TRAINING ON TECKNOSIM RIDER

The training Modules on TecknoSim has been divided into four separate categories with increasing level of difficulty

I. Cockpit drill : The aim of this module is tofamiliarize the rider to vehicle controls &explain the on the Use of these Controlstowards safe driving .It will include pictures and video demonstrations of:

• Introduction to Bike Controls
• Pre riding inspection
• Safety Check of the controls
• Safety Tips

II. Comfort Drive: The aim of this module is toget the rider used to vehicle controls & simulator drive. It will consist of two courses: Level 1 City and Level1 Highway. The comfort drive courses will feature:

• Day time drive
• Low Traffic
• Simple route
• No Hazards

III. Convenient Drive: The module is aimed at teaching riding skills under a variety ofSimulated Environment. The ConvenientDrive will feature:

• Medium Traffic
• Driving during Day and Night
• Defensive riding Scenarious with Level 1 hazards
• Riding in adverse weather conditions: Rain and Fog

IV. Complex Drive:

The aim of this module is to give the rider an experience of driving under hazardous conditionsin a complex environment.

Visual Databases:

City terrain with 3 levels of Courses Featuring:

• Hospital
• School parks,
• Traffic junction &flyovers, intersections,speed breakers
• Road under construction
• Market place
• By lanes
• One way and Two way roads

Highway terrain with level of courses featuring:

• Two lane and 3 lane highway
• Unmanned railway crossing
• Tunnels
• Accident scenarios
• Ghats and hilly region
• Foggy weather conditions

Hazard Perception Training“Face the Hazards, Not the Risk.”

Learners learn better when they are engaged and they learn faster when the practice is richerand closer to the actual application environment, TecknoSim gives you both. TecknoSim has adapted the actual riding training features from the real world and in fact can ramp up thedifficulty as the learner gets practice, taking him from elementary challenges to the full skill. TecknoSim also provides detailed assessment and feedback in a standardized format involving no human error.

Real training has risks & limitations in putting a person in a truck directly, but with simulatorswe can run them over snow, rain , fog, engine failure etc everything that we cannot do in the real world. A rider may go his entire life without ever experiencing a brake failure, but when ithappens it can be dangerous. However TecknoSim can train and prepare the riders with someof these life endangering situations.

TecknoSim allows new riders to practice over and over again on basic skills of maneuvering. We can put the rider on the simulator and run him through the same exercise for around 20 timesin 30 mins which is impossible to do on real training. With various trails we have found that wecan put inexperienced riders in the simulator for an hour they are ready to go out on road withmuch more confidence.

The Dangerous scenarios adopted in the simulator are replicated from real life Indian traffic conditions giving the rider near life like experience.

Concept Ideas for Implementation of Rider:

The number of people riding motorcycles has been steadily increasing for the past 10 years, andaccordingly the number of motorcycle accident casualties and fatalities has also been rising.Research Shows that motorcyclists are extremely vulnerable compared to car drivers, and aremore likely to suffer death or serious injury on the roads. The most common reasons forMotorcycle accidents are:

• Excess Speed
• Bad Weather
• Steep bends
• Right of way violations

Safe Riding is a skill for life and any skill needs to be practiced, honed and developed.TecknoSim Simulators can impart the lessons to improve the skills and promote the experiencethe joy of motorcycling in India
