Hold/Evacuate Instruction Tsumikiseisaku Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Sumida-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Shinya Akasaki), a cross-innovation company that creates and maximizes customer value using the latest technology, has jointly developed "VR Content for Train Collision Accident Prevention Training" with JR West Rail Tech Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Rail Tech"), which is responsible for track facility and civil engineering structure inspections and track maintenance work using large machinery within the JR West Group. This content adopts a "leader-led training type" approach, unlike conventional "experiential" VR. In this system, the instructor sets the situation on the spot and can instruct trainees to enter or evacuate. It covers everything from repetitive practice of basic operations to re-experiencing past accidents, aiming for zero casualties from "train collision accidents," which are considered the most serious risk in on-track work sites. Background of Development -- Aiming for Zero "Train Collision Accidents," the Most Serious Risk in the Industry In track maintenance sites, "train collision accidents" due to contact with trains are considered the most serious risk. The strong awareness of serious accidents that must not be repeated was the background for Rail Tech's decision to develop its own training content. Safety education utilizing VR is already spreading within the industry, and Rail Tech initially used off-the-shelf experiential VR teaching materials for new employee training and on-site follow-up training. However, after about two years of use, the company solidified its direction towards needing "unique teaching materials that can be repeatedly and reliably trained in accordance with our company's training system," and joint development with Tsumikiseisaku began in fiscal year 2024. From "Experiential" to "Training" -- Features of This Content Rail Tech aimed for content that could withstand repeated educational training, further evolv
