Our driving simulator is built with the most advanced simulation software available in the industry using a sophisticated driver environment built with actual car components providing a realistic feel of all controls.
The VS300 car driving simulator system is a high fidelity fully immersive mobile car driving simulator providing the best blend of quality, functionality and cost. High quality graphics and sound provides a cost effective simulated driving experience in a real car cockpit environment without the real-world consequences should the student driver make a mistake. Our training curriculum library allows progressive driver training from beginners to experts. The car driving curriculum has been approved by government authorities as a replacement for a portion of the in-car driving course provided by driving schools.
The VS300 car driving simulator with the optional mobility package allows quick installation for use in different locations. As an option, transportation cases are available or a full transportation solution such as a trailer-based mobile laboratory can be provided.
Virage Simulation offers all the services and support required to realize your projects. We have expertise in scenario creation for driver education and driver evaluation from novice to experienced driver.
The Virage Simulation car simulator system consists of an open cabin with the driver seat and center console of a compact car, a fully functional simulated instrument and warning light cluster and a wide visual display.
Automatic transmission selection is provided on the Multi-Function Display and an optional center console is available with automatic or manual transmissions, including an optional conversion kit allowing quick and easy changes.
The steering wheel includes a dynamic electrical load unit with hard stops allowing for the simulation of the real force felt on the steering wheel during the turning maneuvers and feedback from the road surface such as holes, road shoulder or even rolling over a sidewalk.
A full set of visual scenes reproducing city, highway, industrial, farmland, countryside, and mountainous environments are included. Winter scenes, rural roads, and various atmospheric conditions are available and can be used within the scenarios to recreate different driving conditions.
A high fidelity stereo sound system provides realistic directional sound cues correlated with road conditions, engine RPM and speed. Additional realism is provided by sounds from other vehicles, including the simulation of the Doppler Effect.
The simulator training scenarios cover basic driver training, evaluation and advanced training under different road, traffic and weather conditions. Lessons and objective evaluations can be performed with an instructor. Scenario design is based on proven pedagogical principles. Special attention is given to shifting and advanced training such as energy-efficient driving and hazard perception.
Never feel stuck at your career again! Once you have a CDL, there are so many different things you can do. You can change the type of truck you drive. For example, with a CDL Class A you are able to drive large tractor trailers or smaller trucks such as box trucks, garbage trucks, cement trucks and dump trucks.
You can also change the industry you are in so the opportunities are limitless! With a CDL, you have many career choices. If you want to stay local and come home daily there are many careers to choose from. If your dream is to see the country, there are many awesome jobs waiting for you. The cool thing is you get to pick the future you are looking for!
We are one of the few CDL schools if not the only school who offers a GUARANTEED TRAINING PROGRAM. This CDL training program is the best program to enroll in if you want guaranteed results that helps you walk away with the CDL you are looking for! The guaranteed courses come with over 100 hours of CDL training to get you prepared for all parts of earning a CDL (Permit & Road Test) as well as UNLIMITED attempts on the CDL road test. This means you will pay one price and we keep taking you for the road test until you pass at no extra cost to you. We will not give up on you until you get the CDL you are after!
There are 2 ways you can pay for your CDL training with Driving Academy. You can pay for the course in full or our more popular option is that you can pay with an interest-free payment plan. You can start off with as little as $500 down and we can work out a custom payment plan for the rest. You will make the payments as you are training with us and everything must be paid in full before you finish the CDL course.
We understand that most of our students still have bills to pay and their everyday life cannot be paused, and you cannot afford to take time off from work. You will see the majority of our students come to school part time and learn using our flexible course schedule.
All of our students get a nice perk of our Lifetime Job Placement program. This means it is our job to help you find a job for the rest of your life. Lifetime to use truly means life time which means we are here to help you up until the day you die.
Many students who go to other schools have a hard time finding work right out of school because they run to the problem where they can only find companies that want to hire drivers with experience. When you are a Driving Academy Graduate you benefit from our connections with companies that are looking to drivers with out experience.
Driving Academy is one of the few schools in the country that can train you as well as provide the CDL Road Test. We are a certified third-party tester which gives us the ability to test anyone in the country with a CDL Permit.
If you train at a school that is not a third-party tester you will have to take your CDL road test with the DMV which is not a fun experience. So, keep things simple and become a student at Driving Academy Today.
Simulation training is a part of every course here at Driving Academy. We are one of the few schools in the US that can offer this as part of a CDL training program. These simulators will give you years of experience within a few days of simulation training. They get our students ready to master skills like shifting and driving on the road in a safe environment. Come in for a school tour and get a free demo on a simulator!
Our plan is to continue to open school locations throughout the US, however, as of now all of our CDL schools are located in New Jersey; Jackson Township, Linden, and Wayne, NJ. That being said, we have already had students enroll from all parts of the US including students who have come from Alaska, California, Florida, Hawaii, New York, Texas, and so many more.
We are able to train and test you no matter what state you currently live in. The way it works is that you must get the CDL permit in your own state first. Then, we would train you to pass the CDL road test. That will be followed by us giving you the CDL road test at our third-party testing site. Once you pass, we will send your test results back to your home state.
You will then be able to get your CDL once you go back to your local DMV office. You can tell them that you have passed your road test. They will look it up in their system to see that you are now on THE ROAD TO FREEDOM!
No you do not! We have many types of CDL courses available at Driving Academy. We have CDL half courses available for people who already have their permit. This course will get you ready to pass the CDL road test.
The CDL road test can only be done in English. This means you will have to understand verbal directions in English to take the test. However, the written tests can be done in Spanish or English. Driving Academy has instructors that can speak Spanish and help you get ready for the CDL road test!
When you order the driving simulator software, an installation will be made with all virtual environments, road signs and rules of the road adapted to your country. The language of the virtual instructor will be English. Contact us to order a research simulator licence or ask a question.
You will receive an invoice, and the installation will be uploaded to the server within 2-3 weeks after payment, from where you can download the installation by the links you will receive then via email.
It is then required that your computer can be accessed via TeamViewer to allow Carnetsoft to install the software on your computer AND that the operating system on your simulator computer has been set to English, see the support agreement. If for some reason this is not possible, Carnetsoft cannot do the installation. However, the installation manual can be downloaded here so you can do the installation yourself if you follow all steps..
The regular licence is for 3-channel rendering plus a monitor for the user interface. Three channel rendering means that there are 3 monitors for the rendering channels: one for the forward view, one for the left view and one for the right view. This gives a wide horizontal field of view (5760 x 1080 pixels) .
More recently the term driving simulator is used more often for gaming software. This type of driving simulators, or car simulator, is used just for fun and is not really related to normal car driving. They are more like racing simulators, but even then the driving experience is aimed at increasing the fun factor and not to replicate real car driving, see for example the games Project Cars and Need for Speed.
Real driving also requires the driver to look around because visual scanning is an important part of driving, but since most games use only one monitor, visual scanning is not a serious part of these so called driving simulator games.
The driving simulator software runs on a PC and includes 15 databases (highway, town, village, roundabouts, etc.) and 51 lessons. In addition, there are 13 simulations in different databases where the driver can drive freely through a database.
The research driving simulator software extension has been developed with the help of experienced behavioural researchers to become the toolset of choice for creating behavioural experiments into car driving and human factors. The extensive toolset consists of software
