Description:
|
Now your drivers can sharpen their skills in a safe, interactive environment. Like PC-based flight simulators for pilots, SAFE•Sim™ will literally put your drivers behind the wheel and have them drive through a virtual
world of busy interstates, two-lane highways, city streets, and mountain roads. Plus, it will put them through the type of highrisk situational training that would be far too costly and dangerous to conduct on real roads.
Best of all, you can customize the training to suit the needs of each driver. You can select from a variety of different routes plus choose what hazards and environmental conditions you want each driver to experience. For example, you can choose city or country roads … night or day … rain or ice. You can choose to have your drivers experience emergency situations like tire blow outs, a car running a red light, and sliding on ice.
You can even choose what type of tractor (long nose, short nose, or cab over) they drive, with what type of load (full, partial, or empty). Or select a straight truck. It’s all up to you! What’s more, SAFE•Sim™ records driver errors so that you and your drivers can review them later to assess deficiencies and determine if additional training is required. You can also use the review/scoring feature to set company-specific standards forcurrent drivers and to screen driver applicants.

SAFE-Sim
provides a level of technology unheard of at such a price.
Some features, such as the ability to look out the right
and left hand windows don't even appear on the other simulators
I have used, which cost ten times more. A particularly unique
feature of this product is the ability to tie it to the
teaching console, which allows the instructor to project
turns, backs, and other maneuvers onto the screen at the
front on the classroom. Overall, I think we have a real
winner on our hands here.

SAFE-Sim
is a great teaching aid for my students. It saves money,
fuel, tires and maintenance and allows all my students to
get behind the wheel with very little equipment needed.
SAFE-Sim is especially good for my student's eye-hand
coordination, which was formerly a real problem, and I really
like the replay mechanism with the 11 different camera angles.
I also believe SAFE-Sim will help teach my students
backing maneuvers. Overall, SAFE-Sim is as close
as you're going to get to real road driving without actually
being in the truck. My students are crazy about it.

Our
students love SAFE-Sim! It is the best thing the
school has done for them as far as providing them with a
better understanding of basic tractor-trailer operations
prior to them physically getting in an actual truck. We
can show left and right hand turning which better prepares
our students when they drive truck. And, the backing component
aids tremendously in helping them understand the backward
movements of a tractor-trailer. Overall, SAFE-Sim
is like real road driving and is helpful in sharpening driver
skills prior to real world experience.
