Rail Simulators benefits

Using simulators prevents rolling stock monopolisation as well as track occupation.

In addition to their 24/7 availability, simulators reduce the number of instructors required to train several students simultaneously. This brings significant budgetary benefits.

Simulators immerse drivers into a realistic training environment and enable the reproduction of any driving situation without security issues.

All theoretical and procedural learning relating to rolling stocks, network, signalling, regulations, driving conditions, operation procedures, troubleshooting… can be acquired through simulation.

Learning through simulation brings interactivity, which increases trainees' involvement, reinforces training and improves retention of information.

The simulation sessions are automatically assessed: trainees' behaviour is subjected to detailed reports and their progress is measured. All training results are centralised in a learning management system.

Training on simulators is environmentally friendly, ensures safety of trainees, instructors as well as equipment and improves transparency in performance assessment.

Our experts use the latest technologies in terms of 3D imagery to recreate your network and its environment in a way that is strikingly faithful to reality. Drivers can thus become accustomed to your actual network with its stations, switches, level crossings, tunnels, bridges, critical portions...

All the signals, panels, marker boards and balises found on the network are modelled with great accuracy to get drivers familiarised with your signalling.

Thanks to our international experience, we can simulate any protection system accurately so that drivers can get familiarised with train procedures and potential failures.

Movement authorities coming from ERTMS level 1 or 2 are reproduced on the ERTMS DMI replica, balises are noticeable on tracks, systems transitions and failures can be simulated.

Moving block signalling and train protection are accurately simulated. System failures can also be triggered.

Our simulation solutions enable drivers to get familiarised with the train and its kinetic behaviour, traction power, braking system, rail interaction…

Train drivers to respond to train failures quickly. Thanks to a virtual train, failures involving the whole vehicle can be triggered.

Hauling situations, accidental uncoupling, derailment… are simulated so that drivers learn how to react fast and properly.

Through actual radio communication, the instructor can play the role of a dispatcher and communicate with trainees.

Training drivers for eco-driving does not only reduce energy consumption and air pollution in real situation but also prevents material wear and tear and thereby additional costs.

In addition to minimising fuel expenditures and air pollution, training drivers to eco-driving prevents material wear and tear and thereby additional costs.

Crossing trains, agents working on the network, abnormal situations such as a car stuck on tracks or people walking around can be simulated to teach drivers the right reflexes.

Through simulation, drivers learn to ensure efficient and secure boarding and disembarking of passengers. This includes crowd management at rush hour, people in wheelchairs or with special equipment, disturbing passengers…

Crossing light rail vehicles, agents working on the network, cars on tracks, pedestrians, bicycles... Urban traffic can be full of unpredictable events. Our solutions are perfectly adapted to train drivers so that they can adjust their driving behaviour during intense traffic density and develop the right reflexes.

Thanks to our simulators, you can train drivers to respect tight schedules and thereby ensuring free-flowing traffic on the network.

Sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, foggy, dusty, stormy… we simulate custom-made weather conditions to meet your needs.
