Effective Solution

Many elderly drivers are using driving schools to maintain, re-train, and/or improve their current driving skills. Driving simulation is an ideal solution to meet the training needs of this growing population of drivers. Unlike novice drivers, the elderly driver population has already learned the basic skills of vehicle maneuvering and has amassed a wealth of driving experience and knowledge. As such, training for elderly drivers must be approached differently. A comprehensive training program begins with a thorough assessment program to understand the areas in which a particular elderly driver requires improvement. Training is then tailored to meet the needs for that individual. Driving simulation can safely and efficiently assess and train elderly drivers under hazardous conditions that could never be controlled or tolerated in real world driving.

Applications

• An assessment tool for gauging the level of training required for each participant driver
• Tracking the progress of each participant driver
• Maintain, re-train, and/or improve current driving skills
• Teach complex vehicle maneuvers that are too dangerous for on-road training in a visual and interactive environment
• Present updated traffic rules and regulations in an interactive environment

System Features

• Less simulator sickness recognized by many researchers
• Comprehensive driver & vehicle performance measurements with scenario playback features
• High speed graphics with texturing, shading, lighting & high fidelity sound processing
• Multiple & flexible configuration options for driver controls & displays to meet your specific application needs.
• Extensive model & driving scenario libraries with ability to create & modify your own models & scenarios
• Interactive events, signals lights, pedestrians & traffic with smart vehicle movements
• The Driver Assessment and Training System (DATS) provides the opportunity to register and train individuals without the need for constant supervision, and tracks each individual's performance

System Capabilities

• Student driver log-in with password protection
• Driver performance scores for each scenario run
• Extensive driving scenario library
• Integrated pop quiz and questionnaire generator
• Customizable multimedia learning content
• Instructors can pick and choose the driving scenarios or create/modify their own
