Welcome
to the Project Web of the Simulated Railroad Framework project.
Please find further details here:
Summary
This project's intention is to deliver an open source framework for virtual (model) railroads that are based on VRML/X3D and especially on the network sensor concept of the Web3D consortium (please refer to http://www.web3d.org).
The main goals of this project are the gain of know how and the experimental implementation of the SRR Framework (Simulated Railroad Framework).
A future intention could be to migrate the base module of the SRR Framework from the application layer downwards to the Web3D Browser (we call this idea SMUOS/C3P – Simple Multiuser Online Scenes/Collaborative 3D Profile).
Therefore we outsourced the Simple Multiuser Online Scenes project (smuos.sourceforge.net) and started its Phase I (using proprietary Network Sensor(s)).
This project – the simulrr project – is developing two items of "soft"ware:
The concept SrrTrains (please refer to the Concepts' Descriptions)
The experimental SRR Framework (a
set of X3D prototypes – pls. refer to Sourceforge
Download),
which is a central item of software within the
context of the concept SrrTrains
The SRR Framework is intended mainly for the creation of what-we-call "Do-it-yourself-Multiplayer-Model-Railroads" ("the" use case). However, it may be imagined the SRR Framework could be useful for other use cases, too.
Important Note: This project has been CLOSED after it was HIBERNATING, after it had reached the main goals. We are now WAITING FOR 3rd PARTY INTEREST into the use case "Do-it-yourself-Multiplayer-Model-Railroads" to support the finalization of the SRR Framework.
Reached Goals:
A basic concept has been developed for SMUOS and for SrrTrains
Naming rules have been defined
Models and objects were implemented experimentally
Modules (static and dynamic) were implemented experimentally
Example SRR objects were implemented experimentally
A tracer was implemented experimentally
A console interface can be provided by SRR Objects
Modularity of the SRR framework
Documentation of the concept
Missed Goals:
Unbound models
Handover
Moving modules
Real multibrowser capability
Authoring support
