DRIVING SIMULATORS

 SIMULATION DESCRIPTION

DriveWise incorporates state-of-the-art virtual reality technology that promotes user engagement, higher transfer of learning and learner retention. By using simulators for your training, you can reduce your capital investment for vehicles by reducing their required use and maintenance. Risks and causes of incidents can be addressed in a safe and highly customizable environment.​

simulation lab device

  • Simulation labs are a highly-effective and powerful method of cognitive skill development, behaviour modification and situational awareness building. In a simulated environment, the group is exposed to a number of different driving situations. The flexibility and safe environment of the simulator enables us to expose participants to situations that would be impossible in a live vehicle.

  • Targeted skill development and reinforcement of curriculum via hands-on practiccuum. 

  • Additionally, the instructor can allow a situation to develop and observe the participant’s ability to recognize danger, be proactive and recover without instructor intervention. This enables an instructor to focus on coaching instead of monitoring everyone’s safety. The participant can also see the cause and effect of their driving decisions. Exercises can be replayed from a variety of angles to emphasize major teaching points. The group training also gives people the chance to learn both positive and negative actions taken by others.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

customized carseware for simulation

  • Events can be programmed or be initiated from the easy-to-use instructor station. The instructor can inject weather events, change time of day, as well as surface friction and vehicle dynamics (i.e. bleed brakes), and induce emergency situations (i.e. blown tires, brake failure, engine fire, hydraulic failure, etc.). These tools permit the instructor to target the training to the skill level of the trainee.

  • The simulator captures all data as the simulation is being conducted. The instructor can then replay the simulation from various angles for participant debrief on performance.

 TRAINING DESCRIPTION​

​

The cornerstone of our program and highlight for most participants is our virtual reality learning environment. The simulator enables the participant to practically reinforce the classroom theory in a safe and challenging environment. Our simulators support occupation specific configurations and vehicles.
