“…The authors have been actively developing and using educational games to teach transportation engineering . We identified five areas in transportation engineering education to be gamified (i.e., traffic planning, traffic signal control, traffic safety, highway design, and pavement design) and developed the web‐games for each area.…”

This paper presents the gamification of transportation engineering education. We identified what the authors deemed to be the key hard concepts in the taught course and designed five web‐games targeting five areas within transportation engineering. The developed games were tested with undergraduate students. The results show that the games can enhance the students’ understanding of the hard concepts.

“…These games target concepts in pavement design, highway design, traffic safety, traffic control, and traffic planning. Wang et al developed the first game (DZ-Man) in this suite in 2014 [3] . A gravity model was proposed at the same time to describe the knowledge delivering dynamics and can be used to model the engagement of the students in such educational games [4] .…”
