Building a Metaverse for Transportation Systems: A Brief Review and Demonstration

Abstract

The prospective applications of extended reality and the digital twin have previously been reviewed for transportation systems. With the current interest in the metaverse, it is necessary to examine ways in which it can help improve transportation systems. Thus, this study provides a brief review of these previous reviews and discusses the potential impact of the metaverse on transportation systems. This study also examines three prospective solutions including; parking spot detection, parking assistance, and lane detection. It also examines two current case studies that employ the metaverse and its technologies for transportation systems, including Hyundai Motorstudio and WayRay’s Holograktor
