Virtual Reality-Based Vehicle Inspection Training and Assessment System

The organization faces difficulties with resource-intensive and time-consuming vehicle inspection and driver testing processes. These require physical presence at dedicated testing sites, scheduling limitations for group assessments, and extensive logistical efforts, leading to increased costs and delays. Additionally, manual grading and scoring of tests pose challenges for efficient and consistent evaluation.

A large transportation or logistics company that requires efficient and scalable driver qualification and vehicle inspection assessments.

• Develop a virtual reality (VR) platform to simulate vehicle pretrip inspections for driver certification.
• Reduce logistical costs and resource requirements associated with physical testing locations.
• Enable remote testing capabilities, allowing candidates to undertake assessments from any location with VR access.
• Implement timed assessments with secure scoring and video recordings for centralized evaluation.
• Improve testing efficiency, scoring accuracy, and exam security.

• VR immersive experience supporting interaction with multiple vehicle inspection points, including identification of correct and incorrect components.
• A virtual timer integrated into the experience, displayed as a virtual watch that counts down and can be intentionally paused or ended by user interaction to avoid accidental termination.
• Multiple navigation options such as teleportation and joystick walking, ensuring users face the vehicle appropriately during the test.
• Secure, password-protected storage of test results and video recordings accessible only to authorized personnel.
• Customizable inspection checklist with 14 interaction points, including 7 correct and 7 incorrect indicators.

• Secure database for storing results and videos
• Authentication system for access control

• System should support seamless VR interactions with minimal latency for an immersive experience.
• Test results and recordings must be securely encrypted and password-protected.
• The platform should be scalable to support multiple concurrent users and large-scale testing events.
• Data storage should comply with data protection and privacy regulations.
• User navigation and interaction should be intuitive to minimize training needs.

The implementation of the VR vehicle inspection training and assessment system is expected to significantly reduce resource and logistical costs, increase testing flexibility and scheduling efficiency, and improve scoring accuracy and exam security. These enhancements aim to shorten certification turnaround times and enable remote testing, ultimately increasing operational throughput and reducing expenses.
