Table of ContentsReviews’This is not a beginner’s guide to Human Factors but then the rail industry is no longer a beginner. It is a technical book, rich in detail and insight, but also one that has itself been designed for Human Use. It is easy to read, being in equal part a railway book as much as it is a human factors one.’ Rail Professional, December 2013 'This is not a beginner's guide to Human Factors but then the rail industry is no longer a beginner.

It is easy to read, being in equal part a railway book as much as it is a human factors one.' Rail Professional, December 2013 Author InformationDr Chris Bearman is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of South Australia and a Senior Research Associate at NASA Ames Research Center, USA. His work involves conducting industry-focused research in laboratory and field settings with the aim of creating results that have both a strong theoretical underpinning and a robust application to industry. Currently he is working on the FAA/NASA Next Generation Project which seeks to redesign the American Airspace System, as well as a number of Rail projects in Australia that examine issues concerned with the human factors implementation of new technologies. Dr Anjum Naweed is a Senior Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Appleton Institute of Central Queensland University, Australia. He currently leads six research projects with the Australian Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Rail Innovation. His work is investigating the area of safety and security on topics involving train driver psychology, complex decision-making, knowledge representation, level crossing design, work health and safety, and participative processes at work. He was recently awarded the Body of Knowledge prize at the Asia-Pacific Simulation Training and Technology conference for best contribution to standards development, capture of best practice or contribution to the simulation community. Dr Jillian Dorrian is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of South Australia. She specializes in the area of human sleep, biological rhythms and performance. She has worked extensively with the Rail industry investigating sleep loss, workload, operational performance, safety and health. Her work has focused on understanding the issues related to safety and performance in train driving, particularly fatigue and self-awareness. She currently collaborates with the Australian CRC for Rail Innovation on a number of simulator research projects looking at knowledge representation, workplace culture and generating evidence-based guidelines for single and dual-driver operations. Janette Rose is a PhD student at the University of South Australia, conducting research into the human factors implications of introducing new technology into the train cab. Her particular research interests are in the development of improved tools to measure subjective situation awareness and user resistance to technology. Professor Drew Dawson is the Director of Central Queensland University's Appleton Institute and the university's inaugural Engaged Research Chair. He is an established international researcher and has published both nationally and internationally. He has been instrumental in championing and establishing significant research collaborations between industry, regulatory and university sectors for projects relating to safety management and workload in rail and aviation sectors in Australia, North America and Europe.
