"BIM and Simulated Driving Simulation Technology in Traffic Safety Evaluation"
Implementing traffic safety evaluation research in the highway design stage is an effective means to reduce the safety risk of highway operation. At present, a relatively mature experience has been formed for the safety evaluation of conventional road sections. However, there are still problems to be solved in the simulation driving and safety evaluation of complex environments such as interchanges, bridges, and tunnels. The report summarizes the traffic safety evaluation methods, expounds the key technologies of combining BIM and simulated driving in highway safety evaluation, analyzes the typical driving behavior indicators in safety evaluation, and finally predicts the development direction of simulated driving technology for highway traffic safety evaluation.

"Application of VR simulation in road safety research"
Improving road traffic safety is inseparable from people, vehicles and roads. As an important method for studying the safety of drivers' driving behaviors, driving simulation provides a safe, convenient and accurate simulation of the impact of drivers on road accidents. Regarding driving simulation using UC-win/Road, he will talk about how to study the impact of 'human-vehicle-road-weather' on the driving risk and to identify the main factor of driving risk in bad weather conditions. This will provide valuable advice to relevant authorities on road safety measures and improved road design.
