ATVehicle ™
ATVehicle is UFA’s cutting-edge airside driving simulator, purpose-built to provide safe, consistent, and realistic training for all types of airfield vehicle operators.
Using a detailed digital replica of an actual airport, ATVehicle offers a high-fidelity environment where both new and experienced drivers can learn to navigate complex airfield layouts, interact with air traffic control, and respond to emergency situations—without impacting live operations or requiring ATC involvement.
The system covers a wide range of training needs, including airport layout familiarization, ground support equipment (GSE) use, pushback and towing procedures, aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF), winter operations, and driver confidence development. Users can train with a variety of standard airside vehicles, such as operations trucks, fire apparatus, snowplows, and pushback tugs. Combined with phraseology training and expert-developed courses, ATVehicle provides end-to-end, scalable airside driver training.
With built-in voice recognition and a responsive, AI-driven controller that simulates aircraft and ground vehicle behavior, ATVehicle offers realistic communication scenarios. Trainees practice proper radio calls, phraseology, and timing, improving their awareness and preparedness in a no-risk setting.
Each training session generates performance data, allowing instructors to monitor progress, evaluate decision-making, and tailor instruction based on individual or group trends. Designed to scale across use cases and with your needs, ATVehicle supports everything from basic onboarding to advanced and recurrent driver training, helping airports maintain high operational standards and safety.
