Mathematical Algorithm for Risk Assessment of Police Officer in VR Training Simulation

Abstract

Conducting safe coaching is essential for training police officers, who very often face a variety of unexpected and dangerous incidents. Their reaction to situations must be rapid and appropriate. To prepare officers for dangerous situations, but those that cannot be practiced in real life due to high costs, danger, time, or effort, virtual training seems to be the obvious choice. This article deals with the development of a calculation algorithm to assess the risk of actions taken on the site of a traffic incident, which was implemented into the training version of a virtual reality (VR) simulation. It includes a number of factors and elements that form a scenario of simulations that affect the degree of its difficulty and the assessment of the performance of each exercise. The different components of the algorithm that make it possible to assess the skills of the students of police specialist courses are presented. The acceptance criterion for the developed algorithm shall be the correct assessment of the student’s skills during the course of the training.

Risk Assessment of the Operation of Aviation Maintenance Personnel Trained on Virtual Reality Simulators

“…Thus, the use of the ISOPT solution would make it difficult to implement a mathematical model that takes into account the correct execution of tasks, movement in VR space, and the sequence of tasks. At the same time, the mathematical basis of the algorithm, which consists in multiplying the level of risk present in the scenario and the correctness of the tasks, is popular among this type of application; in modern literature, it is described as the "Singapore method/model" (Kovačevića et al,2019;Goyal et al, 2022;Fejdyś et al, 2022).…”

Grid-Based Employee Safety Behavior Risk Assessment of the Train Operation Department

“…In this model, a revised risk matrix based on FAHP was introduced to calculate the consequence and likelihood weights for each risk factor, and then the risk index was obtained by making a product of consequence and likelihood weights, which reflected relative influence degree on operational risk. Fejdys et al [29] dealt with the development of a calculation algorithm to assess the risk of actions taken on the site of a traffic incident, which was implemented into the training version of a virtual reality simulation. It included a number of factors and elements that formed a scenario of simulations that affected the degree of its difficulty and the assessment of the performance of each exercise.…”

Reducing Cognitive Load in High-Stakes Team Training Environments: New Zealand Police

“…Because of this, it has been historically difficult to safely train high-stakes workers with an equivalent level of danger that they will likely experience in the field. Among various existing and emerging technologies, VR training provides the most practical and safe solution to many known risk factors associated with high-stakes work; namely, high costs, danger, time, and effort (Fejdyś, 2022). The New Zealand Police study aimed to put high-fidelity, quality training in front of police officers on a VR platform, however the focus was to gain knowledge and experience with VR to determine its potential value as a tactical training platform rather than a focus on the training content itself.…”

There is a continuum of VR training possibilities, from partially immersive to fully immersive.…”
