Public transportation or personal vehicle preferences are changing on the advantage of public transportation in urban and rural areas through the investments made. Especially in bigger cities, 50% of motor vehicle transportations are made by public transportation, and the busses are the most preferred vehicles in and between the cities. According to data, it is seen that accident with land vehicles involvement are increasing every other year. Safety is essential for transportation along with infrastructure investments. Millions of people use public transportation every day in big cities and 35% percent of public transportation is provided by busses. Therefore, personnel capabilities are especially important and there is a need of qualified personnel in large numbers. Simsoft develops bus driving training simulators in order to reflect simulation technologies’ benefits to bus driving trainings and to train qualified personnel efficiently, with quality and cost effectively. Developed simulator systems provide safe bus driving and driver behavioral trainings. Also they provide safe parking, approaching and leaving, passenger drop-off and pick-up, fuel economy providing for bus drivers on generic lands through various scenarios. Cabin with monitor, half cabin, and full cabin are developed in accordance with client’s requirements.

Cabin with monitor

In cabin system with at least 3 LCD monitor systems, system reality can be increased by 2 DOF/3 DOF mobile platform support. Requested vehicle’s console unit (indicators, buttons, and controllers), wheel, pedals, and gearshift are being used as hardware.

Half Cabin

Half cabin bus simulator consists of widescreen available screen system as a difference from cabin with monitor. It is supported by 2 DOF/3 DOF platforms for mobility, and real vehicle’s driving parts such as indicators, active/passive buttons, controllers, handbrake, gearshift, and pedals are being used for accomplishing their own functions similarly.

Full Cabin

Full cabin simulators are the systems that provide full real car hardware and training of a real car experience for personnel. Oval screen system and 2 DOF/3 DOF platforms are being used to create most mathematically and physically realistic environment possible.
