A ‘digital twin’ is a virtual, data-driven representation of the many characteristics and behaviours of any real-world physical asset, process or system. In the railway sector, ‘digital twins’ could be used across several different engineering, planning, and operational aspects, such as monitoring physical assets (rolling stock and infrastructure), monitoring train movements and providing information about passenger behaviour on-board trains, in stations or on platforms.
As the digital transformation of the rail industry continues, Global Railway Review has produced this eBook to showcase a variety of innovative projects and developments that are embracing digital solutions.

Digital twins are redefining how rail and transit infrastructure is designed, built, and operated. Watch this webinar, in association with Bentley Systems, to learn how leveraging digital twins today, can help you work smarter and deliver better networks for tomorrow.
Network Rail are developing a digital twin of Reading station to improve its carbon emissions and energy performance by around 20 per cent.
HS2 stations will be developed using AI to create a stress-free passenger experience of the future as part of a collaborative project led by OpenSpace Group.
In this In-Depth Focus, the authors cover the role of digitalisation and innovation in the Rail Baltica project; the impact of Industry 4.0 on Norway’s digital railway developments; and how ProRail is applying data science to predict track degradation in the Netherlands.
Packed full of exclusive content, including: digital twin developments on HS1; enhancing rail freight activity in Spain; rail's role in zero-emission mobility in Europe; Bogies & Wheelsets and IOT & Advanced Analytics In-Depth Focuses; and much more!
Richard Thorp, Engineering Director, HS1 Ltd, shares his insight into the benefits of digital twin technology and the forward-looking innovation this digital tool is bringing to the rail system.
HS1 have completed the first 5G-enabled augmented reality digital twin trial on UK railways, showing how the technology can reduce emissions and cut delays.
Mark Fielding-Smith, Client Director, Digital Rail at Atkins, explains how they have supported Network Rail’s National Aerial Survey and how this helps the infrastructure manager utilise data and take digital twin benefits to new heights.
In this interview for Global Railway Review, Gunnar Smith, VP of Sales at Prover, talks about the typical challenges faced in the procurement and development of rail control projects and how these can be mastered with a modern approach based on Signalling Design Automation (SDA) and the use of digital…
Bernd Drapp, Director of Innovation at AP Sensing, explains the concept of a digital railway twin and what it can mean for the efficiency and capacity of sustainable, everyday travel.
Robbie Pretorius, Transport Head of Services – Australia at SNC-Lavalin, explains how the effective use of Information Management is improving the outcome of Australia’s Inland Rail project by ensuring all stakeholders get the assets and information they need, when they need it.
Scott Kelley, Managing Director, Signalling and Global Rail Market Lead at Atkins, explains how harnessing digital innovations in aspects such as ticketing, digital twins and digital signalling could enable the data-rich, technologically driven rail industry of the future that surpasses all expectations.
