BUILDING HIGHWAY SYSTEMS WITH COMPUTER GRAPHIC SIMULATIONS

THERE IS A GROWING NEED FOR COMPUTER-GENERATED SIMULATIONS FOR DESIGNING BETTER HIGHWAY SYSTEMS, AND THE NECESSARY EXPERIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY ARE AVAILABLE. EXAMPLES, DEVELOPED IN FRANCE, SHOW COMPUTER-GENERATED PERSPECTIVE DRAWINGS SIMULATING SEVERAL ACTUAL HIGHWAY DESIGN SITUATIONS. THE DEVELOPMENT OF NETWORK-SUPPORTED INTELLIGENT INTERACTIVE GRAPHIC TERMINALS IS ENCOURAGED. COMPUTER SIMULATIONS HAVE BEEN PROPOSED TO EVALUATE ALTERNATE COMMERCIAL SIGN-POSTING SITUATIONS IN THE STATE OF OREGON. TWO TECHNIQUES FOR PRODUCING COLOR AND LANDSCAPE ENHANCED PERSPECTIVES ARE AVAILABLE, AND ELECTRONIC MICROFILM RECORDERS OFFER PROMISE AS A MEANS OF PRODUCING SIMULATIONS.
