Practical System for Implementing Vocational Training Program for Improving Train Driver Skills for Coping with Abnormal Situations

Abstract

Railway companies conduct different kinds of vocational training for train drivers. Simulator training for improving the skills of drivers in coping with abnormal situations is one of them. In such training, it is very important for trainees to be able to objectively reflect back on their actions and psychological state when having to cope with abnormal situations. A support system was therefore developed to facilitate effective retrospective reflection. The efficacy of the system was validated in tests with twenty subjects who all had driving experience.
