实体地形描绘系统在道路线形设计中的应用和评价

Development and Evaluation of a Tangible Terrain Representation System for Highway Route Planning

近年来,为了将虚拟空间和现实空间更好的结合,混合的、增强现实等方法的研究和发展得到了广泛的关注,尤其是实体界面的概念在这一领域引起了人们广泛的兴趣。本文介绍了一种先进的实体地形描绘系统(TTRS),并介绍了对这种系统的可用性评价。这是一种在三维尺度上识别地形实体界面的系统,它为道路线形的设计提供了一种更为有效的方法。通过选取测试者对这套系统和另一系统的可用性进行对比实验,得到TTRS在地形的描绘和道路线形设计中更为方便、有效这一结论。

In recent years,mixed or/and augmented reality,which aims to integrate virtual space with real space,has received a significant amount of attention in research and development. In particular,the concept of a tangible interface is an interesting research area in this growing field of study. This article develops and evaluates a tangible terrain representation system （TTRS）,a tangible interface that recognizes the terrain in three dimensions and provides a more efficient approach to highway route planning and design. The developed system was evaluated by comparing its usability to an alternative system using a group of participants. The article concludes that TTRS is an effective tool for terrain representation and highway route planning and design.
