Purpose. To develop methodological foundations of software for creating a training simulator using computer modeling and virtual reality technologies based on the example of a shopping and entertainment center.
Methods. The analysis of fire danger at shopping and entertainment centers, the causes of fires and deaths at them. The generalosation of the requirements of regulatory legal acts including both technical regulatory legal and international acts in the field of fire safety ensuring, forming a system of fire safety regulation and standardization, as well as requirements in the field of industrial safety. The development of a three-dimensional virtual environment using the Unreal Engine software environment and objects for filling training locations. The synthesis of requirements in the field of fire and industrial safety, generated indicators for virtual training locations (facilities) to ensure and implement in the simulator the areas of supervision (control) by the (supervisory) authorities of the Ministry for Emergency Situations of the Republic of Belarus.
Findings. A methodology has been developed for the training simulator, including software algorithms, training locations, their description, operating modes and features of interaction with special objects, building planning schemes, justification of the use of structural element parameters, lists of possible violations of fire and industrial safety requirements for training locations (facilities). Based on the developed methodological support, a software product (training simulator) is being developed, which is represented by a virtual environment in the form of a three-dimensional model of a shopping and entertainment center with designed training locations in the Unreal Engine software environment.
Application field of research. The results obtained make it possible to ensure the introduction of computer modeling technologies, virtual reality and modern interactive teaching methods into the educational process to increase the effectiveness of the educational process in the training of specialists, who carry out state supervision in the field of fire and industrial safety.
