Rail Human Factors-Human-centred design for railway systems

摘要

In our Rail Human Factors approach, we define the human as the starting point for our interdisciplinary research on the design of human-machine interfaces in railway systems. Our research is based on three key issues: understanding the user (operator), evaluating existing systems, and developing and testing new concepts. Furthermore, we develop new methods for evaluation and design of railway systems. In the present paper we explain our approach and give examples for its application.
