Revolutionising Heavy Vehicle Training

Introducing the First-Ever Heavy Vehicle Driving Simulator to the Australian Oil and Gas Industry

Simulator Revolutionises Training in Oil & Gas Transport

The Australian Oil and Gas industry is set to transform with the introduction of an advanced heavy vehicle driving simulator. This technology revolutionizes training for heavy vehicle operators, enhancing safety and efficiency. The simulator offers a realistic environment where drivers can develop skills without real-world risks. By simulating challenging scenarios, from adverse weather to complex tasks, it prepares drivers for any situation. This innovation reduces accidents and fosters a competent, confident workforce, boosting productivity and operational excellence in the industry.

New Driver Simulator Technology

Elite Driver has teamed up with Coho Resources to introduce the first ever heavy vehicle driving simulator to the Australian Oil and Gas industry.

Problem:

Still too many high potential vehicle incidents occurring across the Australian land oil and gas industry.

Challenge:

Explore new ways to improve driver performance and reduce the risk of vehicle accidents.

Result:

Introduction of the Elite HV1 Heavy Vehicle Simulator.

Status:

The HV1 simulator is currently setup at the Coho office in Roma QLD as of March 4, 2024 and is being used to train new and existing heavy vehicle drivers. Highlights and areas of focus:

To date, over 55 drivers trained on HV1 simulator
Training focus on hill ascents/descent and rollover awareness
Future training modules on hazards; animal crossings, tyre blowout, adverse weather and defensive driving.
Second light vehicle simulator unit expected before end of FY24
Mobile classroom will be available in first half of FY25

Elevating Standards
in Driver Training

Heavy Vehicle Simulator

Hardware

Modeled after standard truck cabin with real truck parts for touch and feel.

Range of truck models, transmissions, and loads.

Three-axis motion platform.

Large 180-degree high-resolution visual display.

Courseware

Integrated training scenarios.

Objective driver evaluation and assessment.

Video capture and detailed reporting

Benefits

Ability to create and train drivers in high-risk situations without placing them in actual high-risk situations; hill runaways, animal crossings, tyre blowouts, adverse weather.

Objective driver assessment takes the subjectivity of different driver coaches out of the equation.

Financial efficiency of training in a simulator instead of a real truck on the road with associated costs of an instructor; fuel, insurance and wear & tear.
