Key Rail Experience
• Ergonomics assessment of signallers’ workstation (For Westinghouse Rail Systems Ltd.).
• Support to the development of an integrated human factors management system for MTR. (For MTR, Hong Kong).
• Assessment of platform monitor visibility from the train cab. (For Bombardier Transportation UK Ltd.).
• Age-related human factors issues for train operation and SPAD mitigation. (For RSSB).
• LED signals – Initial human factors considerations for UK railway applications. (For Network Rail).
• Assessment of the impact of binocularity and ocular dominance on train cab design. (For Bombardier Transportation UK Ltd.).
• Human Factors support to the railway signal design and evaluation for Railtrack (Network Rail) Great Western Zone, regarding Paddington re-signalling. This work involves research and recommendations regarding signal conspicuity, and the use of fibre optic signal heads within the signal gantries. These offer the potential to have much lower signals than currently possible.
• Human factors analysis of lineside objects and their conspicuity at varying speeds. This work adds to the overall understanding of driver tasks and their impact in the prevention of SPADs. (For RSSB).
• Driver recognition of lineside signals and signs during a high-speed train operation. (For Network Rail).
• Development of railway signal sighting principles. (For RSSB).
• Analysis of the May/Summer peak in SPAD occurrences from 1985 to 2002, related ‘risk factors’ and mitigation measures. (For RSSB).
• Prioritisation of SPAD risk factors and human factors support to SPAD management in the Southern and Scotland Zones. (For RSSB).
• Study to analyse and catalogue the existing scientific evidence in relation to common factors for SPAD and mitigation measures, and to develop a database that can be used to guide the development of both management strategies and research plans. (For RSSB).
