Background: The development of immersive technologies, including virtual reality, is driving new research and training tools that exploit their potential. Numerous publications demonstrate the numerous advantages of VR tools over traditional training systems. However, correctly preparing training and research scenarios, which are then implemented into the developed tool, is critical for achieving goals. Moreover, the literature lacks guidance regarding the methodology for preparing VR scenarios, particularly emergency scenarios. This paper presents the concept of designing contingency scenarios for training and research implemented in virtual reality based on risk assessment. Methods: The research used the results of a literature review conducted using an integrative approach. To develop the conceptual framework of the VR contingency scenario design method, the study also used measurements and the results of accompanying observations collected during four research projects in which training scenarios for transport workers were developed. The collected knowledge was also complemented by unstructured face-to-face interviews with representatives of companies developing VR training tools and by an analysis of industry publications. Results: Based on the analysis of the material collected, a framework for the design of emergency training scenarios for VR-based tools was developed. This framework includes identifying the different types of scenarios to be implemented (depending on the purpose of the research/training), steps for this implementation, a proposal for research methods, and the expected results. Conclusions: The framework for designing contingency scenarios has been developed to support the implementation of research and training for transport systems, but can also be applied to other sectors. The concept focuses primarily on the methodology for preparing the scenario but no longer addresses the technical feasibility of reproducing it in the real world. However, the author's project experience and publications by other authors confirm that the technological capabilities of contemporary VR tools meet the requirements of the proposed approach.
