These days, automated rail traffic control systems help to lessen the need for human intervention in train traffic management. On the other hand, the various algorithms used by interlocking systems to coordinate the movement of trains belonging to distinct categories result in longer wait times for technological procedures at the station. The possibility of timely routes for trains of multiple categories occurs by employing the method of automatic route preparation by interlocking systems in the organization of the movement of trains of different categories. In interlocking systems, automatic route preparation can be achieved by continuously monitoring train characteristics, train traffic graphs of various train classes, and the condition of equipment involved in the function’s development. Nonetheless, it is predicated on the creation of many models to arrange the specifications of various train classes and train movements inside a single schedule type. In order to prepare the routes ahead of time for the station tracks based on the algorithms for the operation of interlocking systems for various kinds of trains, the paper analyzes the reliance of the traffic composition characteristics.

“…To reduce human error, it's important to consider user expectations, previous training, and experience. Naumann et al (2013) highlight three key methods of user-centered design: understanding the user, evaluating existing systems, and testing new systems. Simulator and field studies can support efficient HMI development.…”

“…There were also field trials on remote driving in recent years. A test train without a driver on board was remotely controlled using 5G technology in Germany (Melzer, 2020). The test scenario was to drive the test train remotely via the 5G mobile network from the shunting area to the platform.…”

Purpose Increasing demand on rail transport speeds up the introduction of new technical systems to optimize the rail traffic and increase competitiveness. Remote control of trains is seen as a potential layer of resilience in railway operations. It allows for operating and controlling automated trains and communicating and coordinating with other stakeholders of the railway system. This paper aims to present the first results of a multi-phased simulator study on the development and optimization of remote train driving concepts from the operators’ point of view. Design/methodology/approach The presented concept was developed by benchmarking good practices. Two phases of iterative user tests were conducted to evaluate the user experience and preferences of the developed human-machine-interface concept. Basic training requirements were identified and evaluated. Findings Results indicate positive feedback on the overall system as a fallback solution. HMI elicited positive emotions regarding pleasure and dominance, but low arousal levels. Train drivers had more conservative views on the system compared to signalers and students. The training activities achieved increased awareness and understanding of the system for future operators. Inclusion of potential users in the development of future systems has the potential to improve user acceptance. The iterative user experiments were useful in obtaining some of the needs and preferences of different user groups. Originality/value Multi-phase user tests were conducted to identify and to evaluate the requirements and preferences of remote operators using a simplified HMI. Training analysis provides important aspects to consider for the training of future users.

“…Nesreće na željezničko-cestovnim prijelazima u mnogim državama su jedan od glavnih čimbenika povezanih sa smrtnim ishodima u željezničkom prometu jer unatoč činjenici da se takve nesreće događaju relativno rijetko one mogu imati izrazito teške posljedice (Ishak et al, 2008.). Pri tome glavni uzrok nesreća predstavlja ljudski faktor (Yeh, Multer, 2007., Naumann et al, 2013.…”

In the paper safety analysis of interface between electronic type of automatic level crossing device (LC) and relay based device of automatic block system (AB) is conducted for the purpose of indentifying the influence of their joint work on traffic safety. The analysis encompasses all potential failure cases in communication between observed signal-safety devices of AB and LC. Based on the results of the analysis it has been proved that the observed interface meets the safety criteria for application in railway transport, because if any failure occurs the respective signal-safety devices will always shift to a higher level of traffic safety, which is why it is not compromised.
