With the number of road accidents involving commercial vehicles growing dismally high, it is good to know that the city’s first-ever ‘Heavy Vehicle Driving Simulator’ and training centre will be operational by the end of the month. The system works on the same lines as the flight simulator used for training pilots and will help users to experience driving in all weather conditions and on all possible terrain. The Industrial Training Institute of the All India Shri Shivaji Memorial Society (AISSMS) has developed a special training module with the help of the simulator for drivers of heavy vehicles, including buses and trucks.
