The Rail4Future project makes a significant contribution to advancing digitization and sustainability in rail transport. The "ICT Digital Jewels" award recognizes this important work, which is being done here by ÖBB and VRVis together with a consortium of research and development partners, on the topic of sustainable digitization. On October 4, Thomas Petraschek, Head of Research and Development at ÖBB, together with Stefan Schmied, Innovation Manager at VRVis, accepted the ICT Austria "ICT Digital Jewels" award for the project. The award was presented by State Secretary for Digitization Florian Tursky in the ceremonial setting of the Jewel in Vienna.
In the Rail4Future project, a consortium of companies and science partners is working on the design of a rail transport system of the future. To this end, a novel and fully virtual validation platform is being developed for large-scale simulations of entire rail lines to increase the efficiency of the existing rail infrastructure.

No blind spots on train roofs thanks to depth cameras.
The research goal of AMASE is to create a suite of tools and methods to ingest, process, visualize, and manipulate heterogeneous, large-scale geospatial data. This data is the constantly updated representation of the real world in the form of an evolving digital twin.
