Development of advanced driving simulator for driving schools

Abstract

This paper describes development of an innovative advanced driving simulator (ADS), that will be implemented into the driver education process as a method to improve education of students and thus their readiness to enter everyday traffic. ADS will allow the driving school students to get more practice in general vehicle control, unusual situation solving and use of modern assistant systems, as well as objectively evaluate student’s skills by the instructor. As a conclusion, expected outcomes of innovative simulator design and results validation possibilities are discussed.
