UC Values to Rail• UC creates accurate 3D rail concepts from minimal

data to support funding, progress, design development, quality, buy-in

• UC creates compelling visualisations of proposals – “to be funded” (GCRT, MLB Metro, CRR) – “actually funded” (RRL, Seaford Rail, GTO)

• UC reduces resistance to rail upgrades (eg Melton, GTO)

• UC technology and processes supports quality stations, integrated environments, safe conditions and quality outcomes

• UC processes support cross-agency and multi-disciplinary cooperation

• UC tech allows efficient human experience of rail environs

• UC tech growing in station simulation for place making
