Autopistas: Training in Road Safety for Roadway Personnel

Autopistas, a subsidiary of Abertis in Spain, is a benchmark in road infrastructure management in Spain. As part of their commitment to road safety, they undertook a digital transformation project to train all professionals working in the field, from operators to control centers, in road safety procedures with an innovative, interactive and highly visual approach.

1 The challenge

Autopistas needed to digitize road safety training for more than 1,000 track professionals across Spain. With only two trainers, they faced the challenge of training a diverse audience, including maintenance operators and control personnel, with rigorous and tailored content.

2 Our proposal

A digital course was created in Storyline 360 for a safety-critical environment. The training included animated videos, custom illustrations, professional voiceover and mandatory quizzes, adjusting the narrative for each type of employee to ensure understanding and assimilation of the concepts.

3 The results

The project was completed in less than a year, with high quality audiovisual production and excellent acceptance among employees. This online course helped to standardize training, improve operational safety and reduce risks in the field.

Digitizing safety-critical training

The Autopistas team faced a key challenge: offering classroom training to all personnel working on the runway - more than 1,000 people - with only two trainers in the entire country. The training focused on critical aspects of road safety, detailing how to act correctly in risky environments.

In addition, the target audience had very diverse needs:

Maintenance operators: without regular access to a desk or advanced technical training.
Tolls and area managers.
COPs (Road Network Operations Centers): responsible for coordinating and monitoring in real time the behavior on the runway through cameras.
All of them should receive adapted, understandable and rigorous contents.

An immersive, visual and accessible online course

A digital course was developed in Storyline 360, designed specifically for an environment where safety depends on details.

The training combined multiple interactive resources to maximize learning:

Animated videos in Vyond and animations in After Effects, with realistic movements of vehicles and people.
Tailor-made illustrations reflecting real day-to-day situations.
Professional, clear and effective voice-over, which facilitated understanding for non-technical groups.
Complementary reading documents to reinforce key concepts.
Mandatory block tests to advance, guaranteeing the assimilation of contents.

The narrative was adapted for each group, starting with maintenance workers and adjusting according to function or level of responsibility.
