Cover Story: Traffic accidents are a leading cause of mortality for young adults, even with the advances in conventional driver training. This is a case study blueprint for an integrated simulated framework to increase driver training safety in North America. The cover art highlights the essential aspects of this study, where conventional driver (classroom and physical on-road) training is supplemented with physics-based modeling and high-fidelity simulation through a full motion simulation coupled with a multi-measure assessment of simulated driver performance. Notable features leading to the overall improved driver safety mentioned here include positive feedback, diverse scoring, experiential learning and repeatability. View this paper
