Upcoming Training Programs – Vehicle Dynamics and Exercise Design

Posted by tscotti on October 9, 2009

Course Dates – October 15th & 16th

COURSE OVERVIEW

This innovative train-the-trainer course is specifically designed to provide driving instructors with the knowledge, skill and ability to:

 Design scenario-based exercises which closely replicate specific driving conditions, operating environments and hazards.

 Conduct exercises that support the gathering of specific information and data that allow for the testing and evaluation of an individual driver’s performance.

 Use readily available tools and easily applied concepts to collect and analyze the data needed to objectively evaluate a driver’s ability to perform effectively in a wide variety of situations.

 CURRICULUM

This program consists of classroom-based discussion, followed by extensive hands-on learning through instructor led practical exercises.  Core subjects that will be covered in-depth include:

 An Objective Approach to Training and Evaluation

Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics

Critical Measurements, Formulas and Equations

Translating Technical Information into Useful Information

 Practical Application of Vehicle Dynamics 

Exercise Design Parameters

What the Exercise Tells Us

Identifying and Correcting Problems

Building Block Approach to Training/Evaluation 

  OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of the course, participants will have an in-depth understanding of how the laws of physics and the science of vehicle dynamics – how forces placed upon a moving vehicle effect its performance – can be applied to driver training as a means of both improving driver performance and maximizing the effectiveness of available training time.

 With this new found knowledge, participants will have the ability to develop an objective driver performance evaluation process and describe the findings of the evaluation process in plain language that clearly articulates the importance and value of performance measures, quantifies the individual student’s improvement in driving ability and identifies areas for improvement. 

The cost of this program is $750.00.
