Analysing and modelling train driver performance

Analysing and modelling train driver performance.

Arguments for the importance of contextual factors in understanding human performance have been made extremely persuasively in the context of the process control industries. This paper puts these arguments into the context of the train driving task, drawing on an extensive analysis of driver performance with the Automatic Warning System (AWS). The paper summarises a number of constructs from ap...

Gradient modelling with calibrated train performance models

This study considers the theoretical analysis, modelling technique and experimental verification of the effects of gradient, running and curve resistance on train performance. The developed process uses computer simulations via Dynamis software in conjunction with an empirical approach for energy and resistance analyses, verification, dynamic train modelling and tests. The overall objective was...

Future Human Performance Model for Malaysian Train Driver

Safety is important as technology advancement increasing daily. Accidents in transportation industry happen every day and given bad impact to the industry. Public transports become an alternative to the urban people, as the traffic congestion getting worse today which will results on increasing number of locomotives, as to fulfill the service demands, at the same time will increase number of tr...

Aspects of Train Driver Scheduling Problems

Solving the Train Driver Recovery Problem

Changes in the train schedule affect the train driver duties. If a train is cancelled or delayed, the driver assigned to the train task might not be able to reach the station of his next train departure in time. In practice, if a driver is not available for the train departure, another driver, for instance, a reserve, is assigned to the task. If there are no drivers available to cover the task ...
