Service areas
VINCI Autoroutes continued its programme to modernise its service areas. Seventeen service areas were completely renovated in 2022. The buildings were retrofitted to improve energy efficiency and roof solar panels were installed. The indoor and outdoor spaces were entirely refurbished; new retail chains – especially fast-food outlets – were introduced to meet user expectations; and local cultural sites and products are now highlighted in purpose-designed stores or corner spaces. Like every year, the #BienArriver (Arrive safely) campaign returned to VINCI Autoroutes’ main service areas during the summer holiday weekends with exhibitions, workshops and fun activities on the environment for travellers to enjoy during their break.
Traffic news
VINCI Autoroutes is converging all its motorway operation tools and information systems, including its motorway media. Its “Performance Info Trafic” digital transformation programme, which it started rolling out in 2019, unites all the processes used to collect, qualify, process and disseminate traffic information, allowing it to provide motorway users with faster, more reliable and more comprehensive information.
Radio VINCI Autoroutes is the corner-stone of this system. It is the most listened to radio in its broadcasting zone with an average of 2.8 million listeners on heavy traffic days and has confirmed its position as the go-to motorway media. According to a 2022 Ipsos survey, 85% of listeners tuned into channel 107.7 for traffic news they could not find elsewhere, and 81% felt safer listening to it. The motorway user support system also includes the 3605 hotline, round-the-clock user support, the website www.vinci-autoroutes.com, 29 Twitter traffic newsfeeds by major corridor, and the maintenance and safety services’ daily news posts on the social networks.
