内容説明

Following on from 2005's Rail Human Factors: Supporting the Integrated Railway, this book brings together an even broader range of academics and practitioners from around the world to share their expertise and experience on rail human factors. The content is both comprehensive and cutting-edge, featuring more than 55 chapters addressing the following topics: c Passengers and public c Driver performance and workload c Driving and cognition c Train cab and interfaces: simulation and design c Routes, signage, signals and drivability c Signalling and control of the railway c Planning for the railway c Engineering work and maintenance c Level crossings c Accidents and safety c Human error and human reliability c SPADs: signals passed at danger c Human factors integration and standards c Impairments to performance c Staff competencies and training. People and Rail Systems: Human Factors at the Heart of the Railway will be invaluable for all those concerned with making railways safer, more reliable, of higher quality and more efficient. It will be essential reading for policy-makers, researchers and industry around the world.
