The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) will conduct a study to determine if empirical evidence can support the use of a low- to mid-cost truck simulator to enhance commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver training, testing, and implications for licensing. Based on preliminary findings, FMCSA believes that simulators hold considerable promise for improving commercial driver performance and highway safety if their value can be sufficiently demonstrated. In the first phase of the Commercial Truck Simulator Validation (SimVal) Study, FMCSA published an initial truck simulator assessment report (1996), which indicated that simulation was sufficiently mature for validation purposes. A research design (1999) was then developed to validate the use of simulation technology. This report describes a second, more detailed, truck simulator re-assessment to learn about technological progress of available truck simulators since the publication of the initial report. The re-assessment is based on the simulator functionalities described in the research design report. The completion of this report will ensure that FMCSA has more up-to-date information on commercially available truck simulators in the United States.
