Train Control Train Control Signalling Signalling Rolling Stock Rolling Stock Infrastructure Operations Systems Thinking in Simulator-Based Driver Training Hypothesis • Driver training and assessment process is insufficient Improvement areas • Why is this? • Not opportune (e.g. fog); • Not practical (e.g. 4 training trains on line); • Not safe (e.g. purposely derail); • Not cost effective (e.g. emergency brake application) To use the real world training environment • Complimentary not alternative Infrastructure Operations Department of Civil Engineering, University of Birmingham Slide No: 23 Systems Thinking in Simulator-Based Driver Training What is a simulator (1/2)? • A simulator is a model of real activity created for training purposes or to solve a problem RSSB • A situation or environment which is reproduced but not necessarily by a machine HSE • Parameters are changeable • It is not reality • The development of simulators Department of Civil Engineering, University of Birmingham Slide No: 24 12
