This paper presents the design and development of a walking and cycling simulator which would be used for traffic accident experiments that are highly risky and difficult to perform on real tracks. The design and development phase would incorporate various degrees of freedom and depict the views in 3-dimension. The use of a motion platform would enable various motions to be relayed to the user, giving a more realistic experience and reconstruction. Furthermore, the use of a 3-dimension software – Unity 3D would create a virtual environment that allows the simulation to be carried out, providing a greater visualization and analysis. The evaluation including the results and testing of the prototype would then be discussed.
