SCDF developing simulator to improve response to accidents

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) is exploring the possibility of using a training simulator to enhance response to road accidents. It plans to develop a system which allows various scenarios involving different types of vehicles and levels of damage to be programmed, with an eye on improving the process by which its officers handle emergency situations. This seeks to eliminate some of the constraints encountered in training programmes presently.

The intended system will allow participants undergoing training to physically operate rescue equipment within a virtual environment. If implemented, the SCDF is likely to be a pioneer in this field. By being trained to deal with different scenarios, it is hoped that rescue officers will possess better assessment and decision-making skills, speeding up rescue operations and therefore improving the survival chances of casualties involved in serious accidents.
