Advanced Training through Virtual Reality Techniques, Artificial Intelligence, and High-Fidelity CFD Simulations
The Hi4TrAIning project aims to develop a virtual reality software platform that recreates an extremely precise and dynamic training environment, displayed in real-time based on the operator’s reactions. Immersed in a realistic and interactive naval environment, integrated with high-fidelity fluid dynamics results managed through artificial intelligence techniques, the user will gain solid familiarity with the safety procedures necessary to manage emergency situations both onboard ships and in shipyards during vessel construction, such as gas leaks and complex maintenance scenarios.

This approach seeks to enhance the learning, reaction and decision-making capabilities of crew members and technicians operating on gas carriers and ships equipped with alternative fuel propulsion systems (CH4, LH2, MeOH, NH3).
The companies M.E.S – Marine Engineering Services and ENGYS, with their extensive experience in the naval sector and computational fluid dynamics, conceived the Hi4TrAIning project and submitted it to the IRISS 2023 – Next Gen. EU – M4C2I2.3 (PNRR) call by the SMACT Competence Center (Industry 4.0 Competence Center), securing funding of €399,366 out of a total project cost of €669,669.
The project also involves SISSA mathLab for the generation of reduced models obtained by processing high-fidelity CFD analysis results related to gas dispersion, and the HCI Lab – Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory of the University of Udine to reproduce the naval environment in high fidelity through virtual reality.
