Rail operations in Australia are on the cusp of rapid technological change. Innovative technologies such as computer-based train control and automated network traffic management have the potential to improve operational efficiency and safety. However, these benefits cannot be realised without the application of a systematic Human Factors approach to ensure that interactions between human users and autonomous systems are based on a thorough understanding of human capabilities and limitations. Public Transport Victoria's Human Factors Team and the Transport Special Interest Group at the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of Australia invite you to a morning of talks on the application of human factors methods and research to inform the integration of users and automated systems. At this event you will hear from rail industry professionals and leading researchers from across Australia who are tackling human factors issues associated with the integration of innovative technologies into modern transport systems. This session has a special focus on HF issues associated with the introduction of automation in passenger and freight rail operations. Who should attend? This event will be of value to anyone involved in the analysis, design, delivery or operation of public transport systems and infrastructure.   Brochure
