3D Visual Simulation
This module is responsible for the visual simulation
of the line environment and special effects in the given
exercise. It’s made up of a scenegraph software and
various modules to simulate a visual world. Some of
the features of VisSim are:
- It has special effects module to visualize fire,
smoke, debris and various other fx.
- Sun, moon and stars are simulated visually according
to date, time of day and the geographical coordinates.
- VisSim has the ability to simulate weather conditions
like rain, snow, wind, lightning, etc.
- Fog, horizon, and clouds can be simulated in
different levels.
- VisSim screens objects in their right size according
to distance from an observer. Different levels of
detail is applied to polygons of objects.
- Scenegraph of VisSim runs on OpenGL.
- VisSim has the distributing rendering feature
that supports running visual simulation on different
screens of computers.

3D Line/Station Models
3D Line/Station Models database includes 3D Models of
line, station, and environment which are used by VisSim.
The model groups are as follows:
- Train models
- Railway models Tunnel and bridge models Sign
and signal models
- Station models Cultural models

IOS
IOS module is the GUI
for the instructor to prepare and control an exercise.
Following are the fundemantal properties of IOS:
- Entering the trainee and the instructor identity
- Loading an existing exercise
- Preparation of a new exercise
- Selecting the track
- Setting the signalization for the track
- Configurating the Siemens B80D train
- Setting the initial conditions of the simulation
(date, time of day, weather conditions, etc.)
- Adding faults and incidents to the exercise
- Adding other trains and related incidents
to the exercise
- Simulation time control (Run/Freeze/Stop) of
the exercise
- Recording the exercise
- Viewing cab controls (Figure 3)
- Viewing line in 3D
- Viewing line traffic in 2D
- Adding bookmark to time to be used while replaying
exercise
- Adding chronometer to calculate time of any
event
- Changing the parameters of line traffic on run
time

Performance Evaluator
Performance Evaluator
has ability to output following diagrams (Figure 6)
and statistics of exercises:
- Speed/Distance Diagram
- Distance/Time Diagram
- Power/Distance Diagram
- Energy/Distance Diagram
- Occupation statistics (peak hour occupation
percentage)
- Delay statistics (total delays per station)
