Development of a web-based 3D virtual reality program for hydrogen station
The hydrogen fueling station is an infrastructure of supplying fuel cell vehicles It is necessary to guarantee the safety of hydrogen station equipment and operating procedure for decreasing intangible awareness of danger of hydrogen Among many methods of securing the safety of the hydrogen stations, the virtual experience by dynamic simulation of operating the facilities and equipment is important Thus, we have developed a virtual reality operator education system, and an interactive hydrogen safety training system This paper focuses on the development of a virtual reality operator education of the hydrogen fueling station based on simulations of accident scenarios and hypothetical operating experience The risks to equipment and personnel, associated with the manual operation of hydrogen fueling station demand rigorous personnel instruction Trainees can practice how to use all necessary equipments and can experience twenty possible accident scenarios This program also illustrates Emergency Response Plan and Standard Operating Procedure for both emergency and normal operations (C) 2009 Professor T Nejat Veziroglu Published by Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
