en.Wedoany.com Reported - SIM Factor S.A. has signed two contracts with the Hellenic Railways Organisation to deliver 14 railway simulators, including six train driving simulators, one instructor station, and eight traffic control operator systems. These simulators are scheduled for delivery by the end of 2026. The contract value has not been disclosed. This marks the first procurement of railway simulators in Greek railway history.

The simulation systems will model over 500 kilometers of major Greek railway lines, enabling train drivers and traffic control personnel to undergo training in normal operations and emergency scenarios. The dedicated instructor station provides centralized management and supervision for all six driver simulators. The software platform developed by SIM Factor integrates interactive degraded modes and emergency scenarios, which can be used for certification, periodic skill assessments, and fostering a unified operational culture among employees. The simulator package will also support the newly planned Greek Railway Academy, aligning workforce capabilities with the ongoing implementation of modern signaling, remote control, and the European Train Control System (ETCS). SIM Factor's entry into the Greek market marks its 11th foreign market expansion. SIM Factor has stated that its continuously updated software, which incorporates experience from 10 existing European markets, was a factor in its selection.

Note: As of the time of publication, neither the Hellenic Railways Organisation nor SIM Factor has publicly disclosed the contract value or the unit cost of the simulators. Specific details of the list of over 500 kilometers of routes cannot be independently verified.
