Abstract

Simulating road accidents in a virtual reality (VR) environment and making the rescue chain experienceable is valuable because it allows users to practice their behaviour and react more confidently and effectively in an emergency. Following the Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM), we present the different steps needed for the development of the VR demonstrator. Since the links of the rescue chain (cordon off the accident scene, send an emergency call, provide first aid and hand over to the paramedics) will be simulated realistically, potential first responders can practice their behaviour and learn from their mistakes. The aim is to impart competencies sustainably and thus to save lives.
