We are delighted to announce that SIMULAPro©, our joint development with Italian rail training experts TRAINing Srl, has been selected by Accademia Nautica dell’Adriatico as their preferred simulator training solution.

Students studying for a career in the Italian rail industry are now able to practice rules-based  driving procedures selected individually or assigned by their instructors. The tablet-based simulators provide Accademia Nautica dell’Adriatico with an entirely flexible solution that can accommodate teaching multiple students simultaneously.

SIMULAPro©, offers students a wide library of focused simulation sessions based on normal and degraded operating conditions. Each scenario is aligned with specific rules-based procedures and includes a virtual On-Train Data Recorder (ODTR) that captures and automatically reports the students’ performance to the assessor for review.
