  Rail has been used for over 400 years as a means of hauling wagon loads of ore from underground mines. Conventional underground mining operations still utilise the modern locomotive as an efficient and effective means of hauling blasted material over long stretches. The adequate preparation and training of locomotive operators in underground mining operations represents a significant and growing challenge to conventional mines world-wide.
The CYBERMINE locomotive simulator overcomes these challenges by immersing the operator in a fully interactive scenario within the safety of a controlled environment specifically designed for training and evaluation. The highly realistic 3D functional mine world is projected on three wide screen displays located about the locomotive cab, which is accurately replicated to provide all instruments and controls correctly positioned about the operator.
The simulated locomotive, including engine, optional hoppers and guard carriage, operates in a virtual mine world consisting of tunnels, rails, loading points, chutes, tipping areas, battery bay and workshop. Artificially intelligent locomotives, chutes, guard, miners and other such entities exist in the world in support of the operator’s training and evaluation process.
Simulated locomotive behavioural dynamics are based on detailed mathematical models to provide accurate realism. These advanced locomotive reality models calculate the complex interactions between engine, hoppers and tracks, even derailing the loco under extreme circumstances!
Simulator exercises may be configured to address various training requirements, including operations in areas of differing slopes, dealing with other vehicles and personnel in the tunnels, sub-system failures and advanced emergency situations.
The operator’s performance is continually monitored and recorded. These performance reports together with the instructor’s after-action review capability provide a complete training and evaluation system.
Highly efficient and effective training is therefore realised with no loss of production and no danger of accidents, even in the most complex of emergency situations to which the operator might be expected to respond.
