Additional features

Replay Studio™ After-Action Review Software

Overview

Acron Aviation Replay Studio™ gives you the tools you need to perform a thorough review of the training session while gaining valuable lessons learned.

The Replay Studio™ camera records every action, reaction, and nuance of a driver’s physical performance while training on the simulator. Once the session is complete the instructor can simultaneously replay video feedback of the driver, and scenario playback of the simulation to review how a student reacts physically as well as mentally to the situation.

Benefits

  • Video feedback of the driver, scenario playback of the simulation, vehicle state and 3D views are all synchronized for seamless replay
  • View replay on a separate system to free up the simulator for training
  • Change 3D view quickly by dragging with the mouse
  • Train one student or an entire classroom by replaying the video to illustrate proper and improper driving techniques

User interface

  • The interface is designed to give you all the information you need to assess both the driver’s performance and vehicle’s state during a training session
  • The SimTile panel reports ongoing scenario and driver information. Its vehicle indicators help assess handling dynamics. They continuously monitor steering-wheel position, brake, clutch, accelerator, speedometer, RPM and other variables
  • The detailed Play-by-Play screen lists events and violations. Clicking on the event or violation takes the replay directly to that point in the simulation, enabling the instructor to quickly move from one event to the next
  • The Sliding Rule feature gives the instructor total control of video replay. Rewind or fast forward to the exact point of interest in slow motion detail
  • Video feedback of the driver is so tightly synchronized with the 3D scenario and simulator views that there is no skipping or lag time between the two. For example: It allows an instructor to review the driver’s scanning technique - where the driver was looking at the time of an event or violation

SkillSet™ Performance Assessment

Overview

Acron Aviation SkillSet™ software tests the driver’s response to tough situations. Through proper driving assessment and training, drivers can improve their decision-making process and become skilled at recognizing and managing risk.

Benefits

  • Instantly replay, review, and discuss a driver’s performance
  • Clearly define criteria to facilitate a fair and consistent evaluation
  • Consistent, tangible results across multiple instructors
  • Tailor training to improve individual aptitude or group certification
  • Instructors spend more time training and less time capturing results
  • Group reports facilitate evaluation of individuals, relative to the group
  • Bottom line: Improved safety training will reduce accidents and increase your ROI

Assessment measurement features

  • Startup and shutdown procedure
  • Space management
  • Turning
  • Backing
  • Speed management
  • Learning management system, enabling the instructor to schedule classes, preload student data, review performance and incorporate data from other simulators
