GUIDING LIGHTS TECHNOLOGY

INTRODUCTION TO THEIR GLOBAL LOCOMOTIVE DRIVER TRAINING

SIMULATOR PROGRAMM

PROVIDING THE WORLDS MOST ADVANCED RAIL SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY

FROM SYDAC, TO ENHANCE TRAINING, PUBLIC SAFETY & INCREASE CORPORATE

“PROFITABILITY”

PICTURE THIS !

Imagine: Bringing Training Instructors and Drivers into an Amphitheatre Simulation Training Centre of Excellence” to train on Simulators that exactly model the handling & performance characteristics of a train, before delivery!

TOTAL REALISM

AND REPLICATION

To optimize realism the Simulators use actual train controls and gauges. We can accurately replicate the handling and performance characteristics of any train model, from any manufacturer in the world, in any language!

PICTURE THIS!

Drivers can train on geo-specific track for route familiarization, or geo-typical track for general training. This ensures the smooth and rapid integration of new rolling stock and expedites the return on investment in both simulators and new trains

GLT’S GLOBAL SIMULATOR INITIATIVE PROGRAMME (GSIP)

The GSIP was developed by Guiding Lights Technology (GLT) for world-wide application

GLT has introduced the GSIP in North America, the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and China

GLT has world-wide experience in State-of-the-Art Simulation technology, advising major corporations and insurance companies on Simulation Training

Simulation technology is rapidly advancing. Simulation has to make business sense, providing customers with the best combination of competitive pricing with the latest advancement in technology

AUTUMN = DANGER

Customers world-wide know that Autumn = danger when residue from leafs makes rails as slippery as a car driving on ice! It is a major cause of SPAD’s (Signals Passed at Danger). The Simulator is the only safe way to train drivers for dealing with these conditions and ensure Public Safety.

PICTURE THIS!! AUTUMN + DRIVING INTO SUN = EXTREME DANGER!

Autumn + driving into the sun = Extreme Danger. Drivers have to “multi-task” and stay focused. The Simulator is the only safe way to evaluate, train and certify drivers to react safely to these conditions by acquiring multi-tasking skills.

CRYSTAL CLEAR GRAPICS

TO OPTIMIZE REALISM

We provide the worlds most advanced crystal clear CGI (Computerized Graphics Imagery) to optimize realism and training. Pedestrians and passengers are life like. We can provide scenarios that replicate dense rush hour crowds and CGI for both inside the train, station views and CCTC (close circuit television camera’s)

Amphitheatre settings and wrap around

screens for

total immersion

& realism

Train Companies can bring trainers and drivers together in an “Amphitheatre” setting affording opportunities for cross training and sharing of experience.

Rail Manufacturers can bring in customers and drivers, to drive their new trains before they are delivered, and on their own geo-specific routes.

Amphitheatre settings and wrap around screens for total immersion

& training realism

Instructors can evaluate and train in real time, “situational awareness” and assess drivers hazard perception skills. Driver’s reactions to infrequent and dangerous emergency situations can be done in complete safety 24X7

An Amphitheatre center allows instructors to train large numbers of drivers as well as monitor individual drivers performance. It also facilitates the integration of“Best Practices” into the training curriculum.

MOBILE DRIVER TRAINING SIMULATORS

Mobile driver training simulators can bring training to multiple locations in remote area’s, or where no class rooms exist.

DESCIPTION OF SIMULATORS & RANGE OF PRODUCTS

What is a Rail Vehicle Simulator?

A Driver Training Rail Vehicle Simulator accurately replicates a trains performance & handling characteristics. It brings Airline Pilot standards of Training & Safety to the Rail Industry, contributing to Public Safety
