Network Geography

Network Geography is defined using a Visual Geography Editor.

Locations can be created to define control points along the network e.g. Platforms, Junctions, or Stopping Points. Each Location can be grouped into various hierarchical structures for ease of use in other functions e.g. time zones, network control centres, train control boards, reporting territories, and Yard complexes.
Time zones allow for different time offsets to be applied to Locations and in turn train schedules where a train traverses Time zone boundaries and/or daylights saving times come into operation.

Tracks are drawn from Location to Location to represent the rail network. Tools are provided to be able to draw tracks using a variety of lines and curves.

ViziRail utilises versioning of Geography over time to allow for planned changes in the Railway Network coming online.

ViziRail provides the ability to create Geography Scenarios that allow ‘what if’ scenarios to be modelled. This can include changes from major works such as track duplication, new sidings through to minor changes to Section Run Times. This allows the Geography to be validated and approved prior to being made available for general use throughout ViziRail
