• 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.
