Economical – efficient – tested: Railways are faced with resource problems time and again, making locomotive driver training on simulators indispensable. KNDS Deutschland provides a realistic solution for this. The product range extends from simple console simulators to full simulators, stationary or mobile, with or without a motion system.
How realistic can a simulator be?
Practically perfect, as shown by the astonishing behavior of students in simulator training sessions. The friendly raised hand to greet a supposed colleague is living proof that the atmosphere created by the simulator imparts an almost real feeling of reality.
