With the opening of new railway lines in recent years, the MTR network has become increasingly large, and the demand for maintenance work has increased.
In order to maintain the longevity, safety and reliability of the railway system, the MTR Corporation invested 1.5 million yuan to introduce a mixed reality (MR) system in October last year. The trainees do not need to be in the depot. Repair method.
Leung Yiu-fai, director of MTR train operations, said that MTR is one of the first organizations in Hong Kong to introduce this training method. Trainees only need to wear smart glasses. When learning maintenance training, they do not need to touch physical objects, saving manpower and material resources and avoiding low-voltage Accidents occur in training such as power distribution equipment, which can help reduce the risk of learning.
Some students even pointed out that the system is like the movie "Iron Man", and the high-tech in the movie can be seen in reality, which helps the students to learn about the repair parts in depth.
The MTR student migration training program has a good promotion ladder, and we appeal to interested fresh DSE graduates to enter the industry.

No need to touch physical virtual reality maintenance
MTR's newly introduced Microsoft Hololens 2 mixed reality (Mixed Reality, MR) equipment is currently mainly used for maintenance training.
According to Microsoft's website, the equipment can speed up the design process and reduce the incidence of heavy work in the engineering and construction industries; therefore, employees can identify risks early and become familiar with the design and installation conditions for construction.
Leung Yiu-fai said that in the past, train maintenance training required students to learn the composition of train components, including parts assembly and other knowledge, and may have to go to the factory for on-the-spot inspection or contact with physical objects.
He pointed out that when the trainees learn to maintain the train, they should avoid accidentally touching the object and causing electric shock. With the new system, they don't have to worry about destroying the object during the training.
Through the new mixed reality system, MTR trainees can use smart glasses that can sense gesture commands to see images of the train's underbody bogie, pantograph and high-voltage power system simulated by the system, which can facilitate trainees to familiarize themselves with the components of the train. , to improve training efficiency.
MTR instructors and trainees can also communicate with each other through eyes, voice and gestures through sensors, monitors, surround sound, etc. wearing glasses to enhance their learning experience.

Leung Yiu-fai said that currently, the Mixed Reality Training Center provides three training modes, through which trainees can be arranged to receive different types of training.
1. In the interactive touch TV training mode
, the trainees follow the instructor's instructions, and at the same time "disassemble" and "rotate" the train bogie and pantograph displayed on the large touch screen, so that the small parts in the more complex equipment can be carefully presented to the trainees In front of them, students can understand the structure of the equipment through multi-angle observation.
2. In Hololens 2 mixed reality training mode
, trainees can easily "disassemble" the train and learn the names and functions of different parts by simply executing commands through the glasses and fingers, allowing trainees to experience the on-site environment in a car factory. ; Instructors and other trainees can also observe the whole process in real time through the large touch screen in the training room.
3. Self-learning training mode
In the training mode, such as "teaching assistant", students can wear smart glasses to complete the circuit board test.
Students can correct and solve problems immediately according to the support and instructions provided by the system.
Leung Yiu-fai continued that the new technology can help trainees learn in a safe environment that is "close to reality" and have the opportunity to practice repeatedly before actual operation, making maintenance work safer and in place.
Apprentice: "Like Iron Man"
Ah Kang, who has been a MTR apprentice for one year, said that the new system "is like Iron Man. There are a lot of scenes in the filming. 𠵱My family is actually using it." Another MTR apprentice, Ah Wei, joined after graduating from Form 6. MTR became an apprentice. He said that the MTR apprenticeship training program provides good training and rich opportunities for promotion. He thinks that other interested fresh graduates can consider it.
The MTR Apprenticeship Training Scheme includes railway safety rules and railway systems, virtual reality exercises; workshop safety and practical training (including electronic, electrical and mechanical workshops); professional railway system maintenance training (including overhead antennas, signalling and communication systems, tracks, railways) vehicles and station equipment).
Akang said the MTR apprenticeship training programme has a good progression ladder.
