Research on the Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Technology for Locomotive Crew Driving and Emergency Skills Training
Source abstract
Abstract
With the continuous expansion of road networks and the rise in railway transportation capacity, the scale of locomotive crew needs has increased sharply. However, the current training of locomotive crews is inefficient and costly and cannot meet the needs of the industry. This project adopted virtual reality technology to develop the driving and emergency skills of harmonious electric locomotive crews. The trainees can learn the composition and structure of the locomotive, master the working principles of the locomotive and receive training in relevant emergency skills in the virtual environment. After completion of the system development, we carried out a series of research studies and experiments; the results show that the use of this system to train personnel can lead to them quickly mastering the practical training content. This new training mode can effectively solve the outstanding problems with the current training system for locomotive crews.
