The Orion Driver - Airside Driving Simulator

The Orion Driver allows airports to train airside drivers safely and cost-effectively within a digital twin of their own airport. From daily operations to challenging weather and low visibility conditions, it prepares drivers for real-world scenarios without the risk of incidents or the disruption of operations.

Sydney Airport, Gatwick Airport, Leeds Bradford Airport and Keflavik Airport use the Orion Driver to improve their airside driver training.

Pre-programmed missions inspired by real airside incidents may be created to practice driving through hotspots and can be simulated to reduce the chance of human error, directly increasing airside safety.

Precise driver performance is monitored and driver reports are generated, providing reliable tracking insights on driver behaviour such as how close they are to objects, if they are driving within speed limits, and if they obey all configurable rules.

Since 2019, the Orion Driver has been developed to improve the capability of airside drivers before they head out to the apron, taxiways, and runways. 

With a strong foundation in Air Traffic Control through our affiliation with Tern Systems, Aveo builds on decades of aviation expertise. We combine deep operational understanding with cutting-edge simulation to bring the precision, discipline, and safety culture of ATC into airport ground operations.
