LR-2000 Closed Cab Rail Operator Training Simulator

Closed Cab Simulator for Rail Operator Training

The FAAC LR 2000 closed cab rail simulator is a self-contained fully interactive simulator designed to train and assesses rail operators. It delivers 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.

Product Features

1-for-1 Cab Replica with Authentic Controls
Geo-Specific Training Environments
Accurately displays operator location, preceding train, signals, signs, stations, switch state, faults, events and current route
4K Visual Displays
Student Train Operation Station (STOS) with an operator’s desk controls to operate the train. Depending on training needs, the operator’s desk/control stand can include interchangeable panels for the operation of different types of traction units on the same simulator.
The STOS includes two-way communication allowing the student to talk with a role-playing instructor during the training exercises.
A Fault Workstation. The fault workstation assists in the training of detection, diagnosis, and rectification of simulator faults.
One to four Closed Circuit Television cameras to allow the instructor to monitor the student while operating the simulator. The cameras can be set to view the student, controls, fault workstation or a combination as needed.
Variety of training scenarios
Managed scoring information
A sound system that generates appropriate sounds for the traction unit being simulation—under all operating conditions
An Instructor Operator Station
An observer station to facilitate associative learning trainees not directly involved in a simulation run.

CUSTOM

FAAC creates simulators 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.
FAAC has converted real locomotive operator compartments into training simulators so that the student is trained in the actual operating environment they will experience in their daily routine.
This driving simulator is custom configured to the requirements and training objectives of the customer. The OEM equipment found in the actual vehicle can be made to function to the real-time simulation.
