Systems Thinking in <strong>Simulator</strong>-<strong>Based</strong> <strong>Driver</strong> <strong>Training</strong><br />
Normal driving conditions (3/3)<br />
• Emergency brake applied in running<br />
• Ground relay lamp illuminated (correct response to<br />
prevent the automatic lock out <strong>of</strong> the protection<br />
system)<br />
• Stopping distance - varying with the trailing<br />
load/train length/degraded conditions<br />
• Failure <strong>of</strong> speedometer – (provide drivers with an<br />
intuitive sense <strong>of</strong> speed without reference to<br />
instrumentation) (Degraded conditions)<br />
