摘要: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Office of Motor Carrier Highway Safety (OMCHS) is conducting research to validate the use of low-to mid-cost simulator for commercial driver training, testing and licensing. The primary purpose of the study is to examine how simulator technology as compared to conventional methods, may facilitate and enhance tractor-trailer driver :performance This report details the proposed research, design to conduct the empirical simufator validation study The research design consists of three distinct pads Pad 1 addresses the forward transfer of training for entry-level drivers. Part 2 is ! an assessment of the advanced capabilities of the test simulator Pad 3 is a longitudional study of the drivers that have successfully completed either the truck-based or simulator-based driver training program and have gone onto eam their Commercial Drivers License. A previous OMCHS report titled, "Commercial Motor Vehicle Simulation Technology To impreve Driver Training, Testing and licensing Methods Final Report - April 1996," evaluated truck driving simulators in the United States and Europe. The report indicated that truck driving simulation was sufficiently mature and recommended that FHV/A validate this technology. The Digitran SafeDrive 1000 was recommended as the test bed for the Follow-on validation study A copy of the report car be obtained by . contacting the National Technical Information Service f7O3-6C5-6CC0 or 1-8CC-553-684T) and referencing NTIS Publication Number PB96-183405, The validation study win commence in FY 1999. it will start with a reassessment of the commercial marketplace to assure the j simulator selected as the test bed for the study reflects the most up-to-date .information and best .meets the needs of OMCHS.
