The use of virtual reality technology in training transport industry specialists

Abstract

The issue is relevant under consideration i due to the rapid development of virtual and augmented reality technologies (VR, AR), their active use in education and all engineering and technology areas which requires the development of competencies additional to those already existing in federal standards, which expand knowledge, skills and abilities of students by immersing them in the virtual reality mode. The results of the analysis of information on the use of virtual and augmented reality technologies in the educational process can be used in the development of VR / AR simulators for training transport industry specialists. The study developed a lesson based on the VR technology for logistics and transport management students and a lesson flow chart and modelled a scenario for VR space using 3D models and visualization. The study showed that it is necessary to use VR-technologies in training transport industry specialists to improve knowledge and skills in mastering disciplines related to the transport industry.
