Virage Simulation has you covered. The VS500M-P provides all the visual information drivers need to develop situational awareness when maneuvering on public roads.

• Trainers can focus attention on driving behaviors and provide timely corrections and coaching.
• Time of day and weather, fog, rain, snow, and wind of variable intensities, are selected through a simple cursor.
• The helicopter view allows for a quick exterior view of the vehicle within the driving environment.
• The positions of the gas, brake, and vehicle speed are monitored on the operator station display.
• Instructors can reposition stationary, moving vehicles, pedestrians, and objects by simply dragging and dropping them on the map.
• The optional scenario-building tool enables instructors to create their own scenarios.
• Start and stop the scenarios (training sessions)
• Introduce Vehicle Malfunctions
• Control the Radio Chatter

Virage simulators can objectively measure driver performance to determine meaningful benchmarks based on vehicle control metrics, error rates, and task completion times.

The Driver Tracker^TM helps instructors and training center managers oversee their drivers progress. This invaluable tool provides an overview of the training sessions attempted and successfully completed by each driver and their performance scores, where applicable.

More detailed performance information is available by clicking on the display. This drill-down approach provides immediate access to all the information captured by the simulator.

Detailed statistical information on the usage of the simulator, as well as drill down filters to access results by driver, group, and instructor are available to show usage and performance information.
