Freight Wagon Repairs

Virtual Reality System for Freight Wagon Repairs

The Virtual Reality Simulator System aims to reduce the likelihood of accidents resulting from freight wagon inspections through the use of virtual reality technology. This system is designed to train and enhance the skills of personnel at the Islamic Republic of Iran Railways in the technical inspection of freight wagons. It includes 24 training and evaluation stages and features two simulated environments: an inspection post room and the outdoor area of Mashhad Railway, both offering a 360-degree view with the option to select day or night mode. Users can choose specific operations and respond to anticipated conditions and hazards in the simulated environment. Additionally, the project benefits from an audio and text assistant to guide users.

Simulated Scenarios and Operations for Reducing Accidents from Freight Wagon Inspections:

• Inspection of the wagon's end fittings, buffers, and couplings
• Technical and visual examination of the wheelset
• Visual inspection of the tank, including markings, handles, longitudinal and transverse beams, etc.
• Inspection of the sub-frame, lever assemblies, and bogie bowl
• Examination of hangers, stays, and brackets
• Inspection of the handbrake and its associated equipment
