Abstract
This literature review is part of the “Improvement the ability of action of HZS JMK (fire brigade of the South Moravian region) - use the truck driving simulator in research, training and evaluation of driving behavior during driving a fire truck with active blue lights” project funded by Technology agency of the Czech Republic.
The work on this paper included a literature review of topics related to driving simulator training programs, primarily those published within the past two decades (2000–2020) and focused on truck and emergency service drivers. Acceptance of the program by participants was high, indications for the effectiveness of driver simulators for training have been found. Several research questions may need to be answered, particularly questions related to the level of realism, the predictive validity of driving simulators, simulator sickness, simulator-to-reality transfer of learning, and assessment of objective measures of driving performance. Despite the above mentioned limitations, the following article will present key problems solutions and evidence of positive results of simulator-based training.
