Impact of the use of driving simulators on the quality of driver candidate training

The purpose of the article is to consider the features of obtaining driver's licenses in different countries and the relationship between working on a simulator and the results of driving exams. Simulators are increasingly used to train drivers, which makes it possible to collect objective data on the qualifications of drivers in standardized conditions. However, relatively little is known about how the skills learned on the novice driver simulator relate to driving on roads. This study offers a theoretical framework to quantify driver qualifications in terms of task speed, violations, and errors.
