Crisis Management Exercises in Virtual Reality

In crisis management, critical sites are required to carry out regular exercises to be prepared for a potential crisis. However, those exercises present a lot of drawbacks that reduce their efficiency: among other things, they are not frequent enough, not adjustable enough, too demanding and they are very expensive. The EGCERSIS project aims at using virtual reality to make fully configurable exercises to train in digital twins of actual critical sites. In this article, we present this project through a simple use case of a crisis in a subway station, involving three actors of crisis management.
