Track design is at the heart of any rail network, taking into account the unique features of geography throughout the rail network. From track designs, you can then design traction power and signaling against your track to deliver an efficient, safe rail layout for your passenger and freight traffic. The resulting rail network design integrates earthworks, drainage, ballast, signaling, electrical control, and power systems together with physical track positions within the permanent way.
A safe, reliable rail network design requires the integration of track, traction power and signaling designs. By combining geospatial and topographical data with rail network designs, you can develop detailed, integrated 3D designs of your rail network infrastructure. Our multi-discipline rail network solution supports track design for light rail, metros, heavy rail, high-speed rail, and MAG-LEV projects, and includes comprehensive capabilities supporting regression analysis, horizontal, vertical alignment, and cant design.
Our solution also provides comprehensive design and modeling of all electrical control cubicles, switchgear, and related control systems in a single, integrated environment. You can optimize signal positioning using advanced augmented and virtual reality capabilities that enable you to assess signal schemes for correct line-of-sight. You can also design traction power supply systems, overhead lines and equipment, associated catenary, and support structures.
