Haul Trucks

Highly efficient and effective training is therefore realised on the system with no loss of production and no danger of accidents, even in the most complex of emergency situations.

All aspects of the drivers loading, hauling and dumping operations are continuously monitored and recorded by the simulation system, including adherence to safety procedures, response to emergency situations and failures, driving techniques and productivity. These performance reports together with the instructors after-action review capability provide a complete training and evaluation system.

The system is delivered standard with a highly realistic, operating open pit mine world in which to operate. This simulated 3D mine comes complete with artificially intelligent shovels, excavators, dozers and other support equipment, together with pit, dump and crusher areas.
All simulated vehicle behaviour dynamics are based on detailed mathematical models that use vehicle manufacturer specifications to provide accurate behavioural realism. As a result, full loading, hauling, reversing and dumping capability is included with each haul truck simulation.
Exercises may be configured for various training options, including different loads, loading methods, weather conditions, night driving, sub-system failures and advanced emergency situations.

The simulated cab accurately replicates the interior of the actual vehicle. The student operates from a driver's seat, surrounded by instruments and controls positioned at ergonomically correct locations. The drivers interface is accurate down to steering and braking systems, lights, horn, indicators, pedals and gauges.

The effective training of operators of complex mining equipment entrenches safety and optimises production tonnage. The haul truck fleet is the life blood of surface mining operations and its safe and efficient operation is essential to mine profitability. The CYBERMINE range of haul truck simulators promote safety of operation and attain consistently high levels of operator efficiency by using state-of-the-art simulator training techniques.
