Motivation
• Children endangered group in traffic.• A major cause: unsafe roadside behavior.
– Safety education is important!
• But: Safety education ineffective without roadside training !

Motivation
• Problems of roadside training– Time and personnel
intensive, dangerous, expensive …
• Promising Solution: VR training !– Shown to be successful
– Existing systems: • Still personnel intensive.
• Strongly restricted learning environments.
