A study on a VR simulator-based learning to develop electric train drivers’ skills is presented. Purpose: to improve the simulator efficiency to develop the professional qualities of electric train drivers thus increasing the electric train operation safety. Methods: to conduct a study on virtual simulators available today for training electric train drivers. Results: such virtual simulators as REDS SA VR, TecknoSIM VR, ED9M electric train simulator, United 3D Labs Driver’s Cabin, “Russian Railways” VR simulator, Simbott VR simulator are analyzed. Practical significance: VR simulators available today do not focus on electric train drivers’ training related to railway accidents such as train-pedestrian or train-automobile collisions, derailment, and others.
