Description
Derby railway station, also known as Derby Midland, is a main line railway station serving the city of Derby in Derbyshire England. Owned by Network Rail and managed by East Midlands Railway, the station is also used by CrossCountry services and two daily Northern services.
This detailed, geo specific and accurate, 3D terrain model, covers an area in length of over 25km, including the main Derby station, Chaddesden Depot, Etches Park depot, Sinfin branch line and Peartree station.
45 different training routes (Moves) were accurately created in detail, with detailed signage, selectable signalling and points.
This Real-time scenario was modelled for use in rail driver training related to a resignalling project. Its primary purpose was for drivers to view and understand new and remodelled rail lines and upgrades, helping them to fully learn new routes, prior to driving them for real. This project could also be used for signal sighting development and planning reviews.
The project was undertaken in conjunction with Track Access Services Ltd and converted to also run on Unity systems with Pennant Simulation for VR demonstration purposes and Bentley systems software.
