Since spring 2024, the \u00d6BB (Austrian Federal Railways) rolling stock maintenance has been using VPS Smart Glasses as an integral part of its training and continuing education programs.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Inspired by the successful project \u201cAugen:Blicke \u2013 Eyetrackertraining\u201d, which introduced the glasses in \u00d6BB\u2019s shunting operations, railcar inspectors now use eye tracking technology to refine their inspection techniques for vehicles, cargo, and cargo security during annual practical training sessions.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\u201cPerception is the core responsibility of our railcar inspectors,\u201d emphasizes Alexander Glanzer, technical operations manager for rolling stock maintenance. Missing a defect or getting distracted could have serious consequences. Eye tracking technology records their every eye movement, providing objective, data-based feedback on whether all relevant areas have been thoroughly examined.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Even experienced railcar inspectors benefit from this training \u201cOver time, it\u2019s natural for a certain level of routine blindness to creep in. With the glasses, we can catch it, raise awareness, and further enhance safety,\u201d says Glanzer.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n

During annual practical training sessions, railcar inspectors wear VPS smart glasses while conducting inspections. Using the smart glasses is entirely optional for \u00d6BB railcar inspectors, those who opt in can analyze their recorded eye tracking videos independently or review them with an instructor. \u201cEven when employees review the videos on their own, the impact is significant.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

So far, the feedback has been very positive,\u201d reports Glanzer.
The handling of collected data is meticulous and transparent: recordings are not saved and are deleted after analysis unless employees request to keep them for personal use. Instructors also obtain prior consent before using recordings as training videos.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Since the introduction of VPS Smart Glasses, around 100 railcar inspectors have actively used them, with a further 70 expressing interest.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Very positive feedback regarding wearer safety and training effect.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The glasses are already in use at 60 operational stations – the purchase of additional glasses is being planned.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Use of the glasses for live support in operations is planned.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
