Abstract

A developed by authors application for real-time visualization of augmented and virtual reality is considered, which enables to simulate the traffic accidents on a mobile platform with the Android operating system. The application is developed on the basis of the Unity 3D and is able to visualize various types of road accidents and also link them to a terrain, different conditions of the urban environment, and map of the accident statistics. The system has an archive of videos for the accident 3D-scenes. The application interface and implementation features are considered. The subsystems of virtual and augmented reality are described in detail with examples. This application may be used to train novice drivers, learn the rules of the road, and inform experienced drivers about new road junctions. In the system environment, the distribution of the number of traffic violations depending on the driving experience for three groups (no experience, less than 3 years, more than 3 years) was investigated. The study of the usefulness of the system on the Likert scale on 80 cadets of driving schools is presented.

Highlights

  • Annually more than 1 million people over the world die in road traffic accidents and about 50 million people are injured

  • In 2019, 164358 road accidents were registered in the Russian Federation, as a result of which 16981 people died and 210877 were injured

  • It is clear that more than three quarters of all accidents are associated with violations of traffic rules

Summary

Introduction

Annually more than 1 million people over the world die in road traffic accidents and about 50 million people are injured. In 2019, 164358 road accidents were registered in the Russian Federation, as a result of which 16981 people died and 210877 were injured. In this case, the number of accidents committed due to traffic violations, has 146688, which killed 14420 people. Weijermars in four jurisdictions - Western Australia, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland showed that the human factor is especially important - a correct assessment of the traffic situation [1]. Noted that though “the past decades, road safety in highly-motorized countries has made significant progress”, the four cases (Western Australia, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland) show that the fully evidence-driven road-safety management is too complicated at the moment. The authors of Nobuyuki Uchida, Maki Kawakoshi, Takashi Tagawa and Tsutogo Mochid especially noted incidents at intersections [2]
