Fleet Driver Safety – One Hour of Highly Interactive Training to Reduce Crashes

Virtual Techniques Drive Home Learning

According to Automotive Fleet magazine, there is a difference between educating fleet drivers and training them. Virtual HD^® was designed to complement computer-based, behind-the-wheel and classroom programs converting the education to meaningful training.

Virtual HD was developed to be an immersive “commentary drive”, where a driver learns to identify and call out hazards using their voice as they drive through virtual environments. The hazards identified in a rural snow scene will be different from those in a busy city. By using advanced learning techniques such as zoom to target; bullet time slow motion, virtual veils and x-ray vision, drivers will learn at an unprecedented pace.

By choosing one of the many types of vehicles included with Virtual HD your drivers can learn using the same vehicle type they use out on the road. Whether it is a personal vehicle like an SUV, passenger car or a “company” vehicle such as a utility truck or semi, Virtual HD has the perspective and mirror placements needed for effective training.

Virtual HD is simply better training in less time.
