Ro-Ro Simulator

The Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO-RO) simulator allows the training of this type of machine, used for the normal operation of a container terminal, transfer, placing on trailers and tracto-trucks.

Main features

The simulator incorporates the following features:

• Start and stop sequence.
• 5th Wheel Mobility.
• Automatic gearbox.
• Response of the machine to the load.
• Stowage and unloading with different types of platforms and loads.
• Simulation of accidents with the load as falls or displacements.
• Load on deck of boat, with movement on ramps and different types of floor.
• Distribution of platforms by the terminal.

Equipment

• Cockpit located on platform with 6 degrees of freedom.
• Realistic control console.
• Real machine steering wheel.
• Accelerator and brake pedals.
• Instructor console with full control over the simulation.
• Real environment digital sound effects.
• Projection system with three high resolution screens (one frontal and two lateral screens).
• Movement platform.

Visualization system

• High quality images, generated in real time.
• 3D graphics.
• Picture textures from a real facility.
• External views displaying machine parameters.
• Stereoscopic mode.
• Heads-Up Display showing information about positions and machine parameters.

Special conditions

• Weather events: wind, rain, snow, etc.
• Working with artificial light.
• Realistic response to collisions.
• Working with badly loaded platforms.

It is important to highlight that it is easy and fast to deploy new types of exercises if it were necessary for any specification of a case in particular.

Reports at the instructor's console

• Date.
• Starting and ending time.
• Time length.
• Finished exercises.
• Control handling log.
• Velocity log.
• Collision log.
• Dangerous maneuvers log.
