To Teach Safe Driving Techniques
The teaching of driver and
safety education entered the
computer age at A. and T. State
University this week when the
University was presented a $28,
000 driver simulation machine
by the All-State Insurance Co.
of Northbrook, 111.
According to Dr. Isaac Bar
|Oett, director of safety educa
tion at A. and T., the facility
is one of the few of its kind in
the state for the teaching of
driver education.
j 'TThis machine records driv
1 ing errors on a digital computer
i so the teacher will know exactly
what mistakes are made and
when they are made," said Bar
| Baraett said the facility will
be used in the preparation of
teachers of driver and safety
education. The machine is sim
, ilar to the link trainer used by
the; National Aeronautics and

(Continued on Page 11)
to provide realistic pre-Qight
training experiences for the as
tronauts.
Bamett said the major air
line companies also use a 'simi
lar machine to teach prospective
pilots.
He said the A. and T. machine
will be primarily used to de
velop perception in traffic.
"This machine can actually set
up a more realistic situation
practicing in an automobile,"
added Bamett.
With the new machine, a
teacher can instinct from eight
to 16 students at the same time.
"There is absolutely no way to
fool this machine,? said Bar
nett. "When 9 student driver
commits one of the driving er
rors, a light win come on im
mediately." That way, both the
student and the teacher will
know that something is wrong."
The machine was -presented to
A. and T. by Ralph 3. Jackson,
manager of toe driver education
section of AD-Sttfte.
"North Carolina has lagged
behind many states in the teach
ing of driver education," said
Jackson, "we hope this facility
will enable A. and T. to improve
its own teaching procedures."
Also taking part in the presen
tation was Lar ry Phillips, a
consultant for safety and driver
education with Ifcel Department
of Public Instruction in Raleigh.
