Jakarta. The operator of Indonesia’s first
high-speed train has installed a driving
simulator carrying the latest technology
at Tegalluar Railroad Depot in Bandung,
West Java.
"All recruits for high-speed train drivers
will be trained in this simulator
periodically to get them accustomed to
high-speed train operation, which is a
new technology in Indonesia,” KCIC
Corporate Secretary Rahadian Ratry said
in a recent statement.
“If they are considered qualified and
capable, the next training will use the
actual EMU (electric multiple units),” he
added.
The simulator simulates operational
conditions, dynamic performance, handling,
and traction and braking characteristics of the
actual KCICAF400 high-speed train that will
serve the route between Bandung and
Jakarta.
Any trainee will spend 30 minutes inside the
simulator per session, the same amount of
time the train will take to travel between
Jakarta and Bandung.
It has a hydraulic system beneath the floor to
recreate the movements and vibrations of the
actual train during traveling.
High-speed train driver candidates are
currently being trained at the Indonesian
Railway Polytechnic in Madiun, East Java,
Rahadian said.
