Wegesrand will enlarge the Rail Experience platform to educate prospective train drivers as planned and agreed with the client. The platform was first presented at the logistics fair in Munich in May 2023. The additional budget is used to implement the learning content for the second year of training.The third and final year of training will be implemented based on an additional order and is planned for Q4 of 2023. After that, the full curriculum of the training  program for prospective train drivers is implemented and the product is ready to get licensed by third parties.

By this, the cooperation with Captrain Deutschland GmbH includes the production and marketing of the "RailXP"-platform, organized and managed by Wegesrand. Further information about the product can be found on the products website: www.railxp.de.

About the “Rail Experience” platform:

"Rail Experience" combines different concepts of knowledge transfer and actively supports the students as train drivers in the operational service.  It is a learning platform with a workbook delivered on tablets with game elements to support the training of railway workers in operational service. The teaching content, which is focused on the training curriculum, can be tested directly in realistic situations in a walkable 3D world through realistic game elements. In this way, the content provision merges with a real-time simulation, which is complemented by concrete knowledge acquisition.

The "Rail Experience" has been designed in a generic way and can be transferred to other railway companies. Wegesrand has therefore developed a licensing model that allows the platform to be used on a user-dependent basis. In this way, proprietary versions can easily be mapped also at other railway companies. The interactive workbook can be individually adapted to companies' needs - from content to corporate design.
