Immersive driving simulation comes to life in the details. Dual-motor force feedback makes you feel every tire slip and terrain change. Solid steel ball bearings in the wheel shaft give weight and durability. Stainless steel paddle shifters and floor pedals apply precision force. Hand-stitched leather covered wheel makes every car luxury. Helical gearing delivers smooth, quiet operation.

Feel your tires on every turn and type of terrain. Sense under and oversteer drifting with precision. Feel every weight shift and tire slip, and the road conditions that caused them. Powerful dual-motor force feedback realistically simulates force effects so you can respond immediately and accurately.

Driving Force handles the stress of racing action and is built for long-lasting reliability. Solid steel ball bearings are used in the wheel shaft. Stainless steel paddle shifters and pedals feel great under pressure. The wheel is covered in high-quality, hand-stitched leather for a premium sports car feel. Grab your car by the wheel for a more realistic, comfortable and durable racing experience.

Exceptionally smooth, quiet steering action thanks to helical gears modeled after gears used in automotive transmissions. Anti-backlash keeps the wheel and pedals tight, maximizing your control. Driving Force Racing Wheel also features a long lasting, reliable hall-effect steering sensor, using magnetic fields to sense the position of the wheel.

All your controls are where you can reach them. The D-Pad, buttons and paddle shifters are incorporated into the racing wheel. LED indicator lights positioned just above the center of the wheel tell you exactly when to up- or down-shift so you maintain maximum acceleration without taking your eyes off the track. A 24-point selection dial and the +/- buttons on the front of the wheel let you further fine-tune your driving preferences.

Maintain a more realistic driving body position with the separate floor pedal unit with integrated throttle, brake, and clutch pedals. Driving Force lets you comfortably accelerate, brake and change gears with the feel of an actual car.

The nonlinear brake pedal mimics the performance of a pressure-sensitive brake system for a more responsive, accurate braking feel. For even finer control, reposition the pedal faces to make heel-toe maneuvers easier to perform.

Research under this division also includes a heavy focus on teens and older drivers, with a specific emphasis on the identified risks associated with these driving demographics. Recent and ongoing research looks for ways to better inform teen drivers, along with their parents, by providing useful feedback during the driver education process via an internally developed teen feedback website application. Separately, the Rural Older Adult Driver Tailored Research-Integrated Plan (ROAD TRIP) aims to identify and mitigate specific driving risks of older adults in rural areas through the integration of countermeasures and direct involvement with family members.

These vibratory drivers / extractors are designed and manufactured in the USA by ICE, a world leader in cost-effective foundation equipment since 1974. We continue to provide innovative products to our customers and the highest quality parts. ICE power units run CAT diesel engines for unit reliability and easy access to parts and service from anywhere in the world. Our hammers utilize an open-loop hydraulic system to maximize efficiency and reliability, while our gear case design provides maximum pile amplitude and is light weight.* All ICE units use the highest quality pumps and motors.

ICE believes the expense of operating the equipment for our customers and the environment are equally important. The power unit has duplicate electronic controls via a remote control pendant for both safety and fuel efficiency. Our computerized power units can also pinpoint repair needs and provide other diagnostics. ICE power packs utilize Chevron Clarity non-toxic, biodegradable hydraulic oil and have a heavy-duty steel enclosure and fuel-tank subbase to protect the power unit and the environment.

With our Patented Dual-pull TM suppressor available in a majority of our units, ICE vibratory drivers / extractors are able to provide maximum vibration isolation during driving and extraction combined with high pulling capacity for tough extraction jobs. ICE offers a full range of clamps and accessories for all types of piling jobs including our specialized V clamp. **

At the same time, insurance companies found driving simulators are well worth the investment. Training programs in Georgia that coupled simulators with on-course driving reduced officer crashes by 10%, insurers reported in that state.

Put differently, the technology provided at least a 12-to-1 return on investment by curbing vehicle repairs and insurance liability costs linked to crashes, according to the insurance study headed by Robert Hoyt, a risk management professor at the University of Georgia.

The gold safety standard in law enforcement are the departments that require annual or biennial on-course driver training for all officers. Some agencies also require supervisors ride along with rookies for months, or following all crashes, before letting them on the road alone.

Then in 2021, the department boosted driver training to include annual emergency vehicle operator course training, following years of officer crashes that led to costly legal settlements, vehicle repairs and myriad injuries.

But, in some ways, the third case forced the positive change: A rookie officer died in a crash while driving nearly 100 miles per hour in a 25-mph zone. At the time, he was off-duty and heading home, talking with his girlfriend on a cellphone, Hope Tiesman, a federal driving safety expert, recalled recently.

Crashes and injuries among Vegas police plummeted 14% and 31%, respectively. Federal officials revealed those results in a 2019 report, launching a campaign to have other departments follow the model, said Tiesman, a research epidemiologist at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

But despite mounting evidence to the contrary, some police officers still view vehicle crashes as an unavoidable part of a job that requires lots of driving, with the added risks of occasional emergency responses.

Join us for one of our school bus driver job fairs this summer and be part of our team! We will host school bus driver job fairs from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. on the following dates and locations. No pre-event registration is needed to attend.

Many of our drivers advance to either a Bus Driver Floater or a Bus Driver Supervisor. Many others move or return to other FCPS positions in administration, instruction, and more. Bus driving can be a good career, a good job for a season in your life, or a pathway to other opportunities with FCPS.

A floater driver's salary starts at a higher rate of pay for their experience and ability to drive a variety of buses and routes and manage different groups of student passengers. Floaters are drivers with full benefits that fill in for drivers who are on leave.

Cancer develops from somatically accumulating mutations, but not all mutations drive tumorigenesis. Driver mutations have been positively selected for the growth advantage they confer. By contrast, unselected, passenger mutations have no fitness effects and thus do not contribute to cancer development.

Quantitative estimates of the number of driver mutations needed for cancer to develop were lacking. Martincorena et al. sought to address this issue by calculating the ratio of non-synonymous to synonymous substitutions (dN/dS) across 7,664 tumours from 29 cancer types. Quantifying positive and negative selection using molecular evolution methods allowed the authors to directly estimate any excess or deficit of mutations compared with the number expected under neutrality.

The team observed a unique pattern of selection that was universal across cancer types. In contrast to species evolution, which is characterized predominantly by negative selection, positive selection was observed to have a greater impact on cancer evolution. Using a dN/dS >1 as a marker of cancer genes under positive selection, Martincorena et al. identified 179 cancer genes, which were distributed heterogeneously across patients and tumour types. About 50% of the coding driver mutations were found to occur outside of known cancer genes.

Focusing on negative (purifying) selection next, the authors estimated that, on average across all analysed tumours, less than one coding substitution per tumour had been negatively selected against. The lack of negative selection on coding substitutions indicates that nearly all of these mutations are tolerated by cancer cells, which may be the result of redundancy provided by the existence of alternative pathways or two (or more) copies per gene.
