Transportation engineering, and especially of Dangerous Goods (DG), is one of the areas in which technological development is crucial. Logistic control systems, routing and scheduling algorithms, supply chain management have been applied in this aspect so as to improve the cost-effectiveness ratio and to reduce risks. Unfortunately, most of these works remain theoretical since tests on real case scenario sometimes proves difficult to achieve especially when we are dealing with Dangerous Goods Transport (DGT). In this paper, an architecture of a visual DGT simulation system has been introduced. It provides entries for testing these works and produces results close to real experiments. Applications on serious games, financial market, engineering are evidence of success of the visual simulation system. Thus, the challenge consists on how to design a system that represents real-world systems with an …
