ITECH5500 Impact of VR on Public Transport In Developed Countries

Proposal

In the modern era, virtual reality has been expanding its roots in different industries which brings a simulated experience of a scenario. Virtual reality replaces the field of the vision of an individual as it triggers the senses and perception system resulting in a computer-generated virtual environment. Currently, there is a heavy influence of VR in training for different skills and jobs, research visualization, architectural design, safety drills, medical procedure, etc. However, with this uprise in technology public transportation is not effectively influenced. This research will explore the possible impacts of virtual reality on public transport in developed countries where the VR can help explore different scenarios in training drivers and individuals about the safety and security, seat selection, research can be greatly influenced by adding VR to the mix, manufacturing can also be influenced by developing efficient vehicles, different models can be created for the pedestrian flow with a mix of different characteristics and most importantly the traffic flows options can be explored with the help of VR as the constant expansion requires effective traffic management system. In search of an effective public transportation system, VR gives an advantage of a cost-effective and safe test run for any experiment.
