Bus simulator training involves the use of a simulated bus driving compartment, which provides behind-the-wheel, hands-on training in a virtual environment. This technology has been effective in improving safety and can be a cost-effective addition to driver training programs for smaller operators when taking a regional approach. This National RTAP technical brief provides an overview of the technology and case studies of agencies that have employed driver simulators effectively. How does a driver simulator work? A driver simulator lets drivers experience real-life situations and allows them to practice safe driving techniques to avoid accidents in the kinds of vehicles they normally drive.
