Here's my main blog, it doesn't have more info but if you like this then give me a follow?

ODU Researchers Use 3D Technology to Plan Hurricane Evacuation Routes

"New technology is putting the city of Virginia Beach ahead of the game when it comes to transportation planning. Researchers from Old Dominion University's Center for Innovative Transportation Solutions are using real-time 3D traffic models that span the entire city.

These models are important for hurricane evacuation route planning.They can actually simulate traffic patterns that have already happened and then manipulate road conditions, like traffic lights, to see what would work best for traffic flow."

The program, which will be used to find the impact of road projects on the city's traffic network, is almost unrivaled in the country in scope and precision, developers say.

As Virginia Beach wrestles with urban planning issues for a growing, spread-out city, its leaders will have the help of a new tool developed by modeling and simulation researchers from Old Dominion University.

On Tuesday, June 11, Virginia Beach City Council was presented a completed "microscopic" model of the entire City of Virginia Beach developed by researchers from ODU's Center for Innovative Transportation Solutions (CITS).

The model is a product of a partnership between the city and CITS. Mike Robinson, director of the ODU center, said a microscopic model adds significant detail to traditional "macro" modeling, including individual traffic signal timing, right down to modeling the behavior of individual drivers.
