Autostrade per l’Italia

The VR training application developed for Autostrade per l’Italia is designed to simulate the complex and high-risk scenario of narrowing the overtaking lane within active highway environments. This operational phase requires precise coordination, technical knowledge, and strict adherence to safety protocols. Even minor procedural errors, miscalculations, or distractions can generate dangerous situations with severe consequences for both road workers and drivers. The immersive experience recreates realistic traffic flows, environmental conditions, and worksite configurations, allowing operators to practice correct positioning of signage, barriers, service vehicles, and protective systems. Every element of the simulation is built to reflect real operational dynamics, including vehicle speed, driver behavior variability, visibility constraints, and environmental stress factors. The objective is not only procedural repetition, but the development of situational awareness and risk anticipation skills. Through interactive decision-making sequences, trainees are exposed to evolving scenarios where timing, placement accuracy, and hazard recognition directly influence the outcome. The system provides immediate feedback, enabling users to understand the impact of their actions and refine their approach in a safe, controlled environment. This method significantly reduces exposure to real-world danger while improving operational readiness. The project integrates advanced 3D modeling, real-time rendering, behavioral simulation, and instructional design principles to ensure both technical accuracy and training effectiveness. By combining immersive realism with measurable performance metrics, the application transforms critical highway safety procedures into structured learning experiences that enhance competence, confidence, and long-term risk reduction in field operations.
