Road Operation Training Simulator for Agricultural Tractor
This technology integrates a physical steering wheel and control levers to simulate agricultural tractor driving. The basic training module features one virtual environment and eleven assessment tasks: engine start-up, reverse parking, curved driving, slope navigation, obstacle avoidance, pedestrian crossing, roadside parking, straight-line driving, railway crossing, circular driving, and final stop. The system provides operational guidance, records scores and time, and automatically detects violations while displaying alert messages. A digital score report is generated for performance evaluation. Training can be conducted regardless of weather conditions, allows task selection based on learning needs, and offers a safe, controlled environment for trial and error. Compared to diesel tractors, this digital approach reduces carbon emissions by enabling repeated practice without fuel consumption or exhaust.
