Time Estimate

25 Hours

Summary

Introduce realistic fault scenarios, such as hydraulic failures or engine malfunctions, to challenge users’ problem-solving skills and enhance their understanding of excavator operation under adverse conditions.

Key Goals

  • Provide users with immersive fault scenarios to test their troubleshooting and operational skills.
  • Simulate a variety of realistic faults to reflect real-world challenges.
  • Ensure fault simulations align with training objectives and promote critical thinking.

Responsibilities

  • Develop realistic fault scenarios, such as hydraulic failures, power loss, or engine overheating.
  • Incorporate guided and unguided options to cater to varying skill levels.
  • Test fault simulations for realism, usability, and alignment with training goals.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Fault scenarios are realistic and provide clear learning objectives.
  • Users can identify and address faults effectively with minimal external assistance.
  • Fault simulations integrate seamlessly with guided and unguided training modules.

Risks and Mitigations

  • Risk: Fault scenarios overwhelm users or fail to provide meaningful learning experiences.
    Mitigation: Scale difficulty gradually and provide contextual hints or guidance for new users.
  • Risk: Simulations introduce performance issues or disrupt session flow.
    Mitigation: Optimize simulation logic and test extensively under varying conditions.

Success Metrics

  • 90% of users report fault simulations as realistic and engaging during feedback surveys.
  • Users demonstrate a 25% improvement in troubleshooting skills after completing fault scenarios.
  • Stakeholders rate fault simulations highly for their relevance and alignment with training objectives.
