Opportunities for technology-supported driver training

In order to investigate how advanced training instruments may be used to replace vehicle-based training, or how they may be used to train skills that currently can not be trained, it is necessary to examine the strenghts and weaknesses of current driver training programs. This issue is adressed in chapter 2. Chapters 3 and 4 adress the opportunities of Computer based Instruction (CBI) and simulator for the training of driving skills, and the technological and educational demands for realizing these opportunities. It is concluded that advanced learning technologies provide ample opportunities for improving current driver training programs, but successful application in practice requires a series of questions to be solved. These are presented in chapter 5.
