I-Sim Awarded Driving Simulator Contract for Tennessee Technology Center

    SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 16 -- I-Sim Corporation, a leading
developer and manufacturer of driving-simulation equipment, today announced it
has signed an agreement with the Tennessee Technology Center at Shelbyville to
construct a TranSim(TM) driving simulator for its truck driver training.
    The TranSim simulator teaches drivers of all experience levels the proper
way to shift a variety of truck transmissions over a wide range of grades
while pulling an assortment of loads.  More than 140 transmissions and 280
different engines from a variety of manufacturers can be simulated by the
TranSim.
    The simulator also provides instantaneous miles-per-gallon feedback to
drivers and trainers, helping drivers improve fuel economy through better
shifting.  Fuel savings can amount to $40,000 to $100,000 per 100 drivers each
year.
    "The transmission simulator is the most technologically advanced tool used
in the skill development of student drivers," said Ronald Adcock, director of
the Tennessee Technology Center at Shelbyville.  "It [the simulator] will
enforce good driving habits being taught in the classroom before the students
get behind the wheel of the actual vehicle.  This tool makes for a more
self-confident student, which allows for focus on safe driving habits."
    "The TranSim has proven successful in teaching students how to shift
correctly, while making the training process safer and more economical," said
Reg Welles, president and CEO of I-Sim.  "The TranSim actually reduces
training time and allows students more hours on the road before the completion
of their training programs."
    Founded in 1964, the Tennessee Technology Center at Shelbyville was the
first of 26 schools statewide to be governed by the Tennessee Board of Regents
and accredited by the Commission on Occupational Education.  The center
currently offers several preparatory, full-time programs, including automotive
technology, auto body repair, industrial electricity/electronics, machine &
tool technology, computer operations technology, and truck driving, which was
added to the curriculum in August 1996.
    Headquartered in Salt Lake City, I-Sim Corporation is a leading developer
of high-performance wheeled-vehicle simulators for driver training in the law
enforcement, trucking, military, research and emergency-vehicle markets.
    I-Sim's simulators provide highly realistic driving experiences without
the risk and expense associated with real-world training. For more information
