Development of a Unity-Vissim Co-Simulation Environment with op

The University of Waterloo's Virtual Mobility Lab (VML) seeks to develop an integrated virtual reality (VR) transportation simulation environment that combines immersive, interactive visualization in Unity with microscopic traffic simulation in PTV Vissim. The primary objective is to create a shared virtual environment in which driving, cycling, and pedestrian simulator users can interact with one another and with simulated traffic in real time. The system will support research into road user behaviour, traffic safety, and interactions between different transportation modes.
