Evaluate Opportunities to Provide Training Simulation for ODOT Snow and Ice Drivers
摘要:
As government continues to decrease the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is losing seasoned full time drivers which have made the "snow warriors" of the past. Much of the replacements are auxiliary and seasonal drivers with little training. ODOT would like to enhance the current training offered by using some kind of training simulation to the current training offered. The ideal simulation would allow drivers to experience the diverse driving conditions experienced on the road before taking out an actual plow truck.
ODOT is looking for a cost effective alternative to training "new" snow and ice drivers for the state. Simulation training is to be considered as an option however any new available technologies should be considered in order to identify "all" opportunities for improvement.
The overall goal of the project is to gain experienced drivers before they plow their first snow event. This should lead to increased safety for the drivers and the motoring public.
