Doron Announces the Release of New Commercial Driver Training Program
Binghamton, NY, September 2004

Doron Precision Systems, Inc. announces the release of a new commercial driver training program that will support companies and training schools in their efforts to improve driver safety, lower training costs, and increase profit margins. This new 32-minute program, “Commercial Driver Skills Development”, contains three drive segments developed with the guidance of nationally recognized truck training and safety education experts. Jim Hall, NTSB Chairman, says, “Simulator training can prepare operators to respond appropriately to hazardous conditions and thus prevent accidents.”

Review of critical incidents within each drive provides drivers with the opportunity to practice their truck driving skills throughout three different driving segments. The interactive segments involve driving on an open two lane road through hilly and curvy terrain interstate situations, an interstate stop at a weigh station, and an urban setting with railroad crossings and high traffic volume.

This program is shot with high-resolution digital video cameras mounted to a tractor-trailer cab performing “live drives”. Days worth of footage is edited down to 23 minutes to create a training rich interactive DVD. The program takes advantage of Doron’s DVD technology to offer the highest quality audiovisuals while incorporating vital features such as bar coding. Instructors use navigational capabilities provided by the standard wireless DVD remote control to address any frame, forward/reverse one frame at time, or quickly advance to specific sections within the drives.
