Abstract

It is most desirable to build a crane training program in the same evvironment as the actual port, but it has problem such as time constraint and cost. To overcome these limitations, next-generation training programs based on AR/VR are receiving a lot of attention. In this paper, a prototype of a harbor crane training system based on virtual reality was designed and implemented. The system implemented in this paper consists of two elements: an Arduino-based IoT terminal and an HMD equipped with a Unity application program. The IoT terminal consists of 2 controllers, 2 toggle switches, and 8 button switches to process data generated according to the user's operation. The HMD uses Oculus Quest2 and is connected to the IoT terminal through wireless communication to provide user convenience. The training system implemented in this paper is expected to provide trainees with a training environment independent of time and place through virtual reality and to save time and money.

크레인 훈련 프로그램은 실제 항만과 동일한 환경의 훈련 시스템을 구축하고 이를 활용하는 것이 가장 바람직하지만 시공간의 제약과 비용 등의 문제를 가지고 있다. 이런 제약점을 극복하고자 AR/VR을 기반으로 한 차세대 훈련 프로그램이 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 가상현실을 기반으로 하는 항만 크레인 훈련 시스템의 프로토타입을 설계하고 구현하였다. 본 논문에서 구현한 시스템은 아두이노를 기반으로 한 IoT 조작 단말기와 유니티 응용프로그램을 탑재한 HMD 2가지 요소로 구성된다. IoT 조작 단말기는 2개의 컨트롤러와 2개의 토클 스위치 및 8개의버튼 스위치로 이루어져 사용자의 조작에 따라 발생하는 데이터를 처리한다. HMD는 Oculus Quest2를 사용하며IoT 단말기와 무선통신으로 연결되어 사용자의 편의성을 제공한다. 본 논문에서 구현한 훈련 시스템은 가상현실을 통해 훈련자에게 시간과 장소에 구애받지 않는 훈련 환경을 제공하고 시간과 비용을 절감할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
