Objectives
Virtual Reality was used for training on emergency management in a collaborative way allowing:
- Intelligent agents to stand in for some of the emergency response teams.
- The emergency response team to act in a virtual world.
- Learning of individuals, teams and organisations
The SW environment simulates the behaviour of the agents directly involved in the specific training by virtual reality. It supports:
- Preparation of emergency scenarios
- Decisions that have to be taken for all the organisations that may be linked to each scenario.
- Simulation of decision implementation
- Evaluation of the decision taken
- Evaluation of the consequences of the decision
- Feedback to the user on the decision taken
- Learning lessons concerning the whole process
Main Results
- Scientific results:
-Application of VR, intelligent agents and shared mental models to emergency training
- Material results:
-Prototype
- Applicative results
Applications for emergency training in nuclear power plants and subway transportation.
- The trainee is one of the members of the emergency team and interacts with the rest of the “virtual team” receiving and providing information or executing actions.
- The virtual team behaves “intelligently “.
- Once the simulation has been run, an analysis of the sequence of actions is performed.
