In this paper, we define hazard perception as “the ability to recognize potential hazards before undesirable situations, such as accidents, occur” [1]. With the hypothesis that workers’ hazard perception could be enhanced by considering risk information, such as accident reports and near-miss incidents, in a personalized manner, we first examined how this personalization of risk information is carried out, whether individual differences play a role in this tendency, and whether there is a relationship between personalized risk information and hazard perception. We conducted two experiments. The first indicated that the tendency to personalize risk information is influenced by individual differences, while the second suggested that this tendency may be related to hazard perception.

It is necessary to reduce the cost of train operations in order to maintain the railway network including local lines. One solution to overcome this problem is to introduce ATO (Automatic Train Operation). ATO systems which are equipment for automated driving control under protection of ATC is introduced in specific types of line, such as AGT (Automated Guideway Transit) systems in Japan. There is a growing need for new type of ATO system which is operated by a staff who is not required driver’s license in order to reduce operating costs. JR-Kyusyu has developed an ATO system based on ATS-DK. This paper describes the results of the study about the responsibilities of ATO attendants of the ATS-DK-based GOA2.5 system, their qualification requirements, and their training.
