5 Scenario Description: AP-1 5

6 AP-1 Actors : Benefits of a Simulation Platform Higher Availability of the Installations.. Higher Reliability over the operation. Availability to create procedure to assure the security. Better quality of service. Higher control, during the project life cycle. More Evaluation Tools. More consensus in the solutions. Validation processes anticipation. Owner Auditor / Consultant Road Users Provider Operator Higher Stability. Resources Optimization. Risk reduction. Better quality in the solution implanted. Better professionalism in operation. Less impact in the opening. Better software and configuration control version. Less road intrusion during Tests, Training 6 6

In all cases the training course must be of sufficient duration and be progressed under permanent supervision followed by a final validation. Another possible way to train operating staff is by the use of a simulator. Initially, the candidate should read and assimilate the operators manual and the necessary parts of functional analysis of the system. After this, he/she passes one week (or more) at a simulator becoming proficient with the controls but not operating any real system. 16
