We successfully delivered a comprehensive, Interactive VR Tram Driver Training solution for tram operators on behalf of Warsaw Trams company (Tramwaje Warszawskie sp. z o.o.). Designed with trainees in mind, this project aims to prepare future tram operators for their challenging certification exams.
VR Training for Tram Drivers
The VR training program is built on interactive VR180 video content using ISSVR system. It consists of two main modules:
- Pre-Operation Check – This module guides operators through the safety and readiness inspection of the tram before departure.
- City Driving Simulation – Trainees navigate realistic urban scenarios, encountering complex and demanding situations on the road. The VR environment allows them to test their knowledge in a safe, controlled setting.
ISSVR for Warsaw Trams
Each training module incorporates interactive quizzes. Trainees select answers from multiple-choice questions displayed on screen. After completing the training, users can access their results through a personal profile and generate detailed performance reports. The ISSVR platform also provides real-time monitoring of training progress, enabling live oversight of trainee outcomes.
This no-code interactive training system was designed without the need for developer involvement, allowing flexibility and ease of updates. The system administrator can effortlessly add or edit quiz questions and generate comprehensive reports, making it a robust solution for organizational needs.
VR Promotional Video
As a complement to the training, we produced a short promotional VR video featuring Warsaw Trams employees encouraging candidates to apply for tram driver positions.
VR Tram Driver Training, PC App, and CMS for Training Management
The training program is accessible both via VR headsets and a PC application. Additionally, administrators have access to the ISSVR management panel, enabling seamless training process oversight and participant progress tracking. The ISSVR editor allows for customizations, such as updating the quiz questions. The back-end is also used for generating detailed training analytics.
Collaboration and Technical Excellence
The training scenarios were developed in close collaboration with experienced tram operators, ensuring the inclusion of up-to-date information and practical expertise. The VR footage was captured using the state-of-the-art Canon R5C camera with a Dual Fisheye lens, delivering high-quality immersive content.
Furthermore, this project contributes to academic research, serving as a case study for a doctoral dissertation exploring the impact of VR technology on knowledge retention among Warsaw Trams employees.
