Abstract:First, an assessment was conducted to evaluate the suitability of VR in replicating reality and to compare worker behaviors in real-world and virtual environments. Second, an existing VR-based traffic co- simulation platform was enhanced by incorporating realistic worker and pedestrian behavior. This improvement allows for more accurate simulations of movement, including restrictions, tasks, and random movements. The platform also enables users to modify variables to adjust worker behavior. Finally, VR-based training modules were implemented and evaluated against traditional methods to enhance worker preparedness for hazards.
