Rotterdam/Coventry, November 18th 2011 - On 23-24 November 2011, VSTEP and GAIST will be demonstrating the RescueSim Emergency Response Trainer during the Emergency Services Show 2011 in Stoneleigh Park, Coventry, UK. With over 350 exhibitors and 4000 visitors attending, the Emergency Services Show and Conference 2011 is the key event for anyone involved in emergency response, both in the UK and abroad. VSTEP will be demonstrating its EyeObserve Simulator for Surveillance Camera Operators and its RescueSim Incident Management Simulator at ITEC 2012 in London. The Mechelen F&R Service and other emergency response services within the safety region of Rivierenland (Belgium) have used the virtual RescueSim platform for their incident response training. To train surveillance camera operators to identify strange and suspicious behavior and detect and report criminal & terrorist activities, VSTEP developed the EyeObserve Simulator in cooperation with the Rotterdam-Rijnmond Police, the National Coordinator Bureau for Counterterrorism (NCTV) and TNO Defence & Security. Dutch newspaper METRO devoted a cover article on this innovative simulator. The VSTEP project to train the Schiphol Airport emergency services and safety personnel with the RescueSim virtual incident response trainer has been nominated by the leading Dutch computer magazine Computable for the ICT-project of the year award. For EMO, the largest transshipment terminal for coal and iron ore in Western Europe, VSTEP created a crane simulator for preparation and training of future and current dry bulk crane operators, increasing their effectiveness and precision. |
