Program Seeks To Lower Accidents
Fewer accidents on the nation’s
highways, streets and freeways
may be found in a program under
way at Texas A&M this week.
Teacher educators and high
school driver education teachers
are studying new concepts of
training new drivers — and re
training old “accidents” looking
for a place to happen — in a Driv
er Education Seminar.
Space-age electronics and a six-
car range on which an instructor
can teach six drivers at a time
are being used to show driver
educators new programs and time
saving techniques.
The seminar co-sponsored by
A&M, the Texas Highway De
partment and Department of Pub
lic Safety, Texas Education Agen
cy, Governor’s office and insur
ance firms is putting 48 partici
pants behind the wheel and in the
teaching position.
EQUPIMENT SUPPLIED by
three insurance companies —
Aetna, Allstate and Farmers In
surance Group — and facilities
furnished by A&M and the High
way Department district in Bryan
are located at the Research An
nex on Highway 21 West.
Instructors and teachers train
under special teaching consultants
at four stations, rotating each
two hours.
In the drivocator, motion pic
ture, filmstrip and audiotape are
mixed to acquaint the student with
factors affecting driving, rules of
the road, basic skills, city, open
road and adverse driving condi
tions, emergencies and defensive
driving.
Thirty hours minimum are re
quired for the program, in which
60 students may be instructed and
tested electronically, with individ
ual response controls.
TWO SYSTEMS of driving sim
ulator are employed in the week-
long seminar. Both utilize movie
projectors to give the driving
situation. Responses are checked
automatically. One system in
jects the capability of automatic
test scoring.
Both the drivotrainer and driv
er trainer show pictures filmed
from the driver’s head position.
The multi-station simulator will
allow one instructor to teach 15
fledgling drivers at a time.
“As pilots learn to fly in the
Link trainer, youngsters learn
driving skills in the simulator,”
noted Ralph Jackson, Allstate
consultant.
“The hookup matches the in
dividual’s response to a driving
situation against a programmed
response. An incorrect decision
flashes a light, and the instructor
can make on-the-spot corrections
rather than waiting until the end
of a film when the error is on
the way to becoming a habit,” he
added.
Jackson pointed out that the
system allows for 'introduction of
a variety of high accident poten
tial situations which the student
may not get in moving traffic.
“The instructor can talk to the
student more in the simulator. In
a moving auto, a talking instruc
tor splits the student’s attention
which is already on a ragged
edge anyway,” he went on.
Both systems develop percep
tive skills and train the student
to look and think ahead of his
car.
Instruction is alternated be
tween the simulators and driving
range, where the student puts
into actual practice what he has
learned indoors.
The seminar range, marked off
on an old Bryan AFB runway,
trains in auto starting, backing
and stopping procedures. Con
trol, positioning, angle and paral
lel parking, straight driving, mak
ing turns and utilizing merging
lanes such as on freeways are
included.
The instructor uses a walkie-
talkie received through the spe
cially rigged regular car radio.
He controls movement of six or
more cars from a central point.
The system substantially re
duces costs of standard opera
tion, requiring a teacher per stu
dent.
“We have two major objec
tives,” commented Lewis M.
Spears, state director of driver
education in the state education
agency.
“Leading driver educators of
20 state areas are here to improve
the quality of driver education,
through simulation, range and re
sponse systems.”
“We also hope to prepare teach
ers, who are training the state’s
future drivers.”
Driver education teachers par
ticipating are from Houston, Dal
las, Beaumont, El Paso, Tyler,
Midland, Lubbock, Waco, Amaril
lo, McAllen, Corpus Christi, Wic
hita Falls, Lufkin and Big Spring
school systems. Driver education
teacher instructors from Texas
Tech, Southwest Texas, S. F. Aus- |
tin, Abilene Christian, Prairie
View A&M, Howard Payne, Bay
lor, Pan American, University of
Houston, Lamar State and A&M
are involved.

RADIO - CONTROLLED DRIVERS

moving auto range of a Driver Education Seminar at Texas A&M University. He uses
a walkie-talkie received by the regular car radio, which has been adapted to citizens band
frequency. Student drivers find all intersections, turns, highway and street markings on
the six-car range.
