Runway Sweeper and Airport Snow Plough Simulators
Prepare your snow removal crews for the snow season!
CYBERDRIVE Runway Sweeper and Airport Snow Plough Simulators provide an advanced, cost-effective solution for airports looking to enhance operational readiness while reducing training costs.
Traditional on-the-job snow removal training faces significant challenges, including rising fuel prices, environmental and safety concerns, and the wear and tear of increasingly expensive vehicles. It also offers limited opportunities for realistic, repeatable practice under varied weather conditions. Simulator-based training eliminates these constraints, allowing operators to build and maintain proficiency in a safe, controlled, and fully repeatable environment without disrupting airport operations or incurring unnecessary costs.
ThoroughTec has unmatched expertise and experience in accurately simulating OEM vehicles and creating virtual airport environments, which together allow you to screen prospective operators, develop and maintain skills or hone operational tactics and techniques
“Our snow removal simulators reduce equipment wear, lower operational costs and improve operator readiness for emergency conditions.”
Accurate Vehicle Replication
Runway Sweeper and Airport Snow Plough Simulators accurately simulate your real snow removal vehicles. Every physical attribute and performance characteristic is exhaustively researched so that the look, feel and performance of the simulated machine is almost indistinguishable from the real vehicle. This attention to detail is essential to achieving a direct transfer of skills learned in the simulator to the actual vehicle and is the cornerstone of our high-fidelity simulation architecture.
Customised Virtual Airports
Virtual airport environments for Runway Sweepers and Airport Snow Ploughs are meticulously modelled to replicate real-world locations and conditions in exceptional detail. Whether it’s a large international hub or a regional airport, every runway, taxiway, parking bay and service road is recreated to mirror the layout and operational characteristics of your actual airport, ensuring that each training scenario reflects the true challenges faced on the airfield.
These highly detailed virtual worlds enable snow removal crews to familiarise themselves with their specific airport layouts and snow-clearing routes in a safe, controlled setting. The result is a realistic, immersive training environment that enhances confidence, efficiency, and safety during critical winter operations
Comprehensive Training and Evaluation
CYBERDRIVE Runway Sweeper and Airport Snow Plough Simulators feature an integrated suite of powerful and intuitive training tools, allowing instructors to create highly customised exercises. Operator behaviour is monitored in real time and automatically recorded and analysed for post-mission performance reporting. Additionally, real-time coaching is facilitated through an in-session situational visualisation and messaging system, whilst debriefing takes place around the dynamic 3D After-Action Review (AAR) system.
Any time. Any day.
Prepare for the snow season early! Train according to your schedule 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, irrespective of current weather conditions, without taking actual snow removal vehicles out of service or disrupting flight operations.
Control your weather
Modify time of day, visibility and weather conditions at your will to prepare both new and seasoned operators for the snow season.
Train as an individual or team
Train your operators in runway clearance procedures and improve snow clearing efficiency by learning critical snow removal routes and sequences as a team with AI vehicles or if networked, with other snow removal operators.
Turn competency into proficiency
Learn the basics of machine operation through to more refined operating techniques to operate safely and clear snow faster.
Train for emergencies
Prepare your operators for possible emergencies and faults such as tyre failures, brake failures, engine faults and engine fires.
Monitor, coach, debrief
View and monitor exercise parameters and scoring. Provide instruction and activate training aids. Debrief with comprehensive reports and After-Action-Review.
