Abstract
A truck driving simulator is provided, comprising a simulated cab with a steering wheel and dashboard layout, foot pedals (accelerator, clutch, brake), gear shifting mechanism, and a video screen. In another embodiment, a series of such simulators may be placed in a classroom together with a single large screen video monitor or television at the front of the class, so that multiple students can follow along with the video simulation under the supervision of a teacher or instructor. The video monitor(s) may be used to show video footage of the actual route that will be used to test the drivers for their trucker's license. This arrangement allows students to repeatedly practice driving the actual course used for their driver's license test, and to learn concepts like clutching, double clutching and switching gears without risking damage to an actual truck and transmission.
