In our forum, we will discuss achievement assessment in the new Basic Inquiry-Based Study of Science and Mathematics had started in 2022.
What is your favorite vegetable?
A latest column about A9 and model trains available. The topics broad learning in museum to cleaning PC. At the same time, some topics about bing's Copilot onto the forum.
More realistic signals in future A9 updates has been expected!
For motivated game developers, we are generous about cooperating. Now our teaching aids for understanding mechanism of railway signals on arx.neorail.jp available.
New Year’s greetings.
From the viewpoint of data democratization, boosted exploratory music retrieval and explainable reference services using recommendations are important.
Have a good summer homework!
For your information, case studies for math, museology, informatics and statistics are available here.

Invite to Spatial Informatics:
Yoo-hoo! An objective point of view by ‘M243-11Y Ver.0.9’ here!
This is an evaluation framework for height maps in games. This tool calculates 9 indices across the whole of geographical features and outputs a description of the input map in natural Japanese based on these indices completely. Using the complexity of shorelines, input map will be evaluated in 5 ranks. (Both ends of them are seen as failure.) Also, the map will be determined as one of 8 types using other indices comprehensively. This tool uses a pre-trained regression model. This tool also makes an image of horizontal line as one of visualization of the map.
‘PAL8-CNV Ver.0.9’ Available
This is a converting tool for height maps in the games, called A9V5 or AExp. (Please note that the game is not our product.) This tool makes a summarized image with bright color pallet. You can download these generated images to use as a blank map in NMPC-L64. Additionally, this tool presents a histogram of pixels in each color. Now you can evaluate geographical features in your map quantitatively.
It Rings a Bell! Start with ‘XQDK-R21 Ver.0.9’ Now
This is a middleware that generates fictional company name based on Japan Zip Codes. Every time it is reloaded, 21 companies are shown at random. You're at liberty to choose, and also able to use with improvements. Try to fire your imagination, and to discover new sensations.
‘Z47T-DFK Ver.0.9’ Energize Your Fictional City!
This is a middleware that randomizes place name in Japan. Every time it is reloaded, 36 commonplace place names are shown at random. A commonplace place name is defined as a name existing in 5 or more cities. You can specify multiple target prefectures, and count up prefectures and cities that contains that place name. You will be able to evaluate randomness or ordinariness of your fictional city quantitatively. For this purpose we use the list of Japan Zip Codes. There are no reasons that you have to do an immature parody on place names.
Estimate with ‘NMPC-L64 Ver.0.9’ Now
Now we offer a GUI-based numerical planning tool for your insatiable fun with the railway sim called A9V5. (Please note that the game is not our product.) You can estimate distances and station coverages by using this tool, and also get time of driver-view movie with good accuracy. Moreover, this tool contains controlled vocabulary for spatial planning. Just by selecting and arranging these, your plan will round out surely.
New Strategy Guide ‘DATT-A9D Ver.0.9’ Available
For your fun with the railway sim called A9V4, although that is a strange and very complex game, we present a graphical and step-by-step instruction. (Please note that the game is not our product.) We expect that you will get interest in spatial planning or mathematical optimization. At least you would learn 1930s to 1990s' history of railway in Japan.
New Sound Gadget ‘HEBM-DPY Ver.0.9’ Playable for free
This is a simulator of electronic (not electric) bell modulator, called ‘電子電鈴 (den-shi-den-rei)’ in Japan. Electronic bell that don't generate sparks, because realized by using transistor or IC amplifier, has come in handy by subway and new railway lines built in 1970s. Today, the discriminability of the simple electronic sound is being reconsidered.
