Providing Innovative Solutions for Driver Training and Assessment
driVR provides: affordable driving simulation for use in rehabilitation settings to evaluate functional driving skills; and an immersive driving experience, allowing a user to enter into and travel around in a realistic three-dimensional artificial world. To guide the user along a route, visual and/or auditory cues are provided. The view port changes with vehicle position and angle of head rotation. The clinician, instructor or assessor is able to observe in real time on the computer to monitor the user’s experience.
 
An industry leader in Virtual Reality Simulators technology
FAAC, Inc. is a privately owned company that provides driving simulators by the name of DTS. FAAC, Inc. offers a desktop mount model or a floor standing model. Both products offer customized training scenarios. Organizations can assess driver skills in automobiles, emergency vehicles, public transit vehicles, commercial vehicles, trucks and SUV’s. Helicopter scenarios are also available in joystick mode. DTS allows the drivers to receive comprehensive training by introducing real hazards and allowing training scenarios to be repeated to improve lesson enforcement. The instructor has the capability to configure scenarios and define specific parameters for each training session. Controlling traffic elements, weather conditions, pedestrians, and navigational hazards are some of the capabilities.
 
The complete solution to driver training, testing and screening
Doron Precision Systems, Inc. develops, produces, installs and services their complete driving simulation systems. The 400 model has three modes of operation, automatic, manual and demonstration. The automatic mode measures a driver's threat recognition ability (perception distance). The Manual mode measures driver’s reaction time distance (recognition plus reaction distances) and the Demonstration mode measures drivers total stopping distance under various selectable conditions of speed, grade, and road surface. This model can be used in various situations from measuring the effects of drunk driving to helping the disabled to practice driving skills in a non-threatening environment. The 450LE and A.M.O.S. II models are fully interactive driving simulators that focus on the appropriate tactics and procedures in emergency or mutual-aid situations. Multiple operator units can be linked with the Instructor/Dispatch station. The 450LE and A.M.O.S. II teaches tactical and procedural responses, refines mature judgment and decision-making abilities, enhances cooperation and teamwork and includes radio communications
 
Home of the VisionStation® & VisionDome® line of products
Elumens provides the Visionstation 800 display unit which is a 1.5 meter hemispherical screen used to display images via a projector with 180 degree image span. The curved screen provides a more realistic image and expands the field of view. Visionstation is compatible with most simulation software programs and would provide another perspective of driving in a virtual reality world.
 
Driving Simulator for Driver Education
The Raydon Virtual Driver™ is the first fully interactive driving simulator system that puts students behind the wheel before they hit the highway. Our RVD™ driving simulators are a simple, cost-effective way to expertly prepare students for the challenges they will face on the open road.
