해상 환경에서의 화재 상황 대처 훈련을 위한 가상 현실 기반 시뮬레이션

Abstract

This paper studies an application of fire incident training in case of fire situations in ships and offshore platforms. Many incidents occur in ships or offshore platforms, and they cause the casualties and pecuniary loss, so training for incidents is essential. A training simulator offers several important advantages including cost and safety. Training simulation provides inexperienced workers or trainees with wide-ranging experience so that they can make prompt decisions and safe and organized responses in actual situations. To develop a simulator for fire incident training, it is necessary to design 3D model of offshore platform at first. It will be used in fire training simulator through UNITY engine. A visualization technique to express fire as realistic graphics to effectively achieve training goal has been especially considered and fire equipment or protective equipment is designed to create a realistic and accurate environment for the purposes of effective virtual training. This study configures scenarios that can undertake simple fire-fighting activities such as fire extinguishing and evacuation in fire situations. As a result, offshore workers and trainees can be familiar with the fire situations occurred in offshore platform in advance.
