In this paper, we describe the optimised digital platform used for Testing and Commissioning (T&C) activities, which overcomes some common challenges arising from communication-oriented freight and passenger rail projects. This optimised digital platform provides a flexible approach by allowing its customisation into a project-specific product in a short time. It has proved to be extremely helpful in terms of planning, execution, reporting and training for Hitachi Rail’s T&C team. By freely sharing customisation processes, case studies and lessons learnt about this digital platform on Australian projects, this paper provides a valuable underpinning for similar applications in the very near future in Australia.
