MOTUM World Software

Accelerating Innovation – Driving Simulation into the Future

MOTUM World — A bespoke and tailorable synthetic environment designed specifically for driver education and training, for developing essential skills and behaviours necessary for safe driving.

MOTUM World features a library of AI-controlled vehicles, environment assets, physics models and our in-house results analysis and analytics software, MotDAS.

Risk-Free Training

Undertake high-risk training scenarios in an authentic and safe simulated environment.

100% Objective Results

Uncompromised analytics and reporting with user determined metrics and results that are 100% objective.

Repeatable Scenarios

Scenarios and lessons are repeatable for continuity in all training requirements regardless of external factors e.g. weather, staff/asset availability etc.

Advanced AI

Advanced AI for traffic behaviour and industry processes and procedures. AI can be at random, scripted or with triggerable events.

Configurable

Environments, roads, vehicles & results can be rapidly developed for any bespoke applications: your vehicles, your environments, your scenarios.

Equipping drivers with safety first skills

A worldwide search for effective and adaptable driver training software led MOTUM’s founder and CEO Steve Hoinville to conclude: ‘We need to build our own.’ The result is MOTUM World – a comprehensive synthetic training environment specifically designed to develop the skills and behaviours essential for safe driving in a variety of circumstances.

MOTUM World is a versatile, multi-industry software suite that can be utilised for any driver and machine operator training. With accurate physics, detailed environments and sophisticated AI capabilities, MOTUM World achieves the level of realism needed to acquire skills that transfer from the virtual to the real world.

 

Meeting specific industry requirements

Fully configurable and customised for specific industry requirements, MOTUM World can be developed precisely to align with your environments, vehicles and scenarios.

Data analysis and results reporting is tailored to individual needs for real-time, 100% objective assessment, with automatic export to client’s database.

Delivering on our vision for accessible and effective broad-based driver and machine operator training through simulation, MOTUM World is currently in service providing solutions to the Emergency Services, Ports, Mining and Learner Driver sectors.

Benefits of MOTUM World’s simulation-based training

High-quality simulation-based driver training offers a wealth of benefits when compared to traditional methods. Motum WORLD’s versatile software achieves superior training outcomes by delivering customised lessons in an authentic and safe environment, protecting people and assets.

The advantages include:

 

  • It minimises the use of expensive vehicle assets resulting in significant cost saving from wear and tear, potential damage and productivity.
  • Allows you to undertake high-risk training scenarios with the opportunity to ‘war-game’ dangerous situations.
  • Facilitates a broader range of trainees having exposure to a diversity of environments and familiarity with conditions often not encountered without years of experience.
  • Repeatable lessons offer the opportunity for potentially unlimited practice.
  • Improves not only driver skills but also increases spatial and situational awareness and the ability to identify risks.
  • Continuity in all training requirements regardless of external factors such as weather or staff/asset availability.
  • Harnesses the recent significant improvements in AI to create realistic and dynamic scenarios.
  • Features personalized lesson plans, data acquisition and objective analysis.
  • Results reporting & export directly to external storage.
  • Fully configurable and tailored to your specific industry training requirements.
  • VR compatible
  • Affordable.

Motum WORLD represents unparalleled value and offers unprecedented benefits in the field of driver and machine operator training.

From Simulation to Situation

The key measure of the success of a simulation-based training program is its capacity to produce the desired real-world outcomes. To achieve this transfer of skills and knowledge from simulation to situation requires a high degree of realism that elicits authentic responses from trainees.

MOTUM World is a synthetic Australian landscape, a multi-terrain environment populated with AI roads, vehicles and buildings. It provides a tailored background designed to present driving conditions and scenarios for safe, repeatable practice. With its comprehensive replication of road physics, accurate modelling of vehicle functionality & handling and detailed depiction of environments & conditions, MOTUM World delivers a highly immersive, realistic experience.

Advanced AI capability can replicate traffic behaviour and industry procedures & processes for the development of dynamic scenarios customisable to each client. And to objectively assess the outcomes, MOTUM World’s comprehensive suite of data collection and analysis tools measures the success of skill acquisition and application to ensure efficacy in the field.

Fully configurable

The MOTUM World synthetic environment is fully expandable and flexible, and adaptable to any land vehicle training regime.  It features a library of AI-controlled vehicles, environment assets and physics models with the ability to generate more to reflect the diversity of the required experience.

Environments
  • Accurate Australian landscapes, road rules and road types.
  • Recreations of specific Australian roads and the ability to integrate seamlessly with the existing synthetic road network.
  • Features include traffic lights, traffic signs, road lanes, slip lanes, roundabouts, potholes, speed bumps and other surface variations.
  • All seasons, all times of day and weather conditions.
  • Other environment types such as mining tunnels, port docks and ships, etc.
Vehicles
  • The capability to produce accurate vehicle models in terms of both the rendering (visual appearance) and vehicle dynamics and behaviour.
  • Examples of our fleet from releases currently in service: mining trucks, defence Bushmasters, passenger cars, heavy vehicles, ambulances.
Scenarios and Lesson Plans
  • Highly adaptable scenarios and lessons tailored to client’s individual requirements.
  • Repeatable lessons for continuity in all training requirements regardless of external factors such as weather, staff/asset availability etc.
  • Advanced AI to imitate traffic behaviour and industry processes and procedures.
  • The capacity for AI random, scripted or triggerable events.
  • The ability for the instructor to halt mid-session and critique results / behaviours then resume.
  • Toggle-able features including:
    • Pop-up warnings or instructions
    • Safe brake distance indicators at set distance or dynamic
    • AI traffic or no traffic
Data & Analysis

MOTUM World incorporates versatile data acquisition and analysis capabilities customisable to the highly-varied requirements of individual industries. For example, the assessment priorities for driver training of port-based RoRo vehicles is vastly different to those required for emergency response training, and different again to those of pre-learner and L-P programs.

User determined metrics include:

  • Results and Telemetry output, with data analytics
  • Results that are 100% objective – log the performance identically for all students.
  • Pass/fail criteria set individually for client requirements
  • Measure almost any performance criteria eg speed, fuel usage, lane discipline etc.
  • Results reporting & export directly to external storage.
