Question

Why do you use driving simulators?

Answer

First of all these are not like the simulators that the school system uses.  We strive to give the student the most comprehensive driver training.   We would be glad to send you a brochure on the S-2300 simulator.  As far as this being a substitute for driving these are the state of the art driving simulators. The United States Armed services train their pilots and tank crews on simulators.  In addition Federal Express trains all their pilots on simulators.  It allows us to put the student in situations that they may not ever get into and it also develops muscle memory, which is vital in an emergency situation.  For the novice driver the transition to driving on the street is less stressful and they get more out of the street driving instruction.  People react the way they are trained in an emergency situation.  Driving is a building block process and the use of the S-2300 driving simulator is part of the building block process that allows us to make the student a safer driver.     

The S-2300 offers a strong structural steel frame and support base, as well as actual automotive steering column and components, which are engineered to be robust and reliable, even under strenuous use.  Our S-2300 system offers fully textured, high resolution, 3-dimensional graphics producing life-like images.  It offers complex, unpredictable, multi-car traffic interaction, which exposes operators to the rigors of driving on challenging modern roadways.  The S-2300 incorporates realistic vehicle dynamics, which are designed to ensure the simulator’s acceleration; braking and handling characteristics accurately mimic those of a real car.

Comprehensive training and fully accredited curriculum specially designed to assist students in learning "how to drive" is offered with the S-2300.  It offers over 30 different lessons with over 240 driving scenarios and virtually unlimited "free driving."  The S-2300 has been designed and produced to cover everything from pre-drive checks, how to operate a manual transmission, rules of the road, scanning principles and defensive driving techniques to avoid collisions, identify hazards, drive in adverse and impaired conditions.  We can also check the medical conditions of individuals that have had strokes or brain injuries.
