BKV Budapest reaffirms its commitment to simulation

BKV Budapest recently inaugurated its new training room with LANDER driving simulators. The company recently added a simulator for the Tatra T5C5K model to the existing CAF Urbos 3 tram simulator delivered by LANDER several years ago. The Tatra T5C5K tram is the most frequently used on the lines in the Hungarian capital with a fleet of more than 150 vehicles, which explains BKV's interest in acquiring a driving simulator for this model.

The addition of this new tram simulator doubles BKV's training capacity with simulators as it strives to respond to the burgeoning demand for training within the company for both new and experienced drivers. Thanks to the scalable design of LANDER simulators, this new simulator has been integrated within the existing simulation architecture, making it possible to control and monitor both driving stations from a single instructor station. This scalability also means that the new simulator can make use of the tram lines developed for the first simulator and of all the existing incidents and functions. Furthermore, two new real lines in Budapest have been added for this project, extending the tram network available in the driving simulators and making it possible to offer training for very specific sections on which BKV is interested in working.

We would like to take this opportunity to extend our thanks to BKV for its longstanding trust in LANDER and applaud its desire to strive daily to improve the training of its employees.

We will continue to work together to improve BKV's training so that it can remain a global benchmark.
