, onboard operators will be required to understand the capabilities and limitations of the autonomous driving system.
WARXSS®, through its VR perspective, can be utilized as a training tool that allows operators to visualize the vehicle's operations in advance.
This enables intuitive and effective training for operators from diverse backgrounds—from new recruits with limited driving experience to veteran drivers accustomed to conventional buses—and helps establish a safe and smooth operational framework.
