Versatile Augmented reality simulator for training in the safe use of construction machinery (VAR-TRAINER)

Obiettivo

In the EU construction is the sector most at risk of accidents. The main hazards in construction work include working at height (falls from heights are the most common cause of injuries and death), excavation work and moving loads, all of them connected in some way with the use of specific machinery and equipment. The proposed project deals with the lack of training tools and methodologies for the very wide range of tasks to be performed by construction workers. In particular, it addresses the use of and work with greatly varying specific machinery and equipment, which entails certain risk. With this regard, special attention is paid to lifting equipment (such as cranes, hoists, aerial work platforms, telescopic handlers or scaffolding elevators) and heavy works machinery (such as power shovels or retro-excavators), because any failures on their operation may cause important damage on people, works and equipment. These machines are complicated and valuable pieces of equipment, and training is critical to developing skilled operators.
The general objective of the project is to develop a real time simulator with such a versatility and user-friendliness that training in the operation (with special attention to safety aspects) of multiple models of lifting equipment, aerial work platforms and heavy works hydraulic machinery from different trademarks will be possible with just one single simulator, thus ensuring its profitability and flexibility. It will be based on the integration of mechanics, electronics, automated technologies, computer science and augmented reality.
