The Dispatch Simulator allows guards and station staff to practise normal, degraded and emergency train dispatch procedures in a safe environment, including interactive simulation of specific trains and multiple platform configurations. It enables trainers to introduce and control training content that is impossible to replicate in live training, and provides trainees with the best possible practice prior to working on live platforms.
BUILT FOR
New trainees building initial competence and confidence before live service. Experienced staff maintain skills through refresher and return-to-work training. Trainers and assessors deliver richer, more consistent sessions.
WHY CUSTOMERS CHOOSE IT
- Provides training environments aligned to specific rule book requirements
- Rehearse degraded and emergency dispatch scenarios in full VR. These are the ones you can’t risk running on a live platform.
- Train on accurate 3D models of your own fleet and stations, built alongside your operation.
- Cover every platform, signalling and dispatch configuration across a multi-station route.
- Give trainers real-time control of scenarios, including realistic distraction and pressure.
- Support diverse learning styles for training that’s more inclusive and engaging.
- Build the muscle memory that reduces platform-train interface risk and improves assessment outcomes, with measurable reductions in network incidents over time.
