VNR VIGNANA JYOTHI INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING &TECHNOLOGY
Virtual Reality and Real Time Computing Laboratory
• About us
The Virtual Reality and Real time Computing lab (VR & RC lab) of
Computer Science and Engineering Department in VNR Vignana Jyothi Institute
of Engineering and Technology, Hyderabad was established in January
2008 with guidance by General Secretary of V N R V J I E T, Dr. D. Nageswara
Rao. The laboratory is mainly involved in the modeling and animation
of three dimensional inhabited Virtual worlds.
The centre has a wide breadth of technical knowledge and hardware resource
to tackle 3D Virtual requirements. We have a highly skilled Project
management and development team and offer specialized turnkey solutions
including Software development for simulation, real time environment
modeling with human characters and Quadrupeds.
• Driving Simulators
We design & develop complete Simulation Training Solutions &
Real-time 3D databases with the aim of delivering quality products and
services. Our mission is to provide realistic & innovative simulator
based training solutions to a variety of industries: corporate, government
- transportation, road safety institutions and driver training schools.
It offers a wide range of Driving Simulators for light vehicles with
or without Motion Platforms that are scientifically designed to train
and evaluate drivers in a safe environment.
Features:
Car Driving Simulators are Training & Evaluation Systems which are
used for imparting Basic driver training as well as Defensive driver
training to drivers. They are developed using real vehicle parts including
steering wheel, gears, brake and accelerator in order to provide a real
driving environment. The controls emulate a real vehicle with actual
driving controls including forward & reverse gears for Reverse driving
simulation. Vehicle controls are designed as plug and play and are interchangeable
to suit vehicle type and can be customized to suit any vehicle and environment.
The simulation responds to instructor controlled parameters representing
a range of weather conditions like rain, fog, day and night effects
etc. Limitations and obstructions caused on the driving route by moving
and stationary traffic, people movement, truck and animal movement are
also incorporated.
Various driving databases like City, Highway, Village and Hill based
on Indian scenario feature a full range of driving areas to effectively
teach the course requirements. Weather and daylight conditions are selectable
for additional training opportunities. All roadways, intersections,
road signs, signals and road markings have been designed as per Indian
Roads & traffic laws, thus you can be assured of a realistic driving
experience. A systematic objective evaluation report can be printed
at the end of each training session. Record and replay feature is also
available for self assessment.
These simulators provide a high degree of realism, with the ability
to create various scenarios from the Instructor Operator Station. The
design flexibility of the simulator provides the benefits of being a
cost effective method for training and testing drivers in the training
academies, driving schools and government transport organizations.
Visuals:
Computer Generated 3D scenarios, under different situations and weather
conditions, provide realistic visuals depicting what an operator would
actually see from a vehicle cabin. A Virtual Environment with roads,
shops, flyovers, vehicles, traffic lanes, people, animal, speed breakers,
and traffic lights reflects an accurate representation of city conditions,
highway conditions, etc.
Modeling:
Dynamic behavioral modeling of the driving and environmental conditions
related to vehicle dynamics and High fidelity math models correctly
simulate operations of a vehicle with full collision detection in a
3-D environment.
Audio:
The environment is made even more immersive through the use of high
fidelity audio systems that deliver stereoscopic surround sound. Audio
system combined with real life like visuals provide a wholly immersive
atmosphere to make the training module a real learning experience.
Training Options:
Simulator comes with stock of driving scenarios and options to customize
specific client requirements. This gives clients flexibility to provide
basic, to intermediate and expert levels of training.
Instructor Station:
The instructor can be provided with a separate view that enables him
to see the driver performance and control, record and replay exercises.
Vehicle parameters, route and environment settings, city and highway
roads, obstacles, and traffic density settings can all be configured
in various permutations and combinations to achieve a vast multitude
of exercises for the enhanced training of the operators.
Training Objectives: Simulator has been designed to meet the following
training objectives:
1. Operational level training in all essential aspects of vehicle
operation.
2. Provide a platform for training as per local laws and conditions.
3. Following Road signs and signals as per laws of the land.
4. Emphasis on Driver Safety and reduction of Accident Risk and cost.
5. Familiarization with the actual controls of the car and training
under different environmental and terrain conditions, e.g. - rain,
fog, uphill, downhill, etc.
6. Reduced overall training time as there is faster assimilation of
new drivers due to “almost life like” non destructive
training on simulator.
7. Ability to practice hazardous or life-threatening scenarios repetitively
that would be dangerous and impractical to practice ‘live’.
8. Provide a mean for objective performance evaluation of the trainee.
We develop a variety of vehicle Simulators like:
1. AX_9000 - Real Car simulator (With 3D motion)
 AX_9000 is an Interactive training
simulator designed to teach, assess, and reinforce positive driving
habits for all types of light vehicle drivers. AX_9000 is an affordable
& fully interactive driving training simulator, which reduces
training time and costs substantially. AX_9000 is successfully used
for training and evaluating drivers in various driving schools and
road safety organizations in India.
AX_9000 Driving Simulators are unlike any other training, testing,
and development tool available today. It provides the benefit of training
and testing drivers on potentially risky on-the-road scenarios and
difficult climatic conditions like rain, fog, snow that were impossible
to be created in real life thus saving time, training cost and lives.
2. AX_9100 - Economy Car Simulator (Without 3D motion)
 The AX 9100 Car Driving Simulators provide
both money saving and environmental friendly solutions, without compromising
quality. This light weight and highly portable system uses Acceleration
and braking controls, rain, snow, fog environmental effects and also
day and night time scenarios.
The trainers can test reactions to different scenarios by interactively
changing the controls while driving in the simulator.
3. AX_9200 - Formula Car Simulator
This model is designed to offer the training in a formula car on the
Race Track. This simulator has provision for the user to participate
in racing with Virtual environment.
SPONSORED PROJECT:
We have undertaken a development project sponsored by X_Design Ventures,
Hyderabad www.xdesignventures.com which has collaboration with Autosim,
Norway www.autosim.no
A brief description of the project:
This project is aimed to develop Indian scenarios/terrains in 3-D
visual database, and run in the automotive driving simulators. The
driving training can be offered to simulate various types of motor
vehicles such as car, bike, truck, bus, and so on. Currently Formula
one race car and mini car are interfaced and integrated with the Simworld
software. The 3D Motion platform is integrated to the simulator to
create the real time driving effects. Till now 15 driving lessons
are designed for learners by using the specially created terrains
such as RACE TRACK, TANK BUND. The software team builds various scenarios
for the given terrains with special effects like audio prompts, text
prompts, and alert messages.
