The Academy is equipped with state of art train sub-systems Trouble
Shooting & Maintenance Simulators pertaining to the Rolling Stock
for the training of maintenance staff and Train Operators.
The academy has eleven independent simulators that help provide
maintenance training for different sub-systems of train such as the
Brakes, Air Supply, Door System, Auxiliary System, Traction System,
Train Air-Conditioning, Vehicle Control Circuit and Train Control
Management System (TCMS).
The academy is introducing nine more independent simulators for the
maintenance training for different sub-systems of train such as the
Bogie, PA/PIS, Gangway/Coupler, CI, SIV, UTO, HVAC, Gearbox and
Traction Motor.
The Trouble Shooting and Maintenance Simulators simulate all the
faults that appear in the metro train and are being used to train
the maintenance staff for quick and effective diagnosis of faults.
These simulators are also used to train the staff for replacement of
critical components in a 3D virtual environment.
All electrical circuits of the metro trains are completely simulated
with animations allowing the trainee to do a “What if” analysis on
any part of the vehicle sub-system.
e-learning provides a self-paced training of all subsystems for
basic and advance understanding of concepts with audio-visual
animations. This e-learning facilitates maintenance staff to know
the system working principle and technology used in train before
normal operation, circuit simulation, fault troubleshooting and
maintenance practice training.
Wall charts and other training aids will supplement the simulator in
transferring knowledge and skills to the staff. The Hi-tech and
state of the art simulators help in improved training effectiveness.
This is arguably the first time in India that such state of the art
technology is being used for maintenance training.
