On April 8 2025, as part of the MATIS project on the A63 motorway in the Landes region, we welcomed around sixty truck drivers to the newly redeveloped Lugos Est parking area for a safety dedicated SheWorks / I Care event.
Drivers had the opportunity to try out the new Human-Machine Interface, designed to let them easily enter their expected parking duration or departure time. Drivers familiar with similar systems in Germany highlighted the benefits of this version, particularly the clear parking layout and logic.
While a few drivers raised questions about potential equipment issues, the system’s real-time display, continuous monitoring by the Saugnac-et-Muret control centre, and maintained emergency access offered strong reassurance.
Many thanks to the drivers who joined us and shared their feedback to help improve the system.
