Abstract

The paper deals with the operator's training problem in marine ports environments, specifically container terminals. Two simulators, a straddle carrier simulator and a truck simulator, are presented. The straddle carrier and the truck simulators share the same virtual environment that recreates the Gioia Tauro Container Terminal. An accurate description of both simulators and their implementation is reported; possible applications for training are briefly presented.
