Developed by Virage Simulation, the AMTA owns two simulators; one that is based out of AMTA’s Rocky View office, and another that is based out of Edmonton’s office. These simulators are used for training and can be transported to off-site locations, as needed.

Simulation exposes drivers to various scenarios, allowing them to increase their confidence and hone their skills in a controlled environment. Various scenario modules allow for targeted, customized training for each driver.
The most critical component of a training simulator is the programmed training scenarios. Each scenario has specific goals and various challenges – from weather and road conditions to wildlife, to the behaviours of other road users.
The visual span of a simulator’s driver’s seat provides real-life perspective with a 180-degree forward field of view. Rear-view mirrors are built in and all visual representation is supported by LCD high resolution display technology.
The following programs are offered to meet your organization’s needs:
The simulator scenario designs are based on proven, applied principles. Lessons and evaluations will be performed under the guidance of a qualified instructor. Attention can be given to shifting, maneuvering in confined areas, optimizing vehicle performance and hazard recognition.
The most significant benefit of a simulated experience is the evaluation process by providing hands-on learning and immediate feedback.
To arrange simulator training at the AMTA office or in the field at a location of your choice, please contact: wss@amta.ca.
