The DRIVEtron™ vehicle simulator product range consists of vehicle and driver simulators of various features, from desktop, workstation-based simulators to 6-DOF motion platform simulators. The DRIVEtron™ product range includes cars, heavy vehicles, apron vehicles, fire trucks, ambulances and construction equipment simulators, but the list is not limited to these.

DRIVEtron™ vehicle simulators simulate vehicle dynamics with extreme fidelity. The feel of the steering wheel, pedal, gear and other control systems and the reactions of these systems to user commands are reflected to the user. The sensors transfer the applied user commands to a high-speed computer and the vehicle motion calculated by the computer in line with this command information is transmitted to the graphics computer and reflected to the display system. All these simultaneous systems and the sound system provide a realistic driving feeling.

DRIVEtron™ vehicle simulators can be used for the following purposes:

• Basic driving skills and techniques
• Fuel saving training based on engine speed in different weather and road conditions
• Turning and maneuvering training at intersections
• track orientation
• Braking, acceleration, maneuvering training
• Limited visibility training (fog, smoke)
• Training against unexpected situations (accident, damage, road obstacles, etc.)
• Pre-accident prevention maneuvers training
• Improving Action/Response, reflex and perception
• Improving predictive and predictive analytical intelligence
• Simulation of different road conditions (slippery, dry, asphalt, soil etc.)
• Simulation of different road conditions (slippery, dry, asphalt, soil etc.)
• Simulation of component and subsystem failures
• Driving training in aggressive environments
• Driving training in different traffic densities
• Driving simulations according to day and season conditions

Database management software included with DRIVEtron™ vehicle simulators is used to record and track student performance. DRIVEtron™ vehicle simulators can also optionally have an instructor station located outside the simulator cabin.

DRIVEtron™ vehicle simulators consist of the following components:

• Driver/Simulator Cab System
• Computer and I/O System
• Command and Control Loading System
• Display System
• Sound system
• Communication System
• Simulation Software
• Mobile Platform (optional)
• Instructor Console (optional)

In DRIVEtron™ vehicle simulators, accurate, fast and precise vehicle dynamics simulations are key factors in terms of user satisfaction and required training criteria. All internal and external factors affecting vehicle dynamics are available in the physics model. The DRIVEtron™ vehicle dynamics physics model includes the following components:

• Wheel Model
• Suspension Model
• Brake Model
• Engine and Transmission Model
• Steering and Torque Model
