TranSim

Truck Driving Simulator

The L3Harris TranSim™ provides hands-on experiential training for commercial vehicle drivers, offering experience without risks to people or equipment.

Benefits

Simulation training allows the practice of critical decision-making skills and reinforces positive decision-making, situation, and spatial awareness in a realistic, risk-free environment.

Practical Training

Enhances initial driver training, periodic training, and driver assessments allowing you to conduct practical real-world training on different terrains and for different road and atmospheric conditions.

Reduce Accidents

Our customers have significantly reduced preventable accidents and the severity of the accidents.

Improve Fuel Efficiency

Lower operational costs through better fuel efficiency. Realize fuel savings through better fuel management training.

Reduces Vehicle Costs

Minimize maintenance and damage to company-owned vehicles. Training on the simulator keeps your vehicles on the road and earning revenue.

Improve Driver Retention

Complete, consistent, objective feedback on performance gives drivers the skills and confidence to drive more safely and efficiently.

Flexible Delivery Options

Include fixed-site installation in a building or fully mobile training unit in a trailer or truck. Trailer options are available to outfit in a mobile driver training unit complete with an on-site classroom and instructors.

Best-in-class simulation-based training system for commercial truck drivers.

The modern, ergonomic design of the L3Harris TranSim™ driving simulator replicates a commercial vehicle driving compartment.

TranSim™ accurately simulates the vehicle’s physical and functional characteristics. It also adjusts to the size, weight, turning radius, tire, and suspension characteristics for each vehicle that it simulates.

Best-in-Class Simulator Features

Touchscreen interface for intuitively controlling the system settings and training scenarios.
Instructor operator station (IOS) included for effective management of training objectives, scenarios, and malfunction simulation.
Scenario difficulty can be adjusted to accommodate any experience level.
- Easily reproduce and rehearse unique driving situations.
Numerous scenarios covering a wide variety of training objectives.
Vehicle, autonomous traffic and environment libraries covering a wide variety of geographic settings and conditions.
After action review (AAR) and playback capability.
Collection and reporting of scoring data.
Performance assessment tools and replay/de-brief software enhance training effectiveness.
Our reconfigurable Glass Dash allows the TranSim™ to replicate different vehicle types (synthetic gauges and instrumentation giving greater flexibility and upgradability).
Change the weather conditions (rain, snow, ice, and fog); road/traffic environment to urban, suburban, rural, mountains, motorway and desert; and the lighting conditions to day, night or twilight.
The Glass Console allows the instructor control of the simulator via touch screen at the operator's console (OpCon) and gives operators simple and quick control to change vehicle type.

High Fidelity Visual System

High resolution visual display system with 4K-ready LED LCD displays
A sharp and visually accurate 180° field-of-view creates an immersive driving environment
State-of-the-art simulation software delivers sharp visuals to enhance learning objectives
Enhanced graphics engine capability enables population of more vehicles and objects per scenario

Modern, Realistic Emergency Vehicle Design

Users can choose from a variety of predefined vehicle configurations using different combinations of tractor, trailer, engine, transmission, axle, etc.
Force-loaded steering provides real-time feedback to augment muscle memory in situations such as a tire blowing, hitting the curb or sloshing liquid loads.
- SmartNode II force-loaded steering coupled with advanced vehicle dynamics validated against OEM test track performance data provides real-time feedback to the driver.
Multi-geared transmission provides economical shifting instruction that reduces equipment wear and tear.
Commercial vehicle cab creates a realistic learning environment that includes a driving seat, steering wheel, brake, clutch and accelerator pedals to enhance realism and achieve better retention.
Realistic commercial vehicle transmission.
Realistic vehicle dynamics including 21 DOF vehicle model.

Software & Vehicle Options

Numerous options are available to increase the capabilities of your simulator beyond its standard feature set. These options have been designed to provide specific sets of capabilities and meet the needs of specific requirements. Software options are sold per-IOS basis to reduce costs for those using multiple simulators.

Trucking Vehicles Expansion Package

The Trucking Vehicles Expansion Package significantly increases the number and types of drivable vehicles and related scenarios for use on your TranSim™ simulator.

Ready-Mix Concrete Trucks with Scenarios
Automotive Transport Hauler
Municipal Vehicles
Oversized Load Vehicle with Scenarios
Solid Waste Vehicle
Delivery Fleet Vehicles
Bus Vehicles Package

Snowplow Package

The optional Snowplow software package for TranSim™ includes training scenarios and vehicle combinations. This package is available with or without a set of hardware levers (see below). Includes introductory, intermediate, and advanced scenarios in either a snowy freeway or mountain-driving environment. The snow is visually cleared from the road by the snowplow, allowing the driver to check his progress. Two drivers can drive the advanced scenarios simultaneously in separate simulators for coordination and communications training between the lead- and following-driver. The vehicle combinations provided by the Snowplow package includes versions with front and right blades, front and left blades, wingblades, towplow, and automatic and manual versions of each.

Virtual Environments Package

The Virtual Environments software package provides several additional driving environments as well as some additional scenarios and drivable vehicles.

Desert Environment
Dirt Road Environment
Airport Environment
Indoor Trucking Course
Swamp Environment
Mountain Forest
Oil Field
Maritime Container Port
Coal Mine

International Options

Options are also available to enable the International use of your simulator. Contact us for more information about these options.

Testimonials

The simulators are a safe and cost-effective training tool to get our equipment operators thinking about the upcoming winter season [and] give our new operators hands-on experience that they otherwise wouldn’t get until the snow is on the ground.

Billie Miller
Virginia DOT Safety Officer

Has the training been beneficial? Concerning operator safety, I can tell you that this winter DPW has logged about 34,000 hours in the snow program, probably 90 percent of it driver time, and we haven’t had a single reported accident since the training.

Tom Henderson
Washington DC Solid Waste Administrator

I have not had one truck in the shop for transmission repair since 2006. We used to have a lot of transmission repairs from teaching people how to shift the gears out on the training runway. Now that students learn to shift on a simulator first, we don’t have them grinding gears and tearing up transmissions.
