Tatra Driving Simulator (TDS)

Zen TDS is an indoor system that transforms recruits into skilled drivers through various levels of complex exercises, in all kinds of terrain, visibility and weather conditions, using 3D computer-generated visuals.

The simulator has exercises for beginners as well as experienced drivers. It uses intelligent traffic models (ITM) to create realistic interactions with different traffic conditions.

Zen TDS replicates of the driver cabin, contains all the driver’s controls, indicators, viewing devices and instrument panels of the Tatra terrain vehicle.
