AERIAL WORK PLATFORM SIMULATOR – “IT FEELS LIKE THE REAL THING!”



View Full Screen

Experience the actual feeling of an elevated basket without leaving the ground.
Navigate through real-world scenarios while gaining control, familiarization and
understanding of AWP behavior. A completely immersive experience that ensures
strong, learning outcome retention. Experience the AWP Simulator for yourself.


AWP SIMULATOR


AERIAL WORK PLATFORM SIMULATOR

The AWP simulator bridges the gap between theory and competency for trainees.
The trainee can experience virtual operation of an AWP to become familiar with
the controls, best practices, and the machine’s behaviors.

The AWP VR Simulator provides several benefits to your training program:

 1. Trainees gain control familiarization and an understanding of an AWP’s
    behavior before their first experience on the real equipment. This practice
    reduces anxiety for students who are not acclimatized to working at height
    and provides an operational foundation.
 2. Operational metrics give instructors a sense of how trainees will operate
    the equipment, highlighting potential problem areas prior to hands-on
    evaluation.
 3. New operators experience navigating real-world scenarios that show how to
    avoid the most common AWP incidents. The engaging nature of VR ensures that
    the learning outcomes of these scenarios are strongly retained.

Integration of this module completes the path from new trainee to operator while
further reducing potential incidents and ensuring trainee competency.


KEY FEATURES:

 * Simulated motion allows the operator to experience the actual feeling of an
   elevated basket.
 * Replica control panel for accurate muscle memory development.
 * Virtual Reality immerses the learner in the environment and closes the gap
   between real-world operation and training.


LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

The learner has the ability to experience situations that would not be practical
or safe to demonstrate in the real-world:

 * Navigating tight corners. Prevents equipment damage and personnel injury due
   to common basket collisions.
 * Understanding the directional arrows. AWP controls are relative to the
   chassis, not the basket – new operators often overlook directional arrows to
   orientate the controls, causing movement in undesired directions.
 * Complex basket positioning. The simulator includes scenarios otherwise
   impractical for safe hands-on training, including overhead hazards,
   powerlines, and steep inclines.
 * Avoiding hazardous placement. The simulator forces the trainee to position
   the AWP according to best practices, avoiding common shortcuts and reducing
   the risk of real-world tip-over incidents.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Boomlifts result in 70% of Aerial-related construction deaths in the United
States (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data).

Causes of incidents resulting in death:

 * Half of the falls from boom lifts involved being ejected from the bucket
   after being struck by vehicles, cranes, or crane loads, or by falling
   objects, or when a lift suddenly jerked.
 * Two-thirds of the deaths from collapses/tip-overs of boom lifts occurred when
   the bucket cable or boom broke or the bucket fell; almost one-third were due
   to tip-overs.
 * Half of the boom lift electrocutions involved body contact with overhead
   power lines, mostly involving electricians or electrical power installers and
   repairers. Over one-third of the electrocutions involved an overhead power
   line contacting the lift boom or bucket.
 * In most of the caught in/between deaths, a worker was caught between the
   bucket edge and objects such as roof joists or beams while repositioning the
   bucket.

(Deaths From Aerial Lifts: CPWR – The Center for Construction Research and
Training)

What are the three most common issues you see with a new AWP operator?

 * OC (Operator Candidate) not knowing what the controls do, not taking the time
   to learn them and their control markings. They do not understand the system
   has a built-in lag and will not respond immediately. This would include
   expecting it to start or stop as soon as they expect it to. OC’s do not fully
   understand the connection of the deadman foot pedal and the controls
 * OC’s are caught off guard while driving due to the cantilever effect of the
   boom. This can be while driving over a bump or turning too fast and being
   thrown off the deadman foot pedal.
 * Not understanding the importance of proper driving configuration. Either the
   platform is too high or too low. They do not understand the concept of ABL
   [Aerial Boom Lift] steering. They have a tendency to over correct their
   steering. It takes practice to drive a unit in a straight line.

(Response from James “RED” Ronduen – Corporate Master Safety Trainer United
Rentals)

THE AWP VR SIMULATOR SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES AERIAL HAZARDS, BY

 * Ensuring trainees complete scenarios through the application of best
   practices, which reduces the possibility of ejection or tip-over. Goals must
   be achieved by reaching over hazardous slopes, lowering the boom before
   driving to a new location, and navigating rough terrain correctly and from an
   appropriate angle.
 * Placing the trainee in a situation where they do not know their current
   orientation and must use the arrow guides on the equipment to ensure the
   controls will move them in the desired direction. This scenario replicates a
   hazardous situation that can happen after hours of work and distraction in
   the field.
 * Navigating an area where the trainee must be aware of real-world hazards,
   especially power lines and unsafe ground conditions.
 * Understanding complex navigation scenarios where the length of the AWP’s boom
   can result in collisions, entrapment, or pinch hazards.


HARDWARE FEATURES:

OCULUS RIFT HEADSET

Full immersion virtual reality headset

 * 2160×1200 (1080×1200 per eye), 90 Hz display
 * 100-degree field of view
 * 360 degree, low latency, positional tracking

SMALL FOOTPRINT

(4’ by 8’ including tracking volume) The small footprint of the simulator allows
for installation in any location where training occurs, including multiple
simulators in a classroom style environment.

Compared to other construction, mining, or aviation simulators, the AWP’s sim’s
size greatly reduces shipping and installation costs.

REPLICA CONTROLLER

The control panel accurately recreates the layout, feel, and labeling of the
real-world Aerial Work Platform.

The controller is modular, allowing for ease of servicing as well as
customization to different models of equipment.

Ready handholds, which are replicated in the virtual experience, provide comfort
and stability to the operator.

UNIVERSAL MOTION BASE

(750lb capacity, 350lb operator limit)

The simulator is designed around a universal motion base which contains the
primary electronics and 4 high speed electric actuators.

This design allows for quick disassembly and conversion to other configurations,
for example, a Standing Forklift Simulator.
