In a car driving simulator for driver training, the practice of lessons in a learner car is simulated. These can be more appropriately referred to as 'driving lessons simulators'. Sometimes driving teachers wonder what this would be better than the existing way of driver training, since they already use a learner car. Carnetsoft facilitates a different didactic rule, that is based on sound scientific research. During driver skill training, part tasks have to be automated (automation training) by task-directed practice. Each part task training, like driving off in first gear, steering or gear changing, starts with a controlled instruction training that focusses on instruction and training of that part task. After that, there's automation training of that specific part task. During the simulated task training, the degree of automation is measured using the Peripheral Detection Task (PDT). This is a method for measuring taskload and controlled/automatic processing that was developed it happened in 1999 by the developer of Carnetsoft, at first for use in driving simulators. It is now an ISO standard for computing taskload and has been used frequently in Human Factors research in the car industry and at universities. It has been demonstrated that the PDT is a superb method to assess automation of driving therefore of driving experience.
In this way, the level of automation of part tasks can be measured. When the part process has been automated enough, the next part task can be trained. Once the main part tasks have been automated enough, training continues with integration training. Driving in various situation, like highways, motorways, large and small roundabouts and town is practiced during integration training, while driving a car behaviour is monitored and evaluated by the electronic instructor.
If the simulator training is completed, students can proceed in a learner car on the road. The first step in a learner car is a transfer training, during which trainees gets accustomed to the car and learn to apply the skills that recently been learned in the driving simulator in the learner car. After that, the other lessons can be practiced in the learner car.
