Background of the study
Road safety is a critical public issue that directly affects community well-being and economic productivity. At Kaduna Polytechnic, Kaduna, traditional road safety education often relies on static materials and lectures that fail to fully engage students or simulate real-life scenarios. 3D simulations offer a dynamic, interactive approach to teaching road safety by recreating realistic traffic environments, accident scenarios, and safe driving practices in a virtual setting (Adeola, 2023; Ibrahim, 2024). Through 3D simulations, learners can experience the consequences of unsafe behaviors in a controlled, risk-free environment, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of the importance of road safety. These simulations can illustrate factors such as speed, reaction time, and vehicle dynamics, and allow students to experiment with different safety measures. Moreover, 3D simulations promote active learning and critical thinking, encouraging students to develop problem-solving skills that can be applied in real-world situations. Despite the potential benefits, the implementation of 3D simulations is challenged by high development costs, technical complexities, and the need for specialized equipment and software. This study aims to evaluate the impact of 3D simulations on road safety awareness at Kaduna Polytechnic, identify the technical and operational challenges, and propose optimization strategies for integrating simulation technology into the curriculum (Chinaza, 2023).
Statement of the problem
Road safety education at Kaduna Polytechnic currently suffers from inadequate engagement and a lack of practical exposure to real-world driving hazards. Traditional teaching methods do not provide the immersive, interactive experience needed to convey the dynamic nature of road safety challenges. Although 3D simulations can offer an effective alternative by creating realistic, interactive scenarios, their adoption is limited by high production costs, technical barriers, and insufficient support infrastructure. Many students may not fully benefit from the simulations due to equipment limitations and inconsistent software performance. Additionally, the absence of standardized training on simulation tools further reduces their impact. These issues result in suboptimal road safety awareness among students, which could lead to higher risks in real-life traffic situations. This study seeks to address these challenges by evaluating the effectiveness of 3D simulations in enhancing road safety awareness, identifying key technical and operational barriers, and recommending strategies to optimize the integration of simulation technology in road safety education (Ibrahim, 2024; Adeola, 2023).
Objectives of the study
• To evaluate the impact of 3D simulations on road safety awareness.
• To identify technical and operational challenges in implementing simulation tools.
• To propose optimization strategies for effective integration into road safety education.
Research questions
• How do 3D simulations improve understanding of road safety principles?
• What technical barriers hinder effective implementation of simulation technology?
• How can training and infrastructure be optimized to enhance simulation-based learning?
Significance of the study
This study is significant as it provides insights into innovative educational methods to improve road safety awareness, potentially reducing accident rates and saving lives through enhanced training at Kaduna Polytechnic (Adeola, 2023; Ibrahim, 2024).
Scope and limitations of the study
The study is confined to the use of 3D simulations in road safety education at Kaduna Polytechnic. Limitations include high development costs, technical equipment constraints, and varying levels of user proficiency.
