Results from field experiments and accident data analyses suggest that the majority of the problems experienced by military drivers using I2 devices, such as night vision goggles (NVGs) can be attributed to a limited understanding of their capabilities and limitations and to perceptual problems. In addition, there is evidence that skills for using NVDs for driving are highly perishable and require frequent practice for sustainment. At the present time there is little formal training available to help drivers obtain the required knowledge and skills and little opportunity to obtain and practice perceptual skills with representative imagery and scenarios prior to driving in the operational environment. The Night Driving Training Aid (NDTA) was developed for the U.S. Army to address this training deficiency. We previously reported interim results of our work to identify and validate training requirements, to develop instructional materials and customized instructional software, and to deliver the instruction in a multimedia, interactive PC environment. In this paper we focus on describing and illustrating the features and capabilities of the final prototype NDTA. In addition, we discuss technical and training issues addressed and lessons learned for developing a low cost, effective PC-based night driving training aid.
