New Simulators for S-train drivers

The scope of the Contract is to provide a new, full-stack Solution regarding Desktop simulators for S-train drivers for DSB to implement in the S-train driver Education Program. The Solution is expected to operate until the new S-trains (driverless) have been implemented, including a period of mixed traffic. However, the scope of this Contract is only the education of drivers for the current S-train type.

The new Desktop Simulator Solution is to be used to train new S-train drivers in basic Education, as well as yearly follow-up training for all S-train drivers. The Simulated Environment of the Solution shall prioritize functional fidelity and be able to simulate part of the infrastructure (as Simulated Train Front View), parts of the train (as Simulated Control and Instrument Panel) and parts of the training material (as Simulated Training and Exercise Scenarios) with the functional and physical fidelity defined in appendix 3, Requirement specification. The Solution shall also support DSB’s creation of own Simulated Training Exercises and Scenarios.

The Solution should cover the development of a full-stack Solution of Software and Hardware in collaboration with the Customer, possibilities for Further Development, as well as the Support and Maintenance of the Solution and related Services for the duration of the Contract period. DSB aims at implementing the new Solution in the DSB Education Program for courses starting by April 2027. To achieve this, DSB aims for (Partial) Delivery of the required Solution early 2027 which at least covers certain prioritized requirements (see Appendix A, C, 1 and 3), depending on the tenderer’s capacity.

The plan and scope of the tender is informed by previous market dialogue (see prior information notice). DSB is open to different delivery models, simulation methods and timelines as reflected in the tender material (cf. appendix 1 and 3) and tender procedure.
