Guidance on utilizing simulation software for various traffic scenarios

According to regulations, the simulation software includes up to 120 exercises simulating various traffic situations. During the exam, the system will automatically present 10 simulation questions. Each question ranges from 0 to 5 points, and the time limit for each exercise is 10 minutes. To prepare for each scenario, for the driving test, first, refer to the instructions on using the simulation software for traffic scenarios if you are not familiar with it.

Guidelines on using the Simulation Software for Traffic Scenarios in the car driving test

1. Download and Install Simulation Software for Traffic Scenarios

* Installation Configuration Requirements
- Operating System: Windows 10 (32-bit or 64-bit), Windows 11 (32-bit or 64-bit)
- Free Hard Drive Space: 9.2 GB
- RAM: 1GB (32-bit) and 2GB (64-bit)

* Download Link
Download the 64-bit version of the traffic scenario simulation software HERE.
Download the 32-bit version of the traffic scenario simulation software HERE.

* Installation Procedure

After downloading and extracting the file, follow these steps to easily install the simulation software for traffic scenarios.

Step 1: Click on 'Setup' as shown in the image.

Step 2: Click 'Next'.

Step 3: Continue to click 'Next' to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 and K-lite Codec Pack tools on your computer.

* Note: If your computer already has these two tools, during installation, the software will notify you. You just need to close it and continue with the following installation steps.

In the case of Mytour, as they already have the K-lite Codec Pack and a version of Visual C++ newer than 2017, simply click 'Close' and then click 'Next' to complete the installation of this traffic scenario simulation software.

After successful installation, the software will be named Ontapmophong.

2. User Guide for Traffic Scenario Simulation Software

After installation, now you can use this simulation software to practice for the exam with the following instructions:

* Review potential traffic scenarios

Step 1: Open the Ontapmophong software that you installed earlier.

Step 2: On the left side, you'll find Review Section open. Depending on your preference, choose the appropriate chapter by clicking the arrow in front of the chapter name.
- Chapter 1: Traffic situations in busy city streets (29 questions).
- Chapter 2: Traffic situations in rural areas (14 questions).
- Chapter 3: Traffic situations on the highway (20 questions).
- Chapter 4: Traffic situations on mountain roads (10 questions).
- Chapter 5: Traffic situations on national roads (17 questions).
- Chapter 6: Simulations of typical traffic accidents (30 questions).

Step 3: Click on the round button next to each case as shown below.

Step 4: At the bottom left corner, click on the Play button.

The scenario video will appear and run with a countdown timer. If you detect a hazardous situation, press the spacebar to mark it. You can mark each situation only once. Once marked, you cannot mark another position. At the end of the scenario, your score will be displayed in the top right corner.

Scoring Method: Each scenario will be scored between 0 - 5 points (5 points for recognizing the hazardous situation at the right moment, and 0 points at the time of the accident). Repeat the process for different scenarios to practice various traffic situations.

* Guide on how to take the simulated test for potential traffic scenarios

Step 1: Open the Ontapmophong software.

Step 2: On the left side, click on 'Review' and choose 'Simulated Test' as shown. (Note: The software will present 10 traffic scenarios with a response time of 5 minutes. Each scenario is scored between 0-5 points, and to pass this simulated test, one must achieve 35/50 points).

Step 3: In the bottom left corner, click the Play button.

Step 4: Press the spacebar on your keyboard to mark the position you consider hazardous. When a situation arises, a countdown timer will appear. At the end of the time, the result will be displayed in the top right corner: the score along with the assessment of Pass or Fail.

Download the software to your computer and follow the instructions on using the simulation software for various traffic scenarios to practice regularly, handle situations with ease. This way, everyone can confidently take the driving test.
