A Human Factor and Rail Transport Safety - a Comparative Criterion of Selected Assessment Methods
Journal Title: Archives of Transport System Telematics - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Modern safety management in rail transport determines new and interesting directions for its scientific exploration. As a railway system is dynamic, relationships between its individual components become particularly important. A component approach, however, has a complex dimension, due to the different categories of components that constitute this system. The interrelations between an operator, an object and a work environment determine the safety of this system. The operator understood as a Human Factor becomes increasingly important, even strategic in this relationship. The purpose of the paper is to present crucial human factor assessment and management methods and determine their comparative criteria. The paper also presents the selected possibilities of applying the given methods to specific technical, operational and organizational solutions within the framework of the functioning safety management system in rail transport. The paper describes an attempt to conceptualize and operationalize human factor management in rail transport in relation to selected methods presented.
