TranSim™ Truck Driving Simulator

Truck Driving Simulator Benefits

Simulation training allows practice of critical decision-making skills and reinforces positive decision making, situation and spatial awareness in a realistic, risk-free environment.


PRACTICAL TRAINING

Enhances initial driver training, periodic training and driver assessments allowing you to conduct practical real-world training on different terrains and for different road and atmospheric conditions.

REDUCE ACCIDENTS

Our customers have significantly reduced preventable accidents as well as reduced severity of the accidents.

IMPROVE FUEL EFFICIENCY

Lower operational costs through better fuel efficiency. Realize fuel savings through better fuel management training.

REDUCE VEHICLE COSTS

Minimize maintenance and damage to company-owned vehicles. Training on the simulator keeps your vehicles on the road and earning revenue.

IMPROVE DRIVER RETENTION

Complete, consistent, objective feedback on performance gives drivers the skills and confidence to drive more safely and more efficiently.

FLEXIBLE DELIVERY OPTIONS

Include fixed-site installation in a building or fully mobile training unit in a trailer or truck. Trailer options available to outfit in a mobile driver training unit complete with on-site classroom and instructors.

Best-in-class simulation-based training system for commercial truck drivers.

The modern, ergonomic design of the L3Harris TranSim™ driving simulator replicates a commercial vehicle driving compartment.

TranSim™ accurately simulates the vehicle’s physical and functional characteristics. It also adjusts to the size, weight, turning radius, tire and suspension characteristics for each vehicle that it simulates.

  • Touchscreen interface for intuitive control of the system settings and training scenarios.
  • Instructor operator station (IOS) included for effective management of training objectives, scenarios and malfunction simulation.
  • Scenario difficulty can be adjusted to accommodate any experience level.
    • Easily reproduce and rehearse unique driving situations.
  • Numerous scenarios covering a wide variety of training objectives.
  • Vehicle, autonomous traffic and environment libraries covering a wide variety of geographic settings and conditions.
  • After action review (AAR) and playback capability.
  • Collection and reporting of scoring data.
  • Performance assessment tools and replay/de-brief software enhance training effectiveness.
  • Our reconfigurable Glass Dash allows the TranSim™ to replicate different vehicle types (synthetic gauges and instrumentation giving greater flexibility and upgradability).
  • Change the weather conditions (rain, snow, ice and fog); road/traffic environment to urban, suburban, rural, mountains, motorway and desert; and the lighting conditions to day, night or twilight.
  • The Glass Console allows the instructor control of the simulator via touch screen at the operators console (OpCon) and gives operators simple and quick control to change vehicle type.
  • High resolution visual display system with 4K-ready LED LCD displays
  • A sharp and visually accurate 180° field-of-view creates an immersive driving environment
  • State-of-the-art simulation software delivers sharp visuals to enhance learning objectives
  • Enhanced graphics engine capability enables population of more vehicles and objects per scenario
  • Users can choose from a variety of predefined vehicle configurations using different combinations of tractor, trailer, engine, transmission, axle, etc.
  • Force-loaded steering provides real-time feedback to augment muscle memory in situations such as a tire blowing, hitting the curb or sloshing liquid loads.
    • SmartNode II force-loaded steering coupled with advanced vehicle dynamics that have been validated against OEM test track performance data provides real-time feedback to the driver.
  • Multi-geared transmission provides economical shifting instruction that reduces equipment wear and tear.
  • Commercial vehicle cab creates a realistic learning environment that includes a driving seat, steering wheel, brake, clutch and accelerator pedals to enhance realism and achieve better retention.
  • Realistic commercial vehicle transmission.
  • Realistic vehicle dynamics including 21 DOF vehicle model.

Testimonials

The simulators are a safe and cost-effective training tool to get our equipment operators thinking about the upcoming winter season [and] give our new operators hands-on experience that they otherwise wouldn’t get until the snow is on the ground.
Billie Miller
Virginia DOT Safety Officer
Has the training been beneficial? With regard to operator safety, I can tell you that this winter DPW has logged about 34,000 hours in the snow program, probably 90 percent of it driver time, and we haven’t had a single reported accident since the training.
Tom Henderson
Washington D.C. Solid Waste Administrator
I have not had one truck in the shop for transmission repair since 2006. We used to have a lot of transmission repairs from teaching people how to shift the gears out on the training runway. Now that students learn to shift on a simulator first, we don’t have them grinding gears and tearing up transmissions.
