Realistic environments provide real experience. FAAC’s responsive, immersive transportation simulators create vivid virtual environments that have been demonstrated to improve safety through basic skills development, refresher activities, annual certifications, and remedial lessons. FAAC transportation simulator solutions have improved safety performance by more than 60 percent for preventable accidents, while decreasing the new-hire washout rate by 35 percent.

“Our data collection spoke for itself, a decrease of 69.23% in accidents for those operators trained on the simulator.” — LYNX Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority

Providing Effective Training Tools for Our Customers

FAAC will customize solutions to train the operators of almost any large industrial vehicle. But technology is only half the solution. Over and over again, our customers find that the real value in an integrated, immersive FAAC simulation training solution is in the opportunities it creates for trainers to pinpoint exactly where their students are succeeding and falling short, and prepare them for both everyday tasks and rare, high-risk events.

FAAC embraces a “Customer for Life” philosophy. We invest the time upfront to understand your needs, then develop and deliver the appropriate turnkey solution. We’ll help you find the best way to integrate this custom solution into your training processes and support you in maintaining and evolving this solution as your needs change over time.

We don’t sell equipment; we partner with companies, agencies, and their staff and instructors to develop and create the ideal training solution for their organization.

Most importantly, with a FAAC transportation simulator, you can reap all these benefits with absolutely no risk to equipment, workers, or the community.

A transportation simulator may be as simple as a multi-screen, interactive virtual model of generic situations faced by drivers. Or it can be a fully custom hardware/software system, with specific geographical elements matching your area and the actual routes through communities you serve. FAAC can build complete cabs, precisely matching your fleets’ controls, indicators, gauges, and switches, with motion seats and wraparound screens. Every simulation supports real-time rendering and control of lighting conditions (day, night, dusk, dawn, glaringly bright to overcast), equipment failures, signal faults, and a full range of weather conditions, with extremely fine control of weather severity and mix.

Complete Set of Training Simulators for the Transit Industry

Nothing more fully prepares operators for what they will do during a transit run than placing them in those situations during training. FAAC’s Continuum of Training combines our Bus Driver Training Simulator and our Situational Awareness Simulator in a single continuous training session. This training configuration not only trains the operation of the vehicle but also how to communicate safely with passengers during a transit run. This provides the operator trainees with a much more realistic experience as it relates to their duties.

BUS DRIVER TRAINING SIMULATORS

What makes our Bus Driver Training Simulators different from any other is that it was designed by transit agency experts to meet their unique training needs. Every aspect of our bus simulator is designed for the most true-to-life experience possible. The FAAC MB 2000 simulator has genuine battery electric bus vehicle models, which provides students first-hand experience driving these types of buses prior to over-the-road training. This real-life approach to simulator development results in an effective and efficient training process with a host of benefits to both the trainer and trainee.

Real working physical mirrors are combined with lessons that emphasize the purpose and proper use of each mirror to accomplish critical training objectives. Cabs can be configured to match the precise layout of controls, indicators, gauges, and switches as found in your actual fleet vehicles. The most expansive and accurate field of view – geometrically correct through 340 degrees – enables trainees to look past 90 degrees to observe key reference points.

TRUCK DRIVER TRAINING SIMULATORS

FAAC’s Truck Driver Training Simulator is unlike any other training, testing or development tool available today. Training provided by a commercial driving simulator is safer and more cost-effective than traditional on-the-road training.

FAAC’s high-fidelity approach to commercial driving simulators provides operators with a life-like training environment that can mimic hazards and risk concerns. Most importantly, it feels and acts exactly like the real thing because it was designed by people who drive the real thing.

RAIL OPERATOR TRAINING SIMULATORS

The FAAC’s Rail Operator Training Simulators deliver a fully customized training experience with cabs that can be configured to match the precise layout of controls, indicators, gauges, and switches as found in your actual vehicles.

The most expansive, accurate field of view that is geometrically correct enables trainees to observe key reference points. These simulators are designed to meet the training objectives of any organization. Such considerations include the operator driving station, cab environment, controls, visual display requirements, virtual driving environment, and any custom software and geo-specific databases.
