Coordination and Logistic Aspects in Computer Based Training for Emergency Situations

Abstract: This report presents research study conducted at Linkoping University on coordination and logistics training design in simulation based environment.This study is based on C3Fire simulation environment for designing scenarios and simulations to train people for coordination and logistics handling under emergency situations. Related existing literature and theories about decision making, teamwork and situation awareness are studied and consulted to design new scenarios. Several scenarios were developed and initial experiments were conducted on these scenarios to check whether they meet intended behavior or not. Result of experiments proved success of scenario‟ design and these scenarios along their training goals, player and manager instructions are documented in report. It can be used to train and test team‟s ability for coordination and logistics aspects in emergency situations. Exhaustive testing of scenarios on large experiment base is left as future work.
