Passenger Rail
Designing rail infrastructure for all end-users
We provide human factors support for safety-critical projects across the passenger rail industry, including automatic train control systems, control centre design, alarm management, station and infrastructure design, network expansions, and regulatory compliance.
Our recent projects include:
- Development of Human Factors requirements for a high-capacity signalling project
- Support to major expansion projects as part of Perth's METRONET programme of work
- Early design and Concept of Operations for new transport control centres
- Early analysis of level crossing removals
- Assessing the impact of new lines on train control and security functions
- Ensuring project compliance with Regulatory expectations and industry good practice
- HF input to the development of an electronic permit system
- New station designs
- Alarm rationalisation
As train systems increase in complexity and rail networks expand to accommodate increase rail traffic, applying human factors principles becomes increasing important to ensure operations remain safe, efficient, and reliable.
