Introduction

RoadViz is a visualization and conversion tool created by My3D to produce real-time 3D models from raw engineering data. In the past, My3D has built high-quality 3D road models for our customers. Now, in response to customer-driven requirements, we offer a powerful tool suite to you, allowing you to build the same high quality models using RoadViz.


Applications that can benefit from RoadViz include:
  • Design analysis
  • Public involvement
  • Driving simulation
  • Traffic analysis
Advantages over other software applications and physical models:
  • Faster production
  • Changes to design are quicker and less expensive
  • RoadViz 3D optimization
  • Full 3D navigation can be experienced by anyone using free software and browsing the web, via email, or even a CD!
RoadViz generates road models using optimized geometry such as multiple LODs for improved performance. Placement of periodic and unique features such as light posts, signs, and hyperlinks is fully supported. (Service-related) In addition to automatic viewpoints set for each road, users can add custom viewpoints and flightpath lists.

Input Data
  • Horizontal curves
  • Vertical curves
  • Super elevation data
  • Cross-section data
Primary Output Formats
  • (.wrl) VRML 97
  • (.flt) OpenFlight
