Drivesim - Module 1
Initial track training
Essential basics: first contact with the vehicle
This module provides a safe and controlled introduction to the world of driving, allowing trainees to master basic vehicle controls before facing real traffic. Ideal for training centers that prioritize the safety and initial confidence of their students.
Key exercises
1. Evaluation of vehicle controls
Target:
Identify and correctly use all essential controls.
Activities:
Practical recognition of pedals (accelerator, brake, clutch), gearshift and safety systems.
Response tests with simulated failures (warning lights, fuel gauges).
Educational benefit:
Prevents common mistakes such as confusing pedals or ignoring dashboard alerts.
2. Shifting gears in a straight line
Target:
Master motor coordination in manual and automatic transmissions.
Activities:
Progressive acceleration and downshifting on straight stretches of 200 meters.
Practice with different clutch sensitivities (simulation of diesel/gasoline vehicles).
Educational benefit:
Reduces premature clutch wear in actual practice.
3. Turning techniques (ring and elliptic)
Target:
Develop directional control and trajectory calculation.
Activities:
Closed-loop turns with adjustable diameters (8-20 meters).
Practice on ellipticals with variable radius and real-time feedback.
Educational benefit:
Prepares for complex intersections and curves on secondary roads.
4. Reversing and space control
Target:
Acquire precision in reverse maneuvers and parking.
Activities:
In-line parking next to virtual curbs with space limits.
Reverse turns on narrow streets (simulation of historic urban areas).
Educational benefit:
Prevents damage to vehicles during parking practices.
5. Combined exercise (ramp, zigzag and parking lots).
Target:
Integrate multiple skills in a unified scenario.
Activities:
Ramps: Starting on slope without rollback (with/without handbrake).
ZigzagDodge moving obstacles at variable distances.
ParkingIn line, battery and oblique with progressive difficulty.
Educational benefit:
Simulates international practical examination conditions.
