The Development of Port Safety Training Platform Based on Virtual Reality Technology

Abstract

Safety in operation is t a top priority in port economic development. Safety training is important particularly due to the working environment of port is complicated and accidents happen frequently. Traditional safety training methods with low efficiency are mainly based on lectures or classes, and the effect is not significant, which makes it difficult for trainees to understand the safety of the port quickly. Trainees can have a more intuitive impression of the safety knowledge introduced by the training with the help of virtual reality (VR) technology. The platform for port safety training combines the traditional PDF documents, pictures and video resources with virtual reality technology and put the points of safety training into the vivid virtual scene by using virtual reality technology. Trainees can learn knowledge in the situation, and then apply the knowledge to the situation, so as to achieve the purpose of applying theory to practice. The examination system is supplemented to test the learning quality in the later stage. Finally, trainees can have a high degree of safety awareness, so as to reduce the accident rate effectively.
