註釋"The FHWA, Office of Motor Carrier Highway Safety 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 simulator validation study. The research design consists of three distinct parts. Part 1 addresses the forward transfer of training for entry-level drivers. Part 2 is an assessment of the advanced capabilities of the test simulator. Part 3 is a longitudinal study of the drivers that have successfully completed either the truck based or simulator based driver training program and have gone onto earn their Commercial Drivers License. A previous OMCHS report titled, " Commercial Motor Vehicle Simulation Technology To Improve Driver Training, Testing and Licensing Methods Final Report - April 1996," evaluated truck driving simulators in the US and Europe. The report indicated that truck driving simulation was sufficiently mature and recommended that FHWA validate this technology. The Digitran SafeDrive 1000 was recommended as the test bed for the follow on validation study. A copy of the report can be obtained by contacting the National Technical Information Service (703-605-6000 or 1-800-553-6847) and referencing NTIS Publication Number PB96-183405, The validation study will commence in FY 1999. It will start with a reassessment of the commercial marketplace to assure the simulator selected as the test bed for the study reflects the most up to date information and best meets the needs of OMCHS"--Technical report documentation page
