How a voxel engine will drive multi-modal travel in the UK

Stations and transportation hubs shall be digitised in 3D with 10 cm spatial resolution using Lidar and depth cameras, across England from 2023. Creating the digital twins of station areas with the Help of the Polaron World Engine. The goal is to improve situational awareness and thereby elevate the multimodal travel experience for passengers. Harmonizing long-distance train and air travel, focusing on current and future micro mobility options. Travelling at a low cost with excellent customisation. The Polaron engine connects through 5G to passenger phones for centimetre-accurate interior guidance:

  • Always take the correct exit;
  • As the train approaches the station, stand near the door;
  • Routes tailored to one's needs, whether it luggage or impairment;
  • Increase activity and reduce CO2;
  • Plan a coffee takeaway route and timing.

5G enables low-latency 3D walkthroughs and AR guided visualisations overlay on smartphone camera photos. Large bandwidth to allow smartphone cameras to accurately relay back station views. So the data will show blocked entrances or malfunctioning escalators. For precise and hassle-free routes for the next hours and day.
