Abstract :
Nowadays, traffic road simulators are often dedicated to learn technical gestures in connection with driving. Even if sometimes used to study driver behavior or reaction to a given situation, they don´t take into consideration the social dimension of driving. In this way, we propose a traffic road simulator in which learners evolve under constrains defined by a teacher: the aim is to made person learn secure behavior on road. To do so, we axis our research on pedagogical aspect instead of physical simulation aspect. Consequently, we try to create virtual drivers which in interaction generate a credible traffic road from a learner point of view. In this article, we introduce the simulator and the pedagogical choices it implies and also the manner the traffic road is generated
