Abstract

This article describes a novel approach for practical child pedestrian training. Instead of exposing children to the dangers and limitations of real roadside training, this approach utilizes an intelligent, Virtual Reality (VR) based training system called SafeChild. It provides a realistic open-ended training environment in which children can practice traffic safety exercises. We describes notable features of the system, such as support for different interface setups, interchangeable environments and the use of an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS), as well as preliminary findings.
