Replay Studio™ After-Action review software

Overview	Driver Training Solutions' 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	Driver Training Solutions' 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.

FAQs

How does DeliverySim™ make our delivery routes safer?

DeliverySim™ is all about safety in last-mile delivery operations. It lets your drivers practice navigating busy city streets, residential neighborhoods, and loading zones in a virtual environment where mistakes don’t cause harm. Drivers can encounter pedestrians stepping into the road, sudden traffic jams, tight alleyways, and all the common delivery hazards, and learn to handle them calmly and correctly. By reinforcing defensive driving habits and hazard awareness, DeliverySim™ significantly reduces preventable collisions on the job. Your drivers will be far less likely to back into an obstacle or misjudge a turn after they’ve rehearsed those scenarios in the simulator. The result is safer deliveries, fewer fender-benders, and a stronger safety record for your fleet.

Can using DeliverySim™ save our fleet money and improve ROI?

Absolutely. Even minor delivery vehicle accidents (a scraped van or damaged property) can be surprisingly expensive when you factor in repair costs, insurance impacts, and lost productivity. By preventing accidents, DeliverySim™ directly cuts those costs. It also trains drivers in fuel-efficient, smooth driving techniques, important for stop-and-go delivery routes, which can yield noticeable fuel savings and lower maintenance bills. Additionally, better training reduces employee turnover; drivers who feel confident and supported tend to stay longer. DeliverySim™ is a relatively low investment that pays off through less damage, less fuel burned, and more efficient, reliable deliveries. The ROI often becomes evident within the first year or two of use, especially for fleets with many vehicles on the road.

How realistic is the DeliverySim™ experience for drivers?

It’s highly realistic and engaging. The DeliverySim™ setup puts drivers in a replica delivery vehicle cab, complete with a steering wheel, pedals, mirrors, and even an adjustable seat, so the physical feel is authentic. The visuals simulate typical delivery environments (urban streets, suburban neighborhoods, loading docks) with life-like detail, and the system generates realistic traffic, pedestrians, and hazards. Drivers can even practice specific maneuvers like parallel parking a delivery van or backing up to a loading bay, with the simulator providing immediate feedback. Importantly, the scenarios can incorporate weather and time-of-day as well (e.g., driving a route on a rainy night versus a clear afternoon). This immersive training means your drivers won’t be surprised by challenging conditions in real life; they’ll have essentially “been there, done that” in the sim. Many trainees report that after DeliverySim™ sessions, driving the actual route feels familiar and easier to manage.

Can DeliverySim™ cover different vehicle types and delivery scenarios that our drivers handle?

Yes, DeliverySim™ is very flexible. It can simulate a range of delivery vehicle types from small cargo vans up to medium-duty trucks, so you can train drivers across your fleet. The simulator’s software includes a broad variety of scenarios: downtown city deliveries with heavy traffic, residential deliveries with children playing nearby, rural route driving with animals on the road, and more. You can expose drivers to difficult scenarios (e.g., a sudden vehicle cut-off, an icy driveway, or an unexpected road closure) that would be hard or dangerous to practice in real life. Instructors can customize scenarios as needed or use the built-in library of exercises to address common delivery challenges. Whether your team delivers in dense urban centers or wide-open country roads, DeliverySim™ can recreate those settings. This full-spectrum training ensures every driver is prepared for the unique demands of their route and vehicle.
