Nord University has been appointed by The Norwegian Public Road Administration (Statens Vegvesen) to develop a study that investigates the possibility of using VR technology inside driving education. A feasibility study will be performed, with the specific focus on practicing traffic situations using VR solutions. The objective is to assess and justify whether VR technology can be adapted and used also in driver training.
In addition to an extended and detailed literature review, the research group has designed a survey in order to investigate the opinions of driving instructors, learner drivers and public in Norway. The survey is available at the link
https://nettskjema.no/a/127419 and is open for everyone who wish to participate.
Finally, some practical use scenarios are developed and suggested, in order to set the stage for a further experimentation directly on the field.
