Our voice controlled simulator offers beginner drivers “live through” real life consequences of driving distracted or impaired, teaches critical driving skills and the rules of the road without putting students in harms way.
With this tool the trainees will safely experience the dangerous situations of driving: impaired, distracted (e.g. texting), night driving ( which is forbidden by law to do on the road by a beginner driver but can be done on the simulator), in heavy rain and fog as well as pedestrian and animal avoidance in traffic.
“Simulators have proven far more effective in the amount of retention of knowledge versus conventional classroom teaching. Simulators can also create unique or dangerous situations in a manner that you could not or would not create behind-the-wheel of a real automobile. In other words, let your student have their first crash with us. When facing a dangerous situation in the real world, it is not as important what you know, but what you do. Simulation allows you to practice what to do if a dangerous situation should present itself, giving you the best possible chance of surviving or avoiding a crash.”
Accra, Oct. 19, GNA – The Government Technical Training Centre (GTTC) in collaboration with the National Drivers Academy (NDA) has organized simulator-based training for 73 recruited female drivers for the Ayalolo buses.
The initiative, also in partnership with Safe Drive Innovations and SCANIA Bus Rapid Transit was to equip the drivers through modern technology to ensure safety on roads.
This would promote safe driving and reduce the number of road carnages in the country.
Mr. Constant Tsedzah, the Acting Principal, Government Technical Training Centre and National Drivers Academy, stated during a facility visit in Accra to inspect the simulator device and training of the drivers, said statistics had shown that female drivers were more conscious on roads than males hence the project to reduce road accidents.
He said fuel efficiency, fire-fighting, vehicle knowledge, how to handle various categories of vehicles, accident scenes, defensive driving, and hardware training were some of the areas the training would cover.
Mr. Tsedzah said the training they were embarking on conforms to the road traffic regulations act, which seeks to promote safety and ensure that crisis and road accidents did not occur especially as the country drew closer to the festive season.
