Conventionally, taxis have been a simple means of transportation that replaces public transportation, but taxis that provide various services are gradually increasing at present.
In particular, as the services provided by taxis are diversified, education for taxi drivers who provide services is being actively conducted.
In order for passengers to receive the taxi services conveniently as possible, the taxi services are operated by drivers who have completed a taxi driver training course and provided to the passengers.
As such taxi services increase, the importance of the taxi driver training course is being emphasized.
In the past, training was conducted while taxi drivers boarded actual taxis installed in places provided by training companies.
However, there was a problem in that it was difficult to train a large number of professional drivers in a short time due to problems in space or equipment when training a taxi driver while actually boarding the taxi.
In order to solve this problem, Korean Patent Unexampled Publication No. 2017-0078025 tried to solve a space constraint by installing a taxi education device formed only with a part of a taxi in a place provided by an education company.
As a result, it was possible to train more professional drivers in a shorter time than before, but there is still a lack of educational tools required to train the professional drivers more effectively and in recent years, the need to perform education of the professional taxi drivers by a non-face-to-face scheme has been gradually increasing with the occurrence of Corona 119.

In other words, a taxi work environment is rapidly changing to enhance customer convenience, and companies participating in the mobility are focusing on the settlement of mobile-based paging services, high-quality services, and safe driving since a mobile taxi industry is just growing.
In spite of high levels of a transportation system, an infrastructure, and a system, in terms of quality, transportation workers are inexperienced in how to use apps installed on smart phones, do not properly utilize real-time traffic information functions, and due to inexperienced operating of terminals and meters, there is a lack of countermeasures against this, there are still very few skilled transport workers based on mobility, and even though the ability to use app devices in the field is very weak, which has a large direct impact on service quality, due to absence of a systematic high-skilled driver education system, it is insufficient to properly manage and nurture the capabilities of skilled transport workers at the organizational level.
Accordingly, the present invention was made, and the economic feasibility according to the present invention is about 250,000 individual and corporate taxis nationwide as of the end of last year, and there are about 70,000 in Seoul where competition for new services is fierce.
It is expected that considerable cost will be consumed to educate them all, and the effect of reducing the resources consumed for education by using the application is expected.
Despite the high levels of the transportation system or the infrastructure, and the system, drivers do not properly use the app functions installed on smartphones, and safe driving and countermeasures against customer complaints are insufficient.
In order to provide differentiated services, it is necessary to strengthen the education in terms of convenience of transport workers so as to use results of big data analysis that analyzes service patterns for the education, and perform ICT skill proficiency and premium service competency training anytime, anywhere.
In this regard, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a non-face-to-face platform taxi experience education using augmented reality or virtual reality, which switches a legacy offline membership taxi education a non-face-to-face online education using the augmented reality or virtual reality, and a real spatial background is constructed using 360-degree images (virtual reality) and a sense of location is added using the augmented reality and a realistic environment is provided to allow trainees to personally practice an experiential education learning contents through an interaction in a produced environment, thereby increasing an educational learning ability of the trainees.
