Siemens Mobility and Sogeclair Simulation Partner on Training Tool

French simulation development company Sogeclair Simulation will provide its OkSyGen software platform, which will be integrated into Siemens Mobility’s train control desk simulator to ensure a “seamless and realistic training environment that accurately replicates real-world driving.”

Frank Hoffmann, Head of Engineering at Siemens Mobility, stated, “The new Digital Twin-based driving simulator, utilizing our engineering validation tool, is set to revolutionize the simulator experience for our customers. With this innovative technology, we aim to provide the most realistic simulator yet. Not only will customers benefit from reduced simulator life cycle costs, but they can also expect faster availability, even before initial train delivery.”

Sogeclair’s statement explained that “by merging these advanced technologies, the partnership aims to enhance fidelity in operator training, ensuring trainees experience the highest level of accuracy and realism, essential for optimal performance.”

Jean-Baptiste Prost, VP of rail simulation at Sogeclair Simulation, added, “This innovative partnership, resulting from a challenging R&D hackathon process, aims to deliver high accuracy and fidelity in train simulation for the most effective training. This corresponds to our identity of delivering simulators that provide the highest ROI to our customers. We are delighted to have Siemens Mobility as a strong partner in driving new technology and innovation.”

The new training tool will be showcased at Innotrans in Berlin.
