Description

The utility model relates to the field of training equipment, in particular, to devices for training railway personnel and can be used to improve the efficiency and quality of training of specialists and railway workers. It is known that training and developing the skills of interaction between the main participants of the transportation process during shunting at the railway station and following the train around the site, as well as practicing actions in unusual situations, are a difficult section in the program for training and advanced training of specialists and railway workers. The safety of the movement, as well as the life and health of people involved in the transportation process, directly depends on how skilled the participants in the transportation process are and how coordinated their interaction is during shunting at the railway station.

There are various training complexes for training pilots, drivers and other specialists. For example, from the patent RU 2263351 a transport and training vessel for marine vocational education is known, in which a computer-training system with workplaces of students is built-in. Workplaces of students are reserve ship posts that duplicate the main posts for receiving and processing information when sailing in real conditions and when performing all ship operations, with the possibility of comparing the decisions of the officers on duty at the main posts with the decisions made by students at the reserve ship posts and stored in computer training system of training. The technical result consists in accelerating the adaptation of students to professional activities and marine life in physically real conditions.

As a result of the patent information search for direct analogues of the claimed multifunctional hardware and software simulator complex, designed for training and developing interaction skills during shunting at the railway station and following the train around the site, we did not find.

The objective of the utility model is to conduct training, develop the skills of interaction of the main participants in the transportation process during shunting at the railway station and follow the train around the site, as well as practice actions in unusual situations.

The technical result consists in increasing the efficiency and quality of training, traffic safety, developing skills to comply with safety rules during work, as well as reducing material and time costs.

The inventive hardware and software training complex for training railway personnel contains jobs: a manager, a station duty officer (DSP), a shunting locomotive driver, a trainer, a car inspector, a cargo receiver, a goods cashier, a video surveillance system for participants, a server. At the same time, the manager’s workplace is equipped with a personal computer with four monitors located on a specialized desk, an acoustic system for listening to radio communications and a microphone for communication with participants, as well as a VGA signal mixer. The workstation of the station duty officer (DSP) is equipped with a personal computer with two liquid crystal monitors located on a specialized desk and a “view from the station” screen. The workplace of the shunting locomotive driver consists of a remote control of the corresponding series of shunting locomotive with real instruments and controls. The simulator is equipped with four screens that simulate views from the cab of the locomotive (forward, backward, left and right). The operation of all the main controls (the driver’s controller, toggle switches, switches, including buffer lights, searchlights, driver’s cranes and auxiliary brakes, etc.) is provided, as well as the display of readings corresponding to the actual readings of all the main control and measuring instruments of the control panel ( manometers, ammeters, voltmeters). Safety devices are connected to the simulator console in accordance with the configuration of a real shunting locomotive (depending on the series), which provide the implementation of operation algorithms similar to the operation of real safety devices on a shunting locomotive. The compiler’s workplace consists of a personal computer, a touch screen, a joystick for movements, a head position tracker and a headset for radio communications. The head position tracker allows the student to change the direction of their gaze (image) depending on the rotation of the head (regardless of the position of the body in the 3D scene). The wagon inspector's workplace consists of a personal computer with a touch monitor, a joystick for moving, a head position tracker and a headset for radio communication. The workplace of the cargo transceiver consists of a personal computer, a touch monitor, a joystick for moving, a head position tracker and a headset for radio communication. The workplace of the cargo transceiver consists of a personal computer, a touch monitor, a joystick for moving, a head position tracker and a headset for radio communication. The video surveillance system includes video surveillance cameras installed near each participant’s workstation, from which a signal is transmitted to a specialized computer and then displayed on one of the manager’s monitors. The video surveillance system allows you to record video from cameras for subsequent analysis of the actions of participants. To coordinate the actions of participants, a server is installed.
