The latest step towards excellence: Track to Safety

A railway company with no simulation facility to train its drivers or plans to introduce one, is almost inconceivable nowadays.

The airline industry was a pioneer in this regard and railway companies adopted too this type of training around 10 years ago and since then simulators have gradually adapted to the sector's specific needs and features in the various countries.

LANDER has been working with rail operators worldwide for over 15 years to develop the most up-to-date simulation training systems for drivers, controllers etc.

This expertise places LANDER in the ideal position to promote improvements and new training solutions for its exacting customers.

This is why LANDER decided to launch a new solution called Track to Safety a few years ago. This solution aimed at train drivers is based on gamification technology where the main aim is to reinforce safety and training beyond a simulator by using motivation techniques.

LANDER identified train drivers as the perfect group for these techniques given the vital role they play in ensuring safety.

Their work has changed enormously over the years and driving a train today has more to do with providing excellent customer service than mere mechanics. This entails a major change of mentality for a specific job where messages or information conveyed by motivation techniques can help a company better align itself with its objectives.

Train drivers need to be prepared to act appropriately in degraded and emergency conditions which luckily do not occur often. They must therefore be prepared both technically and mentally for precisely these critical occasions.

Train drivers therefore deserve to have operators and technology companies such as LANDER doing all they can to provide the tools to assist with their training and help them improve day after day.
