Train Driver Training
Train Control Consoles
Class-specific driver training, mobile or permanently installed.
REISER develops customer-specific driver's desk simulation consoles for regular, safe and energy-efficient training of train drivers. The driver's desk, controls and simulation scope are adapted to the respective vehicle class and to the requirements of the operator.
The consoles are available as a mobile solution for changing training locations or as a permanently installed, motion-capable version for training centers.

Versions
Two designs, one training objective
Whether training at changing locations or as a fixed installation in the training center: REISER Train Control Consoles reproduce the driver's desk and the relevant operating sequences of the respective vehicle class. The technical configuration is adapted to the vehicle, the training objective and the existing infrastructure.
Consoles / Versions
Mobile
Train Control Console
A quickly transportable driver's desk simulation console for flexible training locations. The mobile solution brings training to where the drivers are trained, without a permanently installed console at every site.
Fixed
Motion-ready
A permanently installed driver's desk simulation console for training centers. The version can be prepared for integration on a motion platform, adding physical motion and acceleration cues to the training.
Overview
Driver training without interrupting rail operations
The Train Control Console creates a protected space for regular, true-to-life train driver training. The driver's desk, controls and software are adapted to the vehicle class and equipment of the operator, for safety training, procedures and energy-efficient driving.
The challenge
Train crews have to train regularly without interrupting ongoing rail operations. At the same time, training content has to be adaptable to different vehicle classes, equipment levels and operating conditions, at a fixed site or mobile across several locations.
The solution
REISER combines class-specific hardware with an adaptable simulation environment. Mobile and fixed Train Control Consoles enable repeatable training for driving, safety and efficiency tasks. The stationary version can additionally be planned for a motion platform.

FAQ
Typical questions about the Train Control Consoles, from vehicle class to integration.
Is the Train Control Console available for our vehicle class?
REISER develops the driver's desk simulation console specifically for each vehicle class. The driver's desk, controls, indications and simulation scope are adapted to the vehicle, the equipment and the training objective of the operator.
Is the solution available as a mobile or a permanently installed version?
Both are possible. The mobile Train Control Console is designed for transport and changing training locations. The fixed version is permanently installed in a training center and can be prepared for a motion platform.
Can the console be integrated into existing training infrastructure?
Yes. Integration is planned around the existing rooms, interfaces, training processes and, where applicable, motion components. The specific system design is defined on a project basis.
Which training content can be covered?
The console supports class-specific driver training as well as safety and procedures training. Energy-efficient driving and recurrent training content can also be part of the solution.
What data is needed for the implementation?
That depends on the vehicle class, the equipment, the training scope and the chosen version. Typically, information on the driver's desk, controls, indications, vehicle behavior, procedures and existing interfaces is required. REISER agrees the data requirement with the operator at the start of the project.
