Sanal Sürücü Simülatörü ile Acemi Sürücüler için Trafik Eğitimi

Öz

Trafikteki araç sayısı ve şehirlerdeki nüfus yoğunluğu refah seviyesindeki yükseliş ile birlikte artmaktadır. Bu durumunun yanında insanlar trafik ile ilgili yeterince bilgi sahibi değildir. Karayolları Genel Müdürlüğü’ne göre Türkiye’deki trafik kazalarının 2017 yılındaki sayısı 1.202.716’dır. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü’nün verilerine göre dünya çapındaki trafik kazalarındaki ölüm sayıları her yıl yaklaşık olarak 1.35 milyondur. Bu bilgiler göz önünde tutulduğunda trafik eğitiminin önemi ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bu amaçla, bu çalışma kapsamında teorik ve pratik olmak üzere bir trafik eğitim sistemi geliştirilmiştir. Sistemin teorik ayağında trafik, motor ve ilkyardım bilgisi olmak üzere üç konu başlıklı testler yer almaktır. Teorik aşama her kullanıcı için 10 adet test içermektedir. Sistemin diğer bir parçası ise sistemin donanımsal ayağı ve simülasyon yazılımından oluşmaktadır. Sistemin genel olarak kullanımında, bir kullanıcı ilk olarak üç konu başlığında girdiği test sınavında %70 oranında başarılı olmalıdır. Bu şartı sağladıktan sonra kullanıcı simülatör eğitimine geçebilir. Simülatör direksiyon, pedal sistemi, vites kolu, sürücü koltuğu, simülasyon ekranı ve sanal ortam yazılımlarından oluşmaktadır. Bu sistem sayesinde acemi sürücüler gerçek hayatın risklerinden uzak olarak tecrübe kazanmaları mümkün olacaktır.

Traffic Education for Inexperienced Drivers with Virtual Driving Simulator

Abstract

The numbers of vehicles in the traffic and population density have been increased with rising affluence. Besides this situation, people are not enough information about the traffic. In 2013, the number of road accidents was 1.207.354 in Turkey according to the Turkish Statistical Institute. World Health Organization’s data in 2013 says that worldwide the total number of road traffic deaths is about 1.24 million per year. Along with these motivations, we developed a system for traffic education with both theoretical and practical exercises. The theoretical part of the system includes some tests which are about traffic, engine of vehicle and first aid information. The theoretical system has 10 test questions for each user. Another part of the system is a simulator with software and hardware. Firstly, in the system, a user answers the test and he/she should be successful at least 70 percent. Then, the user can use the simulator. The simulator includes a steering wheel, a pedal system, a shift knob, a driver seat, a visual display and a virtual platform with software. With this system, inexperienced drivers will be able to acquire experience.
