IMMERSIVE TRUESIGHT™ VR FOR TRAINING RAILWAY PERSONNEL
Technology can and should play an extremely productive role in enhancing training and briefing sessions for rail industry staff. Rather than relying on extensive instruction manuals and complex briefing material as explainers, through gamification we can tell the story in a quicker, more easily digestible way.
Leveraging the power of Unreal Engine, we can create accurate full-scale project site environments for training and briefing, allowing for a much quicker, clearer learning curve. Using available survey and design data and other contextual sources of data such as AIVR (Automated Intelligent Video Review) and BIM and design integration, we can provide enhanced visualisations that integrate with and complement other digital twin systems.
MIRRORING REAL WORLD RAILWAY OPERATIONS
Our TRUESIGHT™ virtual immersive technology is revolutionising the training landscape for railway personnel, offering innovative and effective ways to equip staff with the necessary skills and knowledge. Our technology leverages virtual reality (VR) and 3D simulations to create highly realistic, immersive environments that mirror real-world railway operations. By replicating everything from the interior of trains to complex track layouts, control rooms, and stations, this cutting-edge approach is enhancing training in ways that traditional methods simply cannot.
The result is procedurally-driven realistic landscapes (including photorealism if required), with vegetation and simulation of adverse conditions in weather and time of day. Rather than users being presented with a complex piece of software that attempts to do everything, the gamification of solutions strips away complexity but not usefulness.
HANDS ON EXPERIENCE IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT
One of the key advantages of OUR TRUESIGHT™ immersive technology is its ability to provide hands-on experience in a controlled environment. Train drivers, conductors, and health & safety staff can all practice their roles in virtual simulations that replicate everyday tasks, emergency scenarios, and rare operational challenges. For instance, train drivers can be trained to handle emergencies like signal failures, brake malfunctions, or extreme weather conditions, allowing them to experience and react to high-stress situations without any real-world risk. This makes training both safer and more thorough.
TRAINING FOR ALL

Control Room Operators
Control room operators can be trained in a similar way, learning how to manage train scheduling, monitor track signals, and respond to system alerts in a highly realistic virtual environment. This helps operators develop the ability to make quick, informed decisions, which is crucial in ensuring the smooth and safe operation of railway systems.
Train Drivers
Our virtual training offers a highly detailed simulation of a train's cockpit, controls, and surroundings, allowing drivers to practice operating in various conditions—from normal routes to emergency situations like mechanical failures or adverse weather conditions. This immersive environment helps trainees gain a deeper understanding of train operations and decision-making, improving their responsiveness to real-world situations.
Teams Training & Other Project Scenarios
Moreover, our immersive 3D simulations allow for team-based training, where different personnel can collaborate and respond to scenarios as they would in real life. The ability to simulate complex, coordinated operations and communicate in real-time makes this technology invaluable for improving teamwork and operational efficiency.
Running straight out of the box on platforms such as Misson Room we can also provide specific content and tools for multiple use cases such as:
-
Virtual Site Safety Tours
-
Digital rehearsals for Construction Planning
-
Enhanced Safety Briefings for Major Disruptive Works
In summary, our Truesight™ immersive technology provides an unparalleled training solution for railway personnel, enhancing safety, efficiency, and proficiency across various roles.
