Training Simulator “Train Manager”
We are pleased to announce the development of a new training simulator, “Station and Train Management.” This project is aimed at providing railway industry specialists with practical skills in station management and train operation under conditions as close to real life as possible.
Project Goals and Objectives
The new simulator will enable trainees to master the full range of tasks associated with the operation of a railway station. The key goals of the project include:

Key Features of the Simulator
Special attention is given to developing skills for responding to emergencies. The simulator will reproduce various incidents that may occur at a station.
Training will help trainees build resilience, learn to make quick decisions, and act strictly in accordance with regulations.
Application Possibilities
The “Station and Train Management” simulator
is planned for use in railway company training centers, transport universities, as well as in professional development and retraining programs for current employees. In addition, the system will be fully compatible with other Smart Simulation products. This will make it possible to combine various training complexes — from locomotive driver simulators to maintenance simulators — into a single platform, ensuring comprehensive staff training.
The “Station and Train Management” simulator
At present, Smart Simulation specialists are working on the simulator’s architecture, basic station models, and scenario-building system. In the future, the creation of an extended library of training scenarios and the implementation of additional modules for specialized training are planned.

Development of a new route
Development of the New Derby – Nottingham – Kettering Route Section
The Smart Simulation team is actively working on creating a virtual replica of the Derby – Nottingham – Kettering route section. This new content will become an important addition to the simulator, offering users even more opportunities for training and modeling various scenarios on modern British railways.

Derby – Nottingham – Kettering
As part of the project, 40 new stations, 447 bridges and viaducts, 124 level crossings, and 10 tunnels have already been added with a high degree of detail. This will enable a highly realistic representation of the region’s infrastructure and create a rich, varied training environment.
The development process includes meticulous modeling of stations, characteristic track sections, engineering structures, and surrounding objects, as well as precise recreation of current signaling systems and safety equipment. Special attention is being paid to performance optimization and visual quality so the route will be accessible both on high-end workstations and more widely available hardware configurations.
The release of the new section is planned for 2025. As development milestones are reached, we will be sharing additional news and preview materials. Stay tuned for updates on our website!
