THE EXPERIENCE

Discover a new level of immersive education with the Real-Time Feedback System (RTFS), a groundbreaking feature designed to enhance impairment awareness. RTFS bridges the gap between perception and reality by providing immediate feedback during simulation activities. Participants gain firsthand insight into their performance, especially when simulating impairments like THC, where recognizing the impact can be more subtle. By experiencing the consequences of risky decisions in real-time, participants walk away with an “aha” moment that resonates far beyond the activity.

 

HOW IT WORKS

RTFS integrates seamlessly into DIES Driving Mat activities, including simulations for THC, opioids, polydrug use, drowsy, and distracted driving. When participants make risky decisions or errors—such as veering off course, speeding, or running a red light—the system delivers immediate feedback through steering wheel vibrations and audible alerts. This real-time response mirrors the dangers of impaired driving, highlighting poor judgment and its potential consequences. Afterward, instructors can review these moments with participants to reinforce key lessons and drive meaningful conversations about safe decision-making.

 

BENEFITS

  • Immediate Awareness: Participants instantly recognize errors, fostering a deeper understanding of impaired decision-making.
  • Enhanced Engagement: Real-time alerts make simulation activities more dynamic and impactful.
  • Customized Scenarios: Adaptable to multiple impairment types and driving behaviors.
  • Powerful Takeaways: Helps participants acknowledge their performance decline and overcome denial about impairment.
