DRIVING SIMULATOR TRAINING

This eight-hour course is designed to reinforce a driver's ability to develop a system that will assist in making sound decisions and reduce driving risk. Managing risk involves controlling visibility, time, space and being aware of the traction available. The "Driving Simulator" is a training device which includes a steering wheel, brake, and accelerator controls, and provides a feel similar to those experienced in a real car. Through the use of this new technology, the attendee will learn how to react to various traffic elements such as pedestrians, other vehicles and road conditions, and how to predict possible conflict with other highway users. The simulator allows for the measurement of reaction time, braking time and total stopping distance. This course is open to Fire, Police and EMS personnel.
