A Virtual Reality Safety Training System for Coal Mining Industry

Article Preview

Abstract:

The high incidence of accidents and fatalities in the coal mining industry is often attributed to ineffective training methods. To improve the training quality,virtual reality simulation has applied to improve the effectiveness of the training. This paper presents a VR-based system for coal mining safety training. System can provide the intuitive approach for studying of the safety knowledge, and provide the interactive exercises for learning self-rescue and escape in the disasters. An architecture is proposed for customize new training mission quickly. The requirements of functions in the system have been discussed. The implemented system has proved that virtual reality training has the potential to provide more meaningful and effective training to address the identified safety needs in coal mining industry.
