Introduction

SIM Factor will present its new 3D visualization software at the 16th TRAKO International Railway Fair in Gdańsk, Poland, from September 23–26, 2025. The software is designed for high-speed train driver training and features enhanced graphics and faster simulation capabilities.

Software Capabilities and Performance

The updated software is designed to simulate speeds exceeding 250 km/h, with ongoing development to support operations at 300–400 km/h. The software currently simulates over 10,000 km of routes, including 8,000 km in Poland.

Graphics and Technology

The software has been rebuilt using the Unity engine and High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) technology. HDRP is used to improve lighting, shadows, and reflections, enhancing the realism of the simulation environment.

Implementation and Features

The new graphics will be integrated across all SIM Factor products, including full-cab motion platforms and the SMART Lite desktop simulator. Visitors can test two SMART Lite simulators at TRAKO in Hall F, booth 60.

Company Perspective

Michał Wierzbicki, CEO of SIM Factor S.A., stated that the company is technologically prepared to deliver simulators for high-speed rail and begin driver training before the introduction of high-speed trains in Poland. Klaudia Narożnik, Head of Graphics & Enviro Department at SIM Factor, noted that the enhanced graphics create a more immersive training environment.
