"Currently, the rail lacks a standardized method of the human elements review of latest applied sciences in operational settings. whereas a few human elements assessment tools exist (such as job research, scenario information measures, quasi-experiments), those are infrequently adapted to the industry's wishes. This publication fills that hole via constructing a toolkit of tools that may be utilized by humans within the rail Read more...

Operator training in a new technology should aim to be comprehensive, allow exploration of the system by the user and encompass sessions where the focus is on rectifying potential gaps in the drivers舗 mental models of the system. Training and skills transfer are discussed further in chapter 8. One useful technique for identifying and rectifying gaps in mental models is the process of self-explanation (Chi, 2000). Self-explanation (or explaining information to oneself) has been found to lead to improved recall and use of information compared to other cognitive processes (such as summarisation) (Bearman, Ormerod, Ball and Deptula, 2011; Chi, DeLeeuw, Chiu and LaVancher, 1994; Neuman and Schwarz, 1998).

Does frequent exposure to danger in a simulator lead to complacency and/or a false sense of security? Does route knowledge developed in a simulated environment translate to the real world? How does the lack of consequence in simulated environments influence risk-taking in the real world? Chapters 8 and 9 deal with these issues in detail. While a technology may be conceived in isolation, the introduction of a technology into a train cab or railway control room occurs in a broader social, psychological and industrial/political context.
