Benefits of Road Safety Training in VR
Traditional road safety training often relies on lectures or videos, which may not fully convey real traffic risks. VR-based learning provides hands-on experience, improving both understanding and retention.
Top Benefits Include
-
Safe learning: Mistakes are risk-free
-
Better retention: Interactive scenarios improve memory
-
Situational awareness: Prepare for unexpected events
-
Data insights: Track progress and identify areas to improve
How the VR Lab Works
The Traffic Simulation VR Lab uses VR headsets and sensors to simulate lifelike traffic situations. Participants can:
-
Navigate busy intersections
-
Experience weather challenges like rain or fog
-
Understand pedestrian safety and right-of-way rules
-
Learn defensive driving techniques
