SIMULATION SOFTWARE |
Our interactive curriculum is comprised of 28 chapters,
with over 240 driving scenarios and almost 450 exercises.
Its designed to utilize a building block approach,
which requires the student to master each lesson before moving on to the next. It
also enables the instructor to build his/her own lesson plan by selecting the lessons
he/she wishes to integrate into the program. Every chapter includes multiple chapter
lessons, providing a number of possible driving scenarios and exercises for the
student. The chapters incorporate pre-tests and chapter tests
to reinforce the material taught within each lesson. If a student is driving
recklessly (for example, if he/she is speeding excessively or driving off the road),
the exercise is terminated and the student fails the lesson. Documentation
of poor performance is recorded for the instructor. The student must retake the lesson in
order to achieve a passing score.

| The following is an overview of each of the four main menus
within the software program: |
Getting Started |
After first learning how to use the simulator, each student is then
thoroughly taught the basics of car operation -- everything from dashboard controls and
functions, indicator lights, pre-drive checks, starting and stopping the engine, moving
off using an automatic or manual transmission, maneuvering at slow speeds and much more. |
Basic Training |
The student is instructed how to make proper lane changes (entering/leaving
a lane), rules of intersections, turning left and right, merging and more. Each one of
these chapters is taught without the use of traffic interaction. The student is given the
opportunity to first learn the concepts before traffic complexity is added to complicate
the experience. |
Intermediate Training |
We add complex traffic interaction to our intermediate exercises, which are
designed to introduce the student to the rigors of actual behind the wheel driving.
The student must learn to properly merge, exit a lane, handle busy intersections, follow
vehicles, pass and much more. |
Advanced Training |
This offers adverse weather conditions, a number of collision avoidance and
hazardous scenarios, driving while impaired, reaction time testing and a complete chapter
on how to properly maintain your vehicle. |
