This presentation will discuss a unique approach to mine equipment operator training. Equipment training using simulators reduces accidents and provides efficiency for the mine operations, improving the produc- 6 www.haulageandloading.com tivity and cost savings for mining companies. Typically, mining simulators can train one operator at a time for particular operations, whether it be haul truck training, shovel operator training or other equipment operators. This paper will discuss a new concept of coordinated training. This approach allows the operators of two or more vehicles to be fully integrated, immersed, and coordinated within a training scenario. Using multiple simulators, one instructor can train several operators at a time.
