Rail operators are increasingly adopting virtual twin technology to improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability across infrastructure and operations. Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform enables the creation of virtual models of rail systems, allowing stakeholders to collaborate, simulate, and test scenarios before implementation. This helps avoid costly physical trials and mitigates risks in complex projects such as tunnels or track upgrades.
According to Dassault Systèmes’ Phil Barrett and Tony Rakuljic, virtual twins can be applied to various elements—from infrastructure to crew scheduling—unlocking and integrating existing data across departments. The platform helps model supply chain disruptions, track conditions, or derailment risks, enhancing decision-making and operational resilience.
In addition to supporting regulatory compliance and real-time oversight, the platform assists in evaluating decarbonization strategies like transitioning to hybrid or battery-powered trains. As operators seek fully integrated systems, virtual twins are becoming critical tools for modern rail management.
