Agenda:
This workshop provides a hands-on, project-based introduction to railway engineering & simulation including three phases of a railway system:
1. Track Design (Bentley OpenRailConceptStation): Create a real-world rail network on top of aerial imagery and elevation GIS maps including track geometry (horizontal, vertical, superelevation) and track layout (turnout, yard, bridge, and crossover).
2. 3D Visualization & Virtual Reality (Unity Game Engine): Developing 3D environments including train stations, surrounding buildings, trees and develop VR 360 degree <a href="http://video.
