The New Driving and Faults Solving Simulator for the Madrid Light Rail System

The new Light Rail’s Driving Simulator, which is presented in this paper, is equipped with the tools needed to train staff to drive the new rolling stock and control traffic on the new Madrid Light Rail lines ML1, ML2 and ML3. In the capacities granted to the set of simulators not only is the reproduction of the whole trains emphasized, but also the capacity to make training exercises with train failures (approximately 400 different types) or incidences (approximately 50 different types). Light Rail’s new Driving Simulator represents an enormous step forward in training capacity through simulated environments allowing, for the first time, comprehensive training for staff when carrying out joint exercises.
