Accession Number:

Abstract:

Educational games have been proved to be effective tools to support transportation engineering education. Virginia Tech Signal Control & Operations Research and Education System (VT- SCORES) group has been actively developing educational games for teaching transportation engineering classes. This work identified the key concepts in transportation engineering that can be gamified. Five games were developed targeting five areas in transportation (i.e., planning, signal control, safety, highway design, and pavement design). The games were evaluated and it was found that the games can improve students’ learning outcomes significantly. This paper can be used to guide developers to build new games for transportation engineering education. This paper can also be useful for transportation educators who want to implement games in their teaching practice.
