The rail human factors/ergonomics community has grown quickly and
extensively, and there is much increased recognition of the vital
importance of ergonomics/human factors by rail infrastructure
owners, rail operating companies, system developers, regulators and
national and trans-national government. This book, the third on
rail human factors, is drawn from papers presented at the Lille 3rd
International Conference on Rail Human Factors. The contributions
cover the range of human and organisational issues on the railway,
from driving to signalling and control to maintenance and
engineering work, to passengers and security issues such as
trespass, and address improvements in safety, reliability, use of
capacity, efficiency and quality. The book represents the best of
recent work in rail human factors, and starts to define the
framework for the next few years. As well as the human factors
areas listed above, the conference and thus the book are notable
for sessions on simulation in rail human factors and on human
factors in metro design and operation. The book also reflects the
increased attention being paid to, and developments in,
understanding all aspects of rail stakeholders behaviour, and also
the contribution of ergonomics/human factors to innovative network
control systems which will enhance reliability, safety and use of
capacity. The book will be of interest to a number of groups: those
working in the rail sector from a human factors point of view; the
larger rail industry and related bodies generally; and in terms of
transferrable knowledge to ergonomists and human factors
specialists working in other industries.
