Train Drivers for the Situations That Cause Fleet Incidents
Simulation-based training that targets the behaviors behind fleet incidents and improves driver performance.
Cut Fleet Incidents by More Than 20%
Fleet incidents aren’t random. They’re caused by repeatable driver behaviors: missed hazards, distraction, backing errors, and slow decision-making. These patterns increase claims, drive up insurance costs, and put drivers at risk.
Advanced Driver Safety (ADS) targets the scenarios behind your most common incidents, including time-on-task situations, low-visibility conditions, and high-traffic environments. Drivers train in simulation where conditions can be repeated, measured, and corrected before they become accidents.
Reduce Risk. Improve Performance. Lower Costs.
ADS integrates into fleet operations without added complexity and supports consistent training across locations and vehicle types. Fleets can use ADS for new driver onboarding, ongoing training, and refresher programs.
Drivers train in:
- A wide range of passenger and commercial vehicle types
- Backing and parking maneuvers
- Distracted driving and pedestrian awareness
- Urban, highway, and adverse weather conditions
ADS Features at a Glance
Unlimited Training Usage
There’s no per-driver cost and no usage cap, so you can train your entire fleet without managing seat licenses.
Dynamic Training Interface
Every session presents changing conditions, requiring drivers to adapt and make real-time decisions instead of repeating memorized actions.
Choose Between Fleets
Drivers train in vehicle types that match real job conditions, improving skill transfer and on-road performance. Training covers hazard detection, space management, parking, and crash-related situations.
Measure Performance
Vantage reporting provides clear insight into driver performance, including reaction time, awareness, and decision-making. Fleet managers can identify high-risk drivers early and intervene before unsafe behaviors turn into incidents.
Distracted Driving Prevention
Drivers experience the impact of distractions such as phone use, navigation, and in-vehicle interruptions in a simulated environment.
15 Structured Lessons
ADS includes 15 distinct lessons so that instructors can create their own curriculum, refresher courses, or driver intervention programs.

"We’ve seen a 38% reduction in crashes."
Since July 2013 when we implemented the simulator in our facility, we’ve seen a 38% reduction in crashes. And, so far this year, we are trending well below last year’s numbers.
"Since the simulator is portable, it also allows us to save on travel expenses by bringing the simulator to the employees."
The Virtual HD® simulator allows us to address driver safety in a new and exciting forum, as opposed to the traditional meeting forum, to continue to drive our safe driving focus. Since the simulator is portable, it also allows us to save on travel expenses by bringing the simulator to the employees, which helps us logistically. The virtual lessons compliment and parallel our current Smith System driving philosophy giving us a more consistent safe driving message.
"The simulation-based driver safety training has considerably reduced accident rates in the Suncoast District during our trial period compared to the same period last year."
VDI’s driving simulators have proven to be a cost-effective and engaging way to provide refresher training before and us post office logo image after accidents to our Postal Carriers and Tractor/Trailer Operators. More importantly, the simulation-based driver safety training has considerably reduced accident rates in the Suncoast District during our trial period compared to the same period last year. In fact, we have had only one backing accident since we got the simulator in Tampa compared to last year when there were 26!

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about simulation-based driver training? Find answers below or reach out to our team.
What is fleet driver simulation training?
Fleet driver simulation training allows drivers to practice high-risk driving scenarios in a controlled setting, improving performance before incidents occur on the road.
How does simulation reduce fleet incidents?
Simulation improves awareness, reaction time, and decision-making by exposing drivers to high-risk situations during training. This allows fleets to correct unsafe behaviors before they lead to accidents or operational disruptions.
How can fleets lower insurance premiums?
Insurers reward fleets that actively manage driver risk. Consistent training records, performance data, and documented incident reduction are the strongest factors in negotiating lower premiums. Simulation-based training makes that documentation harder to dispute.
What vehicle types does ADS support?
ADS covers a wide range of passenger and commercial vehicle types, so drivers train in conditions that match their actual job requirements.
