A study on NTS training and assessment simulation for the human performance of railway resources

초록

In this paper, a study on simulation training and assessment of Non-Technical Skills (NTS) for the safety performance of the railway crews will be presented. Individual tasks and cooperative tasks among the train driver, crew, traffic controller and local (station) signaler shall be considered in developing the NTS assessment program which is composed of several simulation modules and scenarios for various accidents and hazardous events in normal, abnormal and emergency conditions. The human NTS assessment can also contribute to continuous development of safety performance as well as competence verification for the railway employee.
