Showcase 2.0 Features / 9. Operation and Fault Simulation
Time Estimate
95 Hours
Summary
Operation and Fault Simulation establishes a robust framework for immersive, hands-on excavator training. By combining guided instruction with free-form challenges, this epic enables users to master operational skills, respond to simulated faults, and evaluate their performance through detailed reports.
Key Goals
- Provide users with comprehensive training in excavator operation, from basic controls to advanced techniques.
- Simulate realistic fault scenarios to test user problem-solving and adaptability.
- Offer guided experiences to onboard new users and prepare them for self-directed challenges.
Responsibilities
- Develop guided tutorials for onboarding users to basic excavator controls and operations.
- Implement fault simulations, such as hydraulic failures or engine malfunctions, to enhance training realism.
- Create a challenge mode for assessing operational proficiency in unguided scenarios.
- Provide detailed operational report cards to give users actionable feedback on their performance.
Acceptance Criteria
- Guided tutorials effectively teach users core operational concepts as they enter the cab.
- Fault simulations are realistic, diverse, and aligned with training objectives.
- Challenge mode provides a structured yet unguided environment for skill evaluation.
- Operational report cards summarize key performance metrics and offer clear improvement suggestions.
Risks and Mitigations
- Risk: Overwhelming users with complex controls during initial tutorials.
Mitigation: Gradually introduce controls and features, starting with the basics.- Risk: Fault scenarios disrupt user flow or become repetitive.
Mitigation: Design faults with scalable difficulty and integrate them organically into scenarios.
Success Metrics
- 90% of users complete guided tutorials without requiring additional assistance.
- Users rate fault simulations as realistic and engaging in post-session feedback.
- Challenge mode improves user operational proficiency by at least 25% after repeated sessions.
Features
- Guided Operation (40H): Provide a step-by-step guided tutorial to teach core excavator operation skills, preparing users for advanced scenarios.
- Fault Simulation (25H): Introduce realistic fault scenarios, such as hydraulic failures and engine malfunctions, to test troubleshooting and operational skills.
- Challenge Mode (20H): Create an unguided mode where users demonstrate their skills in self-directed operational challenges.
- Operational Report Card (10H): Generate detailed performance summaries, offering actionable feedback on task accuracy and efficiency.
