Twinup XR · Hybrid Driving Simulator

Feel the heavy vehicle in your hands, the comfort in your seat.

Moza direct-drive steering, a 2-DOF motion seat and a virtual cockpit worked with VR hands — a risk-free platform where every move becomes telemetry for the driving report card.

Overview

A hybrid training platform for bus drivers.

The Bus Training Simulator is a hybrid training platform. It is designed to take drivers' driving competence, passenger-safety standards and reflexes in a crisis to the highest level in a risk-free virtual environment.

It brings driving dynamics, traffic psychology and emergency management together to raise drivers' operational awareness. Accident-avoidance manoeuvres that are dangerous and costly to try in the real world can be tested safely here.

01

Driving dynamics

Heavy-vehicle steering, torque and response time on a Moza direct-drive wheel; acceleration, braking and bends felt through the 2-DOF seat.

02

Traffic psychology

A living city — pedestrians, crossings, signals, parked and moving cars — trains the driver's awareness of everyone around the bus.

03

Emergency management

Sudden hazards — a pedestrian on the zebra, a car pulling out — measure the driver's reaction time without putting anyone at risk.

04

Passenger safety standards

Harsh moves are felt immediately in the seat and scored as a Passenger Comfort index, so smooth driving becomes a habit.

Hardware integration

Visual depth meets haptic and kinetic feedback.

What sets the Bus Training Simulator apart is how seamlessly the visual depth of the virtual world merges with haptic and kinetic feedback from physical hardware.

01Physical

Moza Direct Drive steering wheel

The steering-wheel turns, torque resistance and response time of heavy vehicles are simulated one to one by Moza's high-performance Direct Drive motors. The driver feels the tyres on the asphalt, the kerb edges and how hard a heavy vehicle is to manoeuvre directly in the hands.

02Physical

Moza pedal set

Throttle and brake are physical Moza pedals, so acceleration and braking are modulated with the feet exactly as in the vehicle — and every input is logged.

03Physical

2-DOF motion seat

Driving physics is transferred straight to the motion platform. Acceleration, harsh braking, speed bumps and centrifugal force in bends are reflected through the seat's pitch and roll axes, so the driver instantly notices harsh moves that endanger passenger comfort.

04Virtual

Virtual cockpit & VR hands

All bus controls other than the physical wheel and pedals are virtual. The driver uses the buttons in the virtual cockpit with VR hands: opens and closes the doors, signals, runs the wipers and controls the cabin lighting.

05Data

Live telemetry

Every move the driver makes in the virtual world is recorded as live telemetry and transferred to the central web panel for analysis.

Training scenarios

One bus line, every skill a driver needs.

The scenarios below are the ones the 3D tour above plays out on its roundabout, arms and bus bay.

01

The full line in first person

Through the headset the driver works a complete bus cab: the roundabout, a speed bump, signals and docking at the stop, then the doors open for boarding passengers — every step logged.

VR headsetFull cab
02

Heavy-vehicle manoeuvring & kerbs

A tight roundabout at bus speed: lock-to-lock steering, torque resistance and the truck apron felt through the direct-drive wheel.

Moza DDTorque
03

Speed bumps & harsh braking

Taking a bump too fast or braking hard shows up at once as a pitch jolt in the seat and a drop in the passenger comfort score.

2-DOFComfort
04

Stop approach

Pulling into the bus bay with the signal on and stopping close to the kerb; the approach distance is recorded for every stop.

Kerb distanceSignal
05

Signalling & cabin operations

Doors, turn signals, wipers and cabin lighting are pressed in the virtual cockpit with VR hands, as part of the drive.

VR handsVirtual cockpit
06

Accident avoidance

A car pulls out of a side street or a pedestrian steps onto the zebra: braking and swerving are practised safely, and the reaction time is measured.

Reaction timeRisk-free
07

Rain & visibility

A shower begins while the bus waits to enter the roundabout: the driver switches on wipers and lighting from the virtual cockpit before pulling away.

Performance measurement & web panel

Every move becomes telemetry.

Throughout training, every move the driver makes in the virtual environment is recorded as live telemetry and sent to the central web panel, where managers and instructors analyse it in detail. The objective metrics obtained are used in recruitment, periodic evaluations and targeted training plans for the areas that need work.
