As part of this initiative, the company is implementing more than ten projects that <strong>combine technologies<\/strong> such as virtual reality and digital twins to strengthen its competitive advantage while fulfilling the <strong>goals of its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/en\/plan-horizon-24\/\">Horizon 24 plan<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 to become a more agile, efficient and innovative company.<\/p>\n<p>Infraverse also represents further progress in its commitment to the digitalization and virtualization of its infrastructures and fulfills the dual objectives of<strong> improving the user experience<\/strong> and accelerating efficiencies in the full asset cycle. In order to successfully scale this initiative, and in line with its open <strong>innovation strategy<\/strong>, Ferrovial is building an innovative ecosystem in partnership with leading companies in the technology and video game sector, such as Microsoft and Unity, which are advanced users of the metaverse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the first time, we are combining advanced visualization technologies and virtual gaming environments with the operation of real transportation and energy infrastructures. <strong>Immersive environments<\/strong> that combine the real world and virtual reality enable interaction between the two and have direct applications in the company&#8217;s everyday activities. This interaction affords Ferrovial a <strong>strong degree of flexibility<\/strong> in design as well as efficiency in asset management and operation, and it also improves safety for workers and users,\u201d said Rafael Fern\u00e1ndez, Innovation Director at Ferrovial.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn combination with other advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and 5G connectivity, we are driving a new generation of sustainable transport infrastructures to offer<strong> our clients efficient solutions<\/strong> as well as achieving advanced operation throughout the asset life cycle,\u201d concluded Fern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Immersive infrastructures<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The metaverse has numerous applications in Ferrovial&#8217;s business, providing operational improvements in areas such as design and on-site decision making. This translates<strong> into potential cost efficiencies<\/strong>. It also offers opportunities to enhance user services and experience, and the health and safety of employees and asset users.<\/p>\n<p>The use of <strong>digital twins<\/strong>, i.e., digital representations of physical assets and processes, with other immersive technologies enables the company to create simulations using real data to improve operations throughout the asset life cycle.<\/p>\n<p>Ferrovial is also creating immersive <strong>collaborative environments<\/strong> <strong>within this framework<\/strong>. Using a combination of virtual reality, 3D models and artificial intelligence, the company has established a network of laboratories in cities such as Madrid, London and Austin. These collaborative environments make up the <strong>Infraverse Lab Network<\/strong>. Devices such as touch screens and HoloLens make it possible for people in different locations to collaborate on projects simultaneously in real time, and to make remote site visits.<\/p>\n<p>This area also offers many opportunities in the field of health and safety. Using virtual reality goggles, Ferrovial can provide virtual training for dangerous situations in a way that is practically identical to reality. The <strong>VR Training Awareness<\/strong> initiative offers training courses that apply virtual reality across all types of risk environments. Virtual reality enables <strong>trainees to experience real risk situations<\/strong> and acquire the necessary knowledge to stay safe.<\/p>\n<p>Simulation is the basis for multiple use cases, and it forms the basis for the use in <strong>Infraverse of applied behavioral science.<\/strong> Analysis of user behavior coupled with this technology enables Ferrovial to assess whether <strong>d<\/strong>ecisions made during the<strong> design phase have a positive<\/strong> impact on infrastructure operation and safety, enabling early modifications to be made to asset designs that would otherwise be impossible or extremely costly.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Metaverse<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The metaverse is a digital environment that functions as a<strong> reflection of the real world<\/strong>, in which human beings interact both socially and economically through avatars. It promises to definitively eliminate the increasingly blurred line between <strong>the real and virtual worlds.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is a range of definitions of the metaverse and related applications, and investment in the field is expected to expand in the coming years, enabling the construction of 3D virtual spaces in <strong>which immersive experiences<\/strong> can be shared with other people, performing everyday activities such as working, playing, meeting with friends, and attending concerts and sporting events. In short, it&#8217;s a <strong>new world in which to live.<\/strong><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n
