Abstract:In 2008 alone, 720 individuals were killed in a
construction or maintenance work zone in the
United States. However, since 2003, the total
number of individuals killed in a construction or
maintenance work zone in the US reached a
staggering 5,771 (National Work Zone Safety
Information Clearinghouse, 2009). Through an
Immersive Virtual Learning Environment (IVLE),
this number can be reduced by offering an
environment that will allow active
experimentation with work zone safety flagging
procedures. Currently, active experimentation in
a work zone in not plausible for safety reasons,
but this IVLE will allow experimentation in a safe
and supportive learning environment. This
active experimentation will provide learners with
an opportunity to apply concepts in a realistic,
although simulated, environment.
