Development of A Virtual Reality Simulation System for Bicycle Riders to Improve Their Traffic Manners

Abstract

In recent years, traffic manners and traffic accidents of bicycles have become a social problem. Training by using a bicycle driving simulator is expected one of the solutions. There have been developed a few bicycle riding simulators, however, the views of their users were narrow or the flow of the traffics reproduced by the simulator was not real. In this paper, we aim to develop a realistic VR bicycle riding simulator that employs virtual reality (VR) in order to give experiences a feeling of immersion, learns the traffic manners and dangers of bicycles.
