Improve Yard Safety and Expense with Simulation
Educate yard personnel in best practices without slowing yard operations or damaging equipment. PST Yard simulation tools provide significant operational gains by:
- Eliminating fuel/locomotive expenses from OJT
- Reducing/eliminating broken knuckles
- Establish best radio communication practices
- Teaching/re-enforcing best safety practices
- Standardizing on-demand training across the company
Conductor Training: PST training can be specific to your industrial or switch yard location and operations. All performance is recorded and logged to the Learning Management System (LMS) of your choice. Multiple, pre-existing scenarios available for immediate use and customization with available Trainer Station. Either full-size locomotive or portable desktop simulators can be used for the type of environment you have. Radio dialogue can be modified to your standard processes.
RCO/OCU Training: Remote Control Operator training includes actual OCU control hardware along with desktop simulator. Training can be expanded to full-size monitors for more realistic experience. Pre-existing scenarios including RCO initialization and setup or training specified by your operation can be used and logged to LMS services.
Distributed Power: Have yard personnel practice linking/unlinking, set-out, suspend modes, and various trouble shooting practices.
Most training is self-proctored meaning one-on-one trainer to student is not required, freeing up personnel for other work.
