Estudo de caso: treinamento com realidade virtual para motoristas no segmento de transporte rodoviário de passageiros em Minas Gerais realizado na Viação BHZMG

Abstract

Training and training programs, especially of road passenger drivers, have presented some shortcomings such as extensive workload, repetitive content and difficulties of assimilation by drivers. Given this scenario, this project aims to demonstrate the financial and operational feasibility of virtual reality as a way to meet the need to improve the traditional training of drivers. The use of this technology is already carried out efficiently by SEST SENAT and made available to transport companies. However, the problem of the displacement of drivers is a necessity not yet contemplated. According to the case study analyzed in the Viação BHZMG, in which one of the members of the group works proved that the use of this technology provides the creation of an environment that seeks to reproduce to the maximum the sensation of reality for the individual, awakening it to interaction and experience of a simulation very close to your daily life, providing benefits such as: reduction of costs in the driver's journey to carry out the training. The investment for this has proven to be feasible and its return can be demonstrated by the use of the equipment in any place that the driver is, provided that the conditions for this are met according to the information made available in the contents of this Project. In addition, it is a motivating element, as it keeps the focus of the driver focused on his learning. The equipment is attractive and innovative and is inserted in a virtual environment. It was verified that the traditional trainings although they present as a tool the development of people, they have deficiencies to supply the problems of optimization of the time and immersion in the reality, mainly. It is worth mentioning that so far, Viação BHZMG has been the only company to adopt technology within its own company. The methods used to carry out the project were: bibliographical research with documentary analysis, field research carried out in passenger transport companies and a case study in Viação BHZMG (fictitious name to protect the identity of the real company).
