The primary objective of this work was to produce a simulated 4D Drive-through of a portion of highway (I-280 through Newark, NJ) for which proposed signing for the Performing Arts Center, Penn Station and other traffic generators in the City of Newark had to be reviewed. In addition to reproducing the existing road in a 3D model, a plant for an exit ramp connecting I-280 to Route 21 in Newark, NJ was also constructed in the 3D model. Using a simulated 4D drive-through, reviewers from NJDOT Traffic Engineering and a public task force were able to see the signing from the point of view from a driver traveling along the roadway at normal traffic speeds. The drive-through visualization was used to help identify potential problems regarding excessive density of signing and inadequate sight distances for signing prior to physical installation of the signs. The 3D geometrical model of the roadway, shoulders, signs, intersecting bridge structures, and other objects of significance were constructed based on available data such as GPS and video log information.
