Assignee: ADVANCED TRAINING SYSTEMS, INC.
Field: Control (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 13:
14. A training system comprising:
a computer, the computer having means for storing data;
a plurality of simulation segments stored in the means for storing the data, the plurality of simulation segments accessible by the computer;
one or more graphics displays, at least one of the one or more graphics displays simulates a windshield of a target vehicle, the computer has means for generating images on the one or more graphics displays;
one or more input devices, the one or more input devices corresponding to control devices of the target vehicle comprising a gas pedal input device and a steering input device, the one or more input devices are operatively coupled to the computer;
software running on the computer causes the computer to present a simulation segment of the plurality of simulation segments; in such, the software running on the computer causes the computer to display a content of the simulation segment on one or more of the one or more graphics displays, thereby the software running on the computer causes the computer to simulate an operation of the target vehicle;
concurrently, the software running on the computer causes the computer to collect data from the one or more input devices; and
the software running on the computer causes the computer to analyze the data, a current state of the training system, and the simulation segment and to determine if a potential future issue exists, the potential future issue being related to a collision with an object within the simulation segment; at a time when it is determined that the potential future issue exists, the software running on the computer causes the computer to emit an informational message that provides a hint regarding the potential future issue, the informational message comprising text displayed on at least one of the one or more graphics displays, the text provides training.
