Engineering and training
The purpose of rail transit design is a fully integrated system that meets the operator’s long-term needs while delivering maximum return on investment. Each component must be carefully designed, and all subsystems must work together smoothly.
Engineering services
HI-SIM applies state-of-the-art tools and extensive rail transit experience to the design of practical solutions that conform to requirements and standards. We help our clients manage risks, control costs and deliver safe, reliable and efficient rail systems to their passengers.
Our services include system planning, preliminary and detailed design, specification development, procurement strategy, bid evaluation and design review. Where a project needs it, we work together with external experts.
- Support for E&M systems in feasibility studies
- Support for technical specifications and tender documents
- Research projects that investigate and report on new technologies
- Testing the adequacy of the traction (electrification) system and proposing alternatives
- General design of the traction system
- Evaluation of the effects of system improvements
- Train operation optimization
- Energy efficiency methods, and their application to manual and signalled systems
- Signalling solutions and training
Excellence in rail systems engineering
The combination of field experience and academic background is a valuable resource for our clients. HI-SIM’s founding partners and team have taken part in the planning, design and development of many rail transit systems.
Signalling, SCADA, automation
The HI-SIM team includes people who have directed the National Railway Signalling Project and personally developed systems such as interlocking, the core of signalling. On this basis we design, develop, review and consult on signalling systems.
HI-SIM also has a team of SCADA and automation experts and, supported by lecturers of the ITU Control and Automation Engineering Department, provides system design and consultancy.
Training
With our academic staff and engineers who have worked on many projects, we train local and foreign experts in traction power and signalling. Training packages are shaped around the client’s needs; the main topics are:
01
Basics of rail system signalling
02
Practical rail system signalling
03
Rail system operation simulation
04
Rail system traction power simulation
Knowledge sharing
HI-SIM is the author of many articles and papers on problems met in real projects and the solutions applied, and shares this knowledge in presentations to raise awareness in the industry. The full list is on the Publications page.

FAQ
Which training courses do you offer?
Basics of rail signalling, practical rail signalling, rail operation simulation and traction power simulation. The content is shaped to the client’s request.
Which rail systems do you have experience with?
Trolleybus, tramway, light rail, metro systems and mainline railways.
Do you consult on signalling?
Yes. Our team includes people who directed the National Railway Signalling Project and developed interlocking systems; we design, develop and review signalling systems.
Do you need simulations for your project?
Write to us about your traction power, headway, train movement or energy efficiency studies, and we will scope your project needs together.
