Instructor station

Custom-made instructor station

Instructor tablet device

Communication System

Control

The instructors can take control of the simulator and start, pause, replay or stop the simulation session. They can monitor exercises in real-time and alter a training exercise by introducing real-time events during the training session.

Supervision

The instructor station allows for dynamic supervision on different simulators at the same time. Instructor walls make it possible to supervise different simulators at once.

Mobility

Students can be monitored away from the instructor Operating Station with a portable tablet device. The instructor can launch all types of communication with his students from the tablet, without needing to sit at his instructor station.

Communication

The communication touch screen makes it possible to communicate in real-time with trainees, as an instructor, dispatcher or controller. A microphone and high-end loudspeakers also allow communication with the driver.

Observation facilities

Peer learning

The observation facilities offer trainees the opportunity to learn from each other as they follow their peers driving.

Larger audience

The observation facilities also serve as a platform for the instructors to share their knowledge in real-time. Thanks to their tablet device, they will be able to manage simulators while commenting sessions in front of the observer wall.

Time optimisation

Trainees can optimise their time while they are waiting for their turn on a simulator with peer learning.

Debriefing

The facilities are also useful for group debriefing and demonstrations by experienced drivers as you can replay sessions on the wall.

Preparation Station

The instructor can prepare new scenarios thanks to the preparation desk. It allows creating, editing and saving exercises, before, during and after a simulation session, without resorting to the mock-up.

With our simulation management software, you can prepare all sorts of exercises in a couple of clicks. It allows you to preview your network, define the exercise properties, generate traffic, add events, add track objects and add theoretical content. From basic to very specific exercises, our software intends to meet your pedagogical needs.

2D, 3D or VR Virtual Train

Not only can cabin procedures and failures be simulated, but also procedures and failures involving the whole train. To allow the trainee to operate parts of the train not present in the cabin, a virtual train (Fault Finding Station) can be provided.

Thanks to a 2D or 3D touchscreen, the trainee is able to navigate through compartments and outside the cab and apply recovery procedures or solve rolling stock related problems. The Fault Finding Station is thus a cost-effective solution to train drivers to operate on the whole train as they would need to in real situations.

The Virutal Train is also useful within the world of Virtual Reality. When a trainee wants to quickly move to some other place of the train, he can use his virtual tablet and select his desired location.

Motion system

At Transurb, we have the skills and experience to equip our simulators with all sorts of dynamic platforms. We have collaborated with various subcontractors specialising in motion technologies to integrate their system into our solutions.

We also have the unique expertise of building our own dynamic platforms from hardware to software. This useful knowledge makes us specialists to renovate or fix your current motion system.

From 3 to 6 DOF, we provide any motion system to meet your needs. In order to best address your requirements and constraints of cost and space, we can assist you in choosing the most appropriate system.
