With the increasing development and popularisation of information and communication technology, new challenges are posed to higher education in the modernisation of teaching in order to make education and training of students as effective as possible. It is therefore very important to develop and experiment with appropriate development tools, explore their benefits and effectiveness, and integrate them into existing learning strategies. The emergence of a computer-generated digital environment that can be directly experienced, actions that can determine what is happening in it, growth of technological characteristics, and decline in prices of virtual reality hardware leads to a situation that cannot be ignored. This paper investigated users' perceptions on the potential use of fully immersive virtual reality head-mounted displays in a discrete-event simulation of logistics processes. The dynamic nature of virtual environments requires active participation which causes greater engagement, motivation, and interest aided by interaction and challenges.
Inland terminals are becoming important objects (knots) in today’s supply chain. This implies new methods to determine the location of inland terminal. Appropriate inland terminal location (ITL) decision depends on analyzing demand, employee’s availability, investment capabilities and other factors. In this paper we present gravity center method and median method as quantitative ones and Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP), ELECTRE and PROMETHEE as complex decision methods to determine inland terminal location. Given methods are implemented on the example of inland terminal location determination in Republic of Croatia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
