IRIS

Cooperative Competitive Distributed Simulator

IRIS is a Training Station based on Real-Time Driving Simulation supporting network multioperator traning. IRIS simulates vehicles and handling equipment improving safety and supporting high reality and fidelity.

Use of simulation for training and education, guarantees strategic advantages; the innovative IRIS technologies allows the diffuse the use of Simulation, also operating from PC, supporting modular and tailored solutions.

In effect IRIS simulators reduce drastically use of real equipment (obviously they cannot completely substitute) for training and education; this guarantee:

  • Reduced Operative Costs operating on Simulators
  • Improved Availability of Real Equipment and Vehicles with reduced interference with Ordinary Operations
  • Reduction of Damages and benefits on the Overall Maintenance
  • Improvement in Driver Safety and Reduction of Accident Risk
  • Standard and Organized Procedures for Training and Education
  • Explicit Education to Operators of the Technical Operative Limits
  • Training and Education in Critical Conditions, impossible in real world
  • Support to Evaluation/Introduction of New Operative Procedures and New Processes
  • Cooperative Training in Concurrent Operations of Multiple Drivers
IRIS TRUCK supports:
  • Driving in different configuration (Engine, Truck and Trailer etc.)
  • Parking Operations
  • Trailer Connection
  • Interaction Reach Stackers, Transtainers, etc.
  • Respect of Driving Regulation
  • Driving on specific Paths (Highways, Steepest Ascent Streets, etc.)
  • Different Lorries types and characteristics

  • Import/Export operation from Ship holds and baies
  • Container Operations on Trucks
  • Container Operations with Straddle Carriers
  • Container Operations with Transtainer with common interexchange areas
  • Support and Special Operations on the Ship
  • Crane Movements and Procedures
IRIS RAIL TRANSTAINER supports:
  • Crane Movements and Procedures
  • Container Operations on Trucks
  • Container Operations with Straddle Carriers
  • Container Operations with Portainers with common interexchange areas
  • Container Operations with Trains
IRIS WHEEL TRANSTAINER supports:
  • Crane Movements and Procedures
  • Driving on the Yard and on areas dedicated to Transtainer Operations
  • Container Operations on Trucks
  • Container Operations with Straddle Carriers
IRIS BRIDGE CRANE supports:
  • Crane Movements and Procedures
  • Container Operations on Trucks
  • Concurrent operations avoiding Interference with other Bridge Crane

  
IRIS allows the Trainees to complete the preliminary preparation for use of new equipment and vehicles in total safety; the IRIS maximes the effectiveness of Trainers.

In addition this system supports also Education on Technical and Operative Procedures as well as support to Logistics Flows Reorganization and Policies and Regulation redefinintion.

IRIS Simulators support training in different environments:


  • Operative Scenario (Urban, Construction Yard, Terminal, Highways and Country Roads)
  • Weather Conditions (Rain, Fog, Ground Characteristics, Wind, Light Conditions, etc.)
  • Maneuvring Operation (loading/unloading, transfer, parking etc.)
  • Technical Parameters (vehicle reaction on different condition, dynamic behaviour of heavy material)
  • Performance Measurement and Report (trajectories, productivity, safety level, collision report etc.)
IRIS are able to be interconnected in order to activate external supervision station for Trainer and/or Classroom overview; in addition IRIS supports the multiuser training in cooperative operations (i.e. IRIS TRUCK and IRIS REACH STACKER exchanging Containers) and/or concurrent (severalIRIS TRUCK operating as link between the dock and the yard in container terminal).

Each single IRIS station can be tailored based on specific requirements of the Users with solutions moving from ultra-light Laptop station till real vehicle mock-up (i.e. Driving Truck Box ) and dynamic full motion, with intermediate configuration based on PC.

IRIS solution allows to integrated different input/output devices supporting cost scalability based on fidelity level requested for each specific case.

IRIS driving position is supported by Computer Screen, Projectors; in effect IRIS provides different solutions: just frontal view, ample driving screen (135 degrees) or 360 coverage.

IRIS has been developed in cooperation with Leading World Excellence Centers (McLeod Institute for Simulation Science International, Liophant Simulation etc.); this cooperation allowed the creation of a new generation of simulators based on HLA (High Level Architecture), here applied for the first time in training outside of Military sector.

The IRIS Development Group controls completely the simulation technologies so it is possible to proceed to specific customization and additional developments based on User Requirements (Driving Education in Schools, New Logistics Terminal Virtual Tour , Terminal Flow and Procedure Analysis , Road Accident Analysis, etc).

These Solutions are integrated by other IRIS models devoted to Military sector: IRIS Main Battle Tank , IRIS Helicopter , IRIS Platoon , IRIS Plane .
