Industry

Non-profit public education

Practice Area:

Railway safety

Target Audience:

Drivers of all types of trucks

Challenge:

Operation Lifesaver wanted to address the unique challenges in training drivers of all types of trucks in the procedures for safe rail crossings and to help them make sound decisions at railroad crossing. They wanted to maximize student access by building an appealing online learning experience.

Solution:

We partnered with Operation Lifesaver to focus on truck driver safety, as statistics show approximately one out of four railroad crossing crashes involves vehicles that require a Commercial Driver License (CDL) to operate; that includes all sizes of trucks from larger over-the-road vehicles, to your local delivery trucks.

The e-learning solution we created with Operation Lifesaver provides a simulated driving environment allowing drivers to work independently and expose them to worst-case scenarios requiring quick thinking and critical decision-making. Since June 9, about 15,000 truck drivers have taken the e-learning course.
