Simulator

“In real-world training, some objectives are too risky, too slow, or simply impossible to achieve at all. In a simulator, we can expose drivers to various hazards; we can replicate and segment the most complex driving tasks and traffic situations; and we can object score driver performance. In the real world, this level of safety and precision in training is difficult to achieve. And of course, using the simulator is cost-effective compared to using an actual truck.”

– Remi Quimper, President Virage Simulation

The following programs are offered to meet your organization’s needs:

• Changing Gears: The Golden Shifter
• Maneuvering in the City: The Golden Steering
• Backing Up: The Golden Mirrors
• The Virage Simulation Approach to Ecodriving
• Snow Plow
• School Bus
  

The simulator scenario designs are based on proven applied principles. Lessons and evaluations will be performed under the guidance of a qualified instructor. Attention is given to shifting, maneuvering in confined areas, optimizing vehicle performance and hazard recognition.

The most significant benefit of a simulated experience is the evaluation process. Hands-on learning is increased with immediate feedback.

The AMTA has two truck simulators, one based at our Edmonton office and the other in Calgary and is a Mobile Training Unit.
