B -- FEASIBILITY OF NEW SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY TO TRAINING NOVICE DRIVERS SOL DTNH22-95-R-05104 DUE 051295 POC Contact Richard Dixon, Contract Specialist at (202) 366-9563 The National Highway Traffics Safety Administration intends to issue a solicitation to conduct a study to determine the feasibility of developing and using some type or form of electronic simulation to enhance the safety training of young novice drivers. The contract shall conduct a state-of-art literature review to identify potential uses of simulation in the training of novice drivers and to identify current electronic devices that could be used for the simulation; conduct a workshop with national experts to discuss the conceptual procedures and potential application for simulation; and, recommend development of simulation applications and refinement of current electronic devices for use in the training of novice drivers. These recommendations shall include estimated costs and schedules needed for the development and pilot testing of procedures and devices. Recommendations for needed long- term research for those application not currently readily available also shall be provided. Relevant contract activities shall be documented in a Final Report. The proposed contract will be award for a twelve (12) month performance period. Requests for this solicitation must be in writing.
