摘要：Applying the visual simulation technology to highway engineering, an expressway visual simulation system for the analysis of landscape design proposals is built during the construction of Xiaoxiang expressway. Its functional requirements and overall architecture are presented. The 3D model of expressway is created with AutoCAD DWG files as source data and the dynamic design method of expressway landscape elements is introduced. A data analysis interface dedicated to the landscape evaluation is developed. The system offers an effective tool to facilitate the analysis and evaluation of the road landscape proposals.
