Road to Zero is a world first road safety education complex that has been developed by the Victorian Government’s ‘Transport Accident Commission’ (TAC) in partnership with the Melbourne Museum.
Road to Zero draws upon decades of TAC research and pedagogical practice, and is co-created with practicing teachers. Part of the Victorian Government’s “Towards Zero” vision, it aims to reduce road trauma in pre-learner drivers by building knowledge and awareness that will empower young road users to make safe decisions.
An education visit to Road to Zero comprises of two experiences: an immersive and exploratory gallery showcasing the latest in multi-sensory interactive technologies, and curriculum-linked programs in the purpose-built Learning Studios.
The Create Space Science touch screen and VR app component of Road To Zero is a permanent installation designed to educate high school students about vehicle speed, the effect it has on stopping distance and ultimately road safety. To achieve this students are given a front seat view in a Virtual reality experiment designed to teach them about stopping distances and the effect that speed has of this.
