>> VSTEP’s RESCUESIM is in use by the Dutch Railways (NS) to train its personnel in tunnel evacuation procedures and railway incident management. The NS’s goal is to train all of its 6,000 train drivers and conductors during a one-year period. To guarantee realistic training, a virtual tunnel environment and different tunnel incident scenarios were created in the RescueSim simulator. RescueSim is single- and multi-agency training software that prepares public safety and security professionals for real-life incidents in a virtual environment. RescueSim allows emergency crews to experience the incident as they would in real-life. They assess the situation and determine the best response strategy, implement it and then observe the consequences of their decisions. www.rescuesim.com.
