Therefore it is very important that people working on the road learn to do their work in a safe way.

However it is complicated to learn these procedures in a real situation. At this moment the training is often done in a room where trainees practice with magnets or similar to simulate a situation. But this does not present a very realistic situation of the actions and the precautions that need to be taken.

In this VR training we simulate practical situations and trainees train in a safe and realistic way. The employees learns to place signs at the right place. The goal is to divert the traffic the right way so there is a safe place for the people to work on the roadside.

This training is unique because the trainee immediately sees the consequences if a sign is place at the wrong place. The impact on the traffic that drives on the road is directly shown.
