A user-centered, agile approach was used to develop a high-standard train simulator for applications in train driver education. A user group of train operators and train driver educators was formed to share experience and cut development cost. Joint prioritisation by the user group was used in combination with agile development to iteratively develop new variants of the train simulator, with features tailored to the user group’s needs. The user group has grown from 2 organisations in 2015 to 10 organisations in 2019, each of which now use the train simulator in education and training. They find that this has been beneficial in terms of quality, cost or time. Regarding research, this scheme has resulted in three PhD projects and several other projects on driver behaviour, railway signalling systems and capacity.
