• Visualised the working environment of Freeway Traffic around a Suspension Bridge aka “Bascule Bridge” using OpenGL. • It works with counterweights that balance the span and upward swing provides clearance for boat traffic. • Here, we have created a scene consisting of the Bascule Bridge which operates to allow a Boat to pass under it and an Aeroplane to pass over it while a Bus waits for the leaf of the Bridge to swing back into its original position and then passes along the Bridge after the Boat and Aeroplane have sailed across. • Thus, all the 3 modes of traffic-Air, Water, and Road are handled. • All the components have been clearly demarcated to cater even to a novice user. • An extensive user interface system is provided through a popup menu with all the toggles attached to the right mouse button. • We have even provided a keyboard interface to start, stop motion, and exit the window. • The overall methodology depends heavily on the underlying sciences of geometry, optics, and physics.
