Ethio-Djibouti Railway

RailVision Digital Twin

A railway 752 kilometres long, across two countries, can't be seen from any one window. RailVision is its digital twin: the whole line, its stations and every train in one live 3D view, rendered in Unreal Engine. Pick a train and follow it from the cab, the trackside or the air, with its speed, position, next station and the gradient ahead, so the line reads as one system. Most of the platform is under NDA; shown here are its front door and its 3D view, on a simulated feed.

Closing thoughts

A line this long is usually known in pieces; I wanted the people running it to see all of it move at once. What I took from it: a twin is worth what it saves people from guessing.
