Design support system for hospital transportation raceway track using cyberspace

Abstract

This paper shows the support system for redesigning of the high-speed transport system in the hospital, which actually exists in the hospital. The design of the transport system depends on the building design of the hospital. The design of the transportation system is modified frequently when it is designing. The reasons are the oversight of the draft or the collision with the railway and the building, and so on. Furthermore, it is to secure the safety of the transport system. So, the design support system, which can be modified intuitively in real time, is expected. In this research, we propose a system using virtual reality, which could change the railway of the transport system easily and dynamically. This system contains the following works. The addition, change and elimination of the railway track are provided by the transport system in the virtual space, and the redesigning of the transport system can be modified in real time. This system also simulates a transport car in the virtual space and analyzes the condition of the transport car and the whole conditions of the system.
