Estrada driver - desenvolvimento de simulador virtual tridimensional como ferramenta de auxílio à educação no trânsito

Abstract

There are several problems in vehicle traffic in Brazil. It is a country with continental dimensions and 100 millions vehicles in circulation. Approximately 54 thousand deaths were registered in 2015 in traffic accidents. In addition, there was a estimated cost of R$ 19 billion to the public coffers for the same reason. Approximately 93% of traffic accidents are caused by human faults, such as speeding, cell phone use during driving and drugs effects on driving on the three most important ones, as well as disrespect to traffic signage. To curb such practices, there are provisions in traffic legislation to identify and punish offenders responsible for such accidents, as well as educational mechanisms such as media campaigns and the implementation of technological devices in the training of vehicle drivers. This work presents a virtual reality driving simulator for PC that aims to train forming drivers to become the learning of traffic laws more playful, making them aware of the importance of adopting a defensive posture in vehicle driving. In the system presented in this work, the user uses a virtual reality glasses that enables the use of smartphone as display and game controllers for interaction with the virtual environment
