Rail Safety
Sharpen your employees‘ awareness through interactive hazard detection. Train operational workflows with safety-critical assessments in realistic scenarios, such as mast pre-assembly
Fatal track accidents
There is an alarming increase in deadly accidents in the railway sector. One solution: better preparation by training.
Costs per accident
A single accident on the tracks can cost companies between €40,000 and €80,000.
Better training leads to fewer accidents and this is why TOUGH will work for you.
We create realistic environments featuring genuine hazards – from electrification and passing trains to heavy machinery. By placing your employees on a digital job site, we prepare them for daily tasks and the specific dangers associated with them.
TOUGH bridges the gap between occupational safety and technical operations. We focus specifically on trackside behavior – whether operating road-rail excavators or working on sites equipped with ATWS (Automatic Track Warning Systems). This ensures safety knowledge is directly linked to hands-on practice.
Beyond realistic scenarios, your employees can verify their progress through knowledge checks, interactive WBTs (Web-Based Training), quizzes, matching exercises, and more. This ensures that what they learn sticks for the long term.
„The use of VR enables us to realistically depict the dangers of working in and on the track and thus make them tangible.“
„With TOUGH, we support the safety of our employees on the track. The combination of track construction and VR inspires our junior staff and offers an innovative solution to the shortage of skilled workers in rail transport.“
Nicole Lieb
Head of Technical Qualification Maintenance

„The fact that we can now train this work with TOUGH in a virtual environment and yet in a practical way is a major step forward and benefits both young and experienced colleagues.“
