Success story · Automotive & training

GNFA trains 3 000 inspectors in roadworthiness testing, through simulation.

Every year, inspectors in roadworthiness testing centres follow a compulsory, certifying course. K-STUDIO reproduces the testing equipment and multiplies the defects to recognise, without depending on the vehicles on site.

The context

Training inspectors every year on roadworthiness requirements.

GNFA is a training body dedicated to the automotive trades. For roadworthiness testing, 3 000 centre inspectors follow a compulsory, certifying course every year, covering the recognition of defects against regulation that keeps evolving.

The blind spot

You only train well on the defects you have at hand.

In the classroom, practice cases are limited to the vehicles physically available that day. A rare defect is therefore never met during the course, and the inspector discovers it in real conditions.

The scope

What the deployment covers.

Vehicle roadworthiness testing

Compulsory, certifying course, 3 000 inspectors a year

In production
The solution

A complete virtual experience of the roadworthiness test.

With K-STUDIO, GNFA designed simulated exercises reproducing the various pieces of roadworthiness testing equipment, enriched with 3D images of vehicles showing varied defects. Practice cases no longer depend on the available fleet.

The equipment reproduced

The exercises simulate the various pieces of equipment used during a roadworthiness test.

Vehicles in 3D

3D images show the defects to recognise, far beyond the fleet present in the room.

Multiplied cases

Practice no longer depends on the vehicles physically available.

A simulation kept up to date

The simulation evolves every year with roadworthiness testing regulation.

The results

Richer practice to prepare for certification.

3 000 inspectors concerned

They follow this compulsory, certifying course every year.

More practical cases

A wide range of defects is available, with no limit tied to the vehicle fleet.

Practice before certification

Inspectors train on many situations with their certification in view.

Evolving content

GNFA updates the simulation every year to match changes in regulation.

Frequently asked questions

What we are asked about this deployment.

Does K-STUDIO replace GNFA training?
No. The compulsory, certifying course remains the framework. K-STUDIO brings the practice: the inspector trains on defects they would not meet in the vehicle fleet present in the room.
What does the simulation reproduce?
The roadworthiness testing equipment:a complete virtual experience, enriched with 3D images of vehicles showing various defects to recognise.
Does the simulation follow regulation?
Yes. GNFA updates the simulation every year to match changes in roadworthiness testing regulation.
What does it change day to day?
The inspector trains on a far wider range of defects than the fleet available in the room, as many times as they wish, before their annual certification.
