In order to enhance management on toxic chemical substances and improve rescuing abilities, this project“3D virtual reality training system for emergency rescue on toxic chemical incidents”is built to train Hazardous Material Emergency Response teams being capable of precaution, inspection, as well as emergency response after authentically experiencing a series of disasters/incidents rescuing practices through software. The training system can tolerate multiple trainings simultaneously. This project contains 2 training packages along with related hardware devices. Each package includes 3 licenses of trainees, 1 license of instructor, 1 license of tablet and the objects data base. The project establishes 2 main system set-ups, installation of 10 licenses (6 of trainees, 2 of instructors, 2 of tablets), hardware of 8 laptops, 3 tablets, 2 whiteboards, 4 projectors and 4 big screens. Hence, the pointed incident scenario is created based on the real incident- Sin Hun chemical plant on fire in 2005. This scenario enables Hazardous Material Emergency Response teams to practice emergency response with offered simulating objects like roles, trucks, tools. Moreover, another 15 incident scenarios plus 1 big incident scenario ,1 harbor incident and 1 tunnel incident are also provided to facilitate training on different types of environmental situations. Software trainings to Central＆South Hazardous Material Emergency Response teams include hardware setting, basic operation, multiple connection exercises and so on. To ensure instructors and trainers understand adequate operation and can enhance emergency response abilities via simulation training.
