The objective of this study was to conduct a review of simulator use and utility for driver training and to provide targeted recommendations on how to use the Penn State Truck Driving Simulator (or any motion-based truck simulator) in PENNDOT driver training programs. The study also reviewed PENNDOT's current training procedures for high-center-of-gravity trucks, including snowplows, and the feasibility of teaching a short course in vehicle dynamics to improve driver knowledge in combination with using the truck driving simulator. The possibility of upgrading the Penn State Truck Driving Simulator to enable the simulation of snowplowing operations was investigated. The overall purpose of the Simulator Training Evaluation Program (STEP) was to assess the potential of a driving simulator to improve targeted vehicle operation skills of PENNDOT equipment operators.
