Driver Training Simulators

Driving simulators deliver standardized training that is completely independent of the training site or the trainer. The training modules on the driving simulator are set in line with the learning objectives of the customer, which makes it possible for the trainers to train and evaluate each driver on the same objectives, and achieve the desired results. This helps in improving the overall training quality.

Training in a well designed and realistic virtual environment on a driving simulator helps in training the drivers faster and better. Studies show that one hour of training on simulator is equivalent to three hours of training on real vehicle, thus saving a considerable amount of training time and cost. Driving simulators also reduce the need for fuel and actual vehicle for training. The group training simulator set up allow the instructor to train multiple drivers at the same time thus reducing the training cost and time

Driving simulators are well suited to train and test drivers on basic driving skills. Studies prove that driving simulators prove beneficial while training advanced drivers on realistic road conditions, which are not possible to create in real life. With the help of simulators driving instructors can create multiple emergency situations like difficult weather conditions, Hazardous vehicle movement, vehicle breakdowns, jaywalking pedestrians in a short duration of time. Trained drivers show improvement in their vehicle control, traffic management skills, hazard anticipation, decision-making skills and overall driving behavior.

High cost of fuel reduces the overall profits. Driving simulator helps logistic companies in calculating the fuel consumption of the driver by using parameters like speed,braking, acceleration, gear changes and clutch riding. These parameters help in analyzing and improving the driving skills for better economy. Eco driving module on the simulator teaches best practices, which enables the logistic companies and fleet owners to minimize the fuel consumption and reduce driving expenses.

Regular training in a controlled environment helps in preparing drivers for a variety of situations . Studies show that commercial drivers who received simulator training had fewer crashes compared drivers who only practiced with real cars. Repeated training through predesigned scenarios with automatic & objective scoring allows drivers to learn at their own pace with or without trainer supervision. Continuous training on simulators eventually helps in reducing the number of incidences & building safe and trained drivers with safer roads.
