Road Instructor: Teaching traffic rules to people through gamification

Abstract

Technology has influenced the lives of everyone. It has completely changed the way people create ease for themselves by figuring out solutions for their problems. The problem lies in the fact that the knowledge of the usage of such inventions is limited to extremely few individuals, leaving majority of them behind. Automobiles, being one of the most widely used technological inventions, have heavily influenced the lives of every single individual. The most alarming fact regarding those individuals who are contributing their presence on road traffic is that most of the are unaware of most of the traffic rules. Amount of people who are actually aware of traffic rules are extremely less. Then there are those people as well who are driving since many years but their awareness of traffic rules is also limited to a few basic rules. Outcome of such blunder is a horrible traffic accident which can result into sudden deaths or even lifetime paralysis in some cases. People are extremely lazy to read long documentations of several traffic rules. As human behaviour on roads is one of the most important factors of ensuring safety, we’re developing a 3D android game on Unity Engine to overcome this issue. This is a game developed to teach traffic rules to our target audience in an interesting gamified manner. Each and every individual who doesn’t have that much background knowledge about traffic but he’s keen to learn, is our target audience. Moreover, we also have a specific segment in our game in which we would teach those specific rules which pedestrians have to follow. In this way, the likelihood of traffic accidents would be decreased up to some extent by teaching the required knowledge about traffic rules to the people.
