Abstract
Functional model of a virtual simulator for the organization of evacuation training
Incoming article date: 17.04.2024The article discusses the possibilities of using virtual reality technologies to organize fire safety training for schoolchildren. The requirements for the virtual simulator are formulated from the point of view of ensuring the possibility of conducting classes on practicing evacuation skills from the building of a specific educational organization. A functional model of a virtual simulator is presented, built on the basis of the methodology of structural analysis and design, describing the process of developing a virtual space with interactive elements and organizing training for the evacuation of students based on it. A semantic description of the control signals of the functional model, its inputs, mechanisms and outputs is given. The contents of the model subsystems are revealed. Requirements for software, hardware and methodological support for training using virtual reality technologies when conducting fire training are formulated. The concept of creating a digital twin of a building of a general education organization in virtual space is substantiated. Examples of improving virtual space by using the results of mathematical modeling of fire are given. The use of visualization of smoke and flame in virtual space is justified to avoid the occurrence of panic in children during evacuation in fire conditions. Conclusions are drawn about the advantages of the proposed virtual simulator. The prospects for further research and solution to the problem of developing skills for evacuating students from a building of a general education organization in case of fire are listed.
