“…Virtual environments have also been shown to be useful in marine education. Xiuwen et al have developed a multi-layered web-based marine training environment to improve marine training and education [28]. Abacioglu et al have developed an interactive system to teach medicine which models predefined medical processes [29].…”

The collaborative virtual city environment provides practice to perform informal unstructured, collaborative, constructivist learning instead of instructing individuals on a formal, structured, and programmed based environment. A collaborative virtual city environment has been created using vizard software that can be used by new drivers to help them learn about traffic laws and traffic safety in a safe controlled environment. Pilot studies have been conducted with the system showing its partial success and demonstrate that collaborative learning approach we propose can succeed with smaller group sizes. A significant number of participants followed the traffic rules. Overall 24% participants did not follow any traffic rule. Interestingly the majority of users who did not follow the traffic rules were novice users. Also, there was no marked difference noted for following the traffic rules between participants using the non-immersive and immersive environment. Subjective responses indicated that the Collaborative virtual environment was realistic and engaging. This environment will allow users to prepare for driving exams and we hope that it could possibly become an alternative, supplement, or replacement for the traditional driver's handbook. Index Terms-Collaborative virtual environment, virtual worlds training simulations, driving simulator, transportation visualization, driver behavior, driver training  This paper proposes an immersive multiuser environment for teaching traffic safety and driving skills in a virtual city. We hope that users of the application will be able to gain skills and knowledge in the virtual environment that they can apply to the real world due to the sense of presence and realism a virtual environment provides. Our contribution lies in our approach to combine computer simulated agents and user controlled autonomous agents in a collaborative virtual environment to teach traffic safety and driving skills in a virtual city. A collaborative 3D virtual city environment has been created that can be used by new drivers to help them learn about traffic laws and traffic safety in a safe controlled 84

“…The paper [3] also proposes a marine simulator through a virtual reality technology based on low-cost and easy-to-maintain Desktop Marine Teaching systems. The same paper gives the results of combining FMMS (Full Mission Marine Simulator), DMTS (Desktop Marine Teaching System) and WMTE (Web-based Marine Training Environment) technologies [2] in a united multi-level virtual reality system for training sailors in all maritime training activities.…”

An interactive environment is supposed to be one of the most important technologies for developing teaching systems for a deck crew. It enables modeling different interworking scenarios (excursions) among marine crafts as well as responding maritime facilities to operator performance, etc. The ship crew is possible to be taught in order to know how to act effectively in alarm or challenging situations in such an environment. A virtual polygon can also be used as a decision making support system to forecast growing threats and then choose the best behavior strategy/policy. The paper illustrates the findings of a virtual polygon development for simulating navigation safety problems with Blender environment applied for a three-dimensional graphic image representation, Delphi programming language for software support of the developed methods and a user interface design. The authors explained a layout algorithm for constructing three-dimensional offshore surface vessels. Moreover, the researchers simulated various situations in different weather effects and wind and wave perturbation in their study.
