MSAA Kiosk Manual


The Federal Highway Administration is using innovative technology to communicate to the public. A computer-based, interactive touchscreen kiosk is one such effort that focuses on safety issues. By using a full complement of multimedia such as digital video and 3-D animation, important safety issues can be brought to the attention of the public in a way that is more engaging than traditional publications or videotapes.

Users can interact with and experience various aspects of highway safety, as well as test their understanding of these topics. By reaching highway users in this new way, FHWA hopes to provide important safety information so that it is not only fun, but memorable.




The kiosk consists of three separate modules:

Road Trip:
A virtual journey where users encounter four different situations where they must make decisions about highway safety.





Road Challenge:
A fast-paced game where users must answer questions about highway safety in order to earn safety miles.







Safety Stops:
A database of facts where users can discover more about topics such as Sharing the Road with Others and The Future of Highway Safety.
