SPR-5008: Strategic Expansion of Driving Simulators in INDOT Driver Training Programs

This project aims to enhance the effectiveness of simulator-based training and contribute to transportation safety and efficiency in Indiana. This study will refine simulator scenario selections tailored to Indiana’s unique operational conditions and drivers’ skill levels, develop instructional tutorials for the consistent and effective use of driving simulators, assess the impacts of simulator-based training, identify and quantify resources saved through driving simulator programs, and develop efficient strategies for utilizing simulator resources statewide.
