The St. Pölten freight train bypass is a new route from ÖBB Infrastruktur AG and serves to improve the capacity on the Vienna-Linz railway line. ÖBB has set up an information kiosk called "Infobox" in which interested persons can get information about the railroad project. In this Infobox, visitors should also be given the opportunity to interactively explore the new route. To this end, we have created a detailed 3D model of the to be constructed track and embedded it in a realistic model of the affected landscape. For the visualisation, we have set up an interactive installation based on CityGRID^® Scout. As soon as a person enters the Infobox, this installation starts automatically and invites you to the interactive flight over the planned route. In this way, you can playfully experience how the new railroad track will fit into the real environment.
