A series of studies was done at a large truck driver-training center as part of its ongoing cycle of development and implementation of simulator-based training. This project was motivated by the need to accelerate the learning of basic vehicle control skills to allow more time for safety-critical skills. The first studies focused on gearshifting and the second on backing maneuvers. All studies measured the transfer of driving skills learned in the truck simulator to the real truck. The results show that basic vehicle control skills learned on the truck simulator transferred to a real truck and that the learning time required on the truck simulator compared with the real truck was at least equal if not shorter in many cases. A major strength of this project is to complete integration into the normal operations of the training school’s program by using regular teachers and students. The only nonroutine aspects were the extra performance measurements by independent evaluators. Naturalistic studies are prone to confounding factors. Therefore, the consistent evidence of transfer of basic skills from the truck simulator to the real truck across multiple phases with slightly different designs demonstrates the robustness of the findings. Given the success of simulator-based training in aviation, the evidence of successful transfer of training in this study is not surprising. The greater challenge is the future integration of efficient truck-driving simulator-based learning into existing training programs to allow additional time to learn more safety-critical driving skills.
