Abstract: Simulation-based education is a critical component of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) education. This study discusses the experimental success of using Virtual Reality (VR) technology in simulation-based ITS education, which was found to improve the quality of education while increasing immersion and motivation. The study documents the application of VR technology to a microscopic simulation model within the ITS curriculum. Furthermore, the study also proposes using a standardized methodology to capture and evaluate students’ subjective experiences. The findings of the study are discussed, along with potential ways to improve the planned VR technology implementation in the ITS laboratory.
