Schneider Driver Training | Realistic VR Driving Simulator (DRIV_R)

CLIENT
Schneider National

OBJECTIVE
Increase driver awareness and improve health and safety.

APPROACH
VR driver training modules deployed via blended approach with immersive VR headset and e-learning modules.

The Problem

Vehicle accidents cost companies $60 billion each year in legal and medical expenses, property damage and lost employee productivity. More than 1/5 of truck drivers who were involved in a fatal crash had previous crashes on their record. Even within private fleets, which fare 3x better than the rest of the industry, accident rates remain largely the same.

The Solution – Driving Simulator in VR

To increase driver safety, SHIIFT created short, less than 15-minute immersive VR driver training modules. After each VR module session, each user is asked 5-10 multiple choice questions to test comprehension of what was retained during the VR training.

Training content included:

• Street skills
• Pre-trip checks
• Vehicle maintenance
• Yard skills

This training is a user centered experience. Every touchpoint is intuitive and easy to follow. Trainees are able to self-manage elements of their learning.
