The whole is greater than its parts: Improving rail safety through teamwork

该项目旨在开发一个包含人为因素的列车驾驶风险模型，使铁路组织能够更好地识别和减轻安全风险。驾驶火车是一项对认知要求很高的任务，其中的错误可能很快导致灾难性的后果。当火车经过红灯时，就会发出危险信号。尽管在更好的信号和通信基础设施方面进行了大量投资，但SPAD费率仍然高得令人无法接受，而且预计还会上升。SPAD风险目前的管理方法是回顾性的，没有考虑非技术人为因素，如时间压力、工作量和团队沟通。通过纳入非技术层面，该项目试图建立一个全面的模型来解释和预防spad。

This project seeks to develop a train driving risk model that includes human factors, to enable rail organisations to better identify and mitigate safety risks. Train driving is a cognitively demanding task in which errors can quickly lead to catastrophic consequences. Signals passed at danger (SPADs) occur when a train goes past a red light. Despite significant investment in better signalling and communications infrastructure, SPAD rates remain unacceptably high and are projected to rise. SPAD risk is currently managed with a retrospective approach that fails to consider non-technical human factors such as time pressure, workload and team communications. By including non-technical dimensions, this project seeks to develop a comprehensive model to explain and prevent SPADs.
