The book explores applications of Virtual Reality (VR) technology in various aspects of tunnel projects. It highlights the potential benefits and challenges of using VR in tunnel engineering, providing valuable insights for professionals, researchers, and students in the field. By harnessing the power of VR, tunnel projects can be revolutionized, leading to improved visualization, simulation, and training capabilities.
The book is divided into 3 parts. Part A focuses on the integration of VR technology in the design and construction phases of tunnel engineering. It explores topics such as VR technology in tunnel excavation, utilizing VR for structure design, VR applications in construction and Building Information Modeling (BIM), installation of facilities, optimization methods for tunnel cross-sections. Readers will gain a deep understanding of how VR can enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and coordination of design and construction processes. The second part discusses the energy and environmental aspects of tunnel engineering. It covers topics such as tunnel lighting on driving performance and energy saving, traffic energy consumption models, and optimizing ventilation systems in a VR environment. Readers will discover how VR can contribute to energy-efficient tunnel designs and improved environmental sustainability. Safety and management are crucial aspects of tunnel projects, and the last section explores how VR can enhance these areas. It discusses the creation of VR models based on tunnel inspection vehicles, VR studies of safe evacuation, and human-space interaction and comfort in VR environments. By leveraging VR technology, professionals can improve safety protocols, optimize maintenance procedures, and enhance user experience within tunnel projects.

About the Author
Yuxin Zhang is a Research Assistant Professor at Dept of Building Environment and Energy Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and leads the smart evacuation and underground space engineering group. She obtained a bachelor and doctoral degree majoring in tunnelling and underground space engineering at Tongji University. She has conducted various multi-scale field experiments and VR experiments to study human behavior and applied data analysis and modelling to optimize evacuation plans in tunnels and subway stations. She has published over 40 academic papers in journals and conferences including Nature Cities and presented at several distinguished conferences. She also serves as editorial members, guest editors and reviewers for several top academic journals. In addition, she has been actively advancing the translation of research into real-world applications, with a strong portfolio of patents, and received the Geneva Invention Gold Medal of the Jury (2025) and CES Best of Innovation (2026).
Yi Rui is a Professor at Tongji University. He received a PhD from University of Cambridge, MSc and BEng from Tongji University. Before joining Tongji, Prof. Rui was a lecturer at Aberdeen University, UK. His research background is broad, encompassing several hot research topics in geotechnical engineering: (i) Energy geo-structures; (ii) Offshore geotechnical engineering; (iii) Intelligent structural health monitoring. Prof. Rui has published over 80 journal papers. He is an Editorial member of Underground Space and a Guest Editor of Fractal and Fractional. He has also been honored with the Science and Technology Progress Award from the Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics and Engineering and the Shanghai Science and Technology Progress Award.

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
