Aveo offers Orion Driver, a high‑fidelity airside driving simulator that creates a digital twin of any airport for safe, repeatable training of ground‑vehicle operators. The platform provides realistic signage, lighting, weather effects, and pre‑programmed incident scenarios, while tracking performance metrics such as speed, proximity, and rule compliance and generating detailed driver reports. Integrated with AIRDAT’s Passport training system, it enables airports to certify and assess drivers efficiently without disrupting live runway operations.

Problem
Airside driver training traditionally relies on real‑world vehicle operation, which is costly, disrupts airport traffic, and carries safety risks. Limited access to live runways and variable conditions make it difficult to provide consistent, repeatable training and assessment for ground‑vehicle operators.
Solution
Orion Driver is a high‑fidelity airside driving simulator that creates a digital twin of any airport, including accurate signage, lighting, and infrastructure. The platform lets trainees practice on apron, taxiway and runway routes in a risk‑free virtual environment, with dynamic weather effects such as rain, fog, wind, and snow to replicate challenging conditions. Integrated performance monitoring records metrics like speed compliance, proximity to objects, and rule adherence, generating detailed driver reports for continuous improvement. The simulator can be combined with e‑learning modules and practical tests, and it integrates with AIRDAT’s Passport training management system for streamlined competency tracking and certification.
Target Audience
Primary customers are airport ground‑operations departments, airside driver training programs, and aviation safety teams that need to certify and assess vehicle operators on airport premises.
