Prestudy – Human AI Interface, AR, VR, UX
Investigation of the utilisation of wearables for maintenance collaboration and inspections.
Goal
The main goal of the research undertaken is to investigate utilisation of wearables for maintenance collaboration and inspections.
Project status and results
To further strengthen research & innovation within ‘AI Factory’, we aim to conduct a pre-study with focus on Human-AI-Interaction (HAI). The project specifically focuses on utilisation of wearables e.g. jacket, glasses, helmet, watches etc. for maintenance collaboration and inspections and to improve the User Experience (UX).
User experience (UX) design process aims to create relevance, context-awareness, and meaningfulness for end-user. In railway contexts, it is believed that applying a human-centric model in the development of AI-based artefacts, will enhance the usability of the solution, which will have positive impact on the decision-making processes. In this project, the applicability of such advanced technologies i.e., Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), and AI have been reviewed for the railway asset management.
To carry out this research work, literature review has been conducted related to available VR/AR/MR technologies and their applications within railways. It has been found that these technologies are available, but not applied in railway asset management. Thus, the aim of this project is to provide Human-AI-Interaction (HAI) and improve UX for the enhancement of railway asset management using Artificial Intelligence (AI), VR, and MR technologies. The practical implication of the findings from this project will benefit in increased efficiency and effectiveness of the operation and maintenance processes in railway.
