Online Workshop
In a time, where digitalization and automatization are on everyone’s mind, we must not forget about the human and how to keep him/her in the loop. Requirements and tasks are changing and impose new challenges on the work force. Rail human factors deals with the question of how to incorporate the human in today’s railway system as well as the system of the future.
The fourth German workshop on Rail Human Factors will offer an opportunity to meet with national and international experts in the fields of railway research and rail human factors. It will consist of presentations and lots of time for discussions.
Topics of interest
Focus of the workshop is human-related research aiming for a user-friendly, safe and efficient rail transport of tomorrow.
The workshop topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Ergonomics and Usability of advisory and assistance systems
- Automation, Train control systems
- Fatigue, monotony, mental workload
- Risk, Human error and Human reliability
- Situation awareness
- Incident investigation
- Safety culture
- Human Factors Integration
- Rules and Standards
