A harmonised European driver’s desk for cross-border traffic
As part of the EU;funded research project MODTRAIN, system integrators and suppliers (e.g. Alstom, Bombardier, Siemens), railway operators (DB, SNCF, TI, UIC) as well as various railway research centres and universities worked together at “Innovative Modular Concepts for an Integrated European Railway System. The aim of subproject EUCAB was to facilitate cross border railway traffic with a harmonised, modular and ergonomic design of the drivers cab with the main focus on the essential elements of the drivers desk. Based on substantial analysis concerning existing drivers cabs and desks design guidelines were developed and finally realised in a design mock-up (scale 1:1). This mock-up was assessed by engine drivers and experts. Results of these “mock-up tests led to change requests. Based on these requests and on new operator requirements the desk was adapted. This adapted drivers desk was tested in three test phases (2 layouts for locomotives and one layout for EMU) at the railway simulator “SIMUFER in Lille, France. The tests were performed all together by 51 test persons. The test persons were engine drivers, mainly experienced, from 11 different European countries. Each test phase lasted approximately 1 month. The test duration for each test person was 1 day. The engine drivers had to drive in several scenarios with different tasks and partly with unexpected incidents. After each of the scenarios the driver was surveyed by means of a questionnaire. The main focus for the assessment comprised controls used most frequently during this scenario as well as complex tasks that had to be performed in this scenario. At the end of the test day the engine drivers had to complete a comprehensive final questionnaire with the aim of summarising and recording the impressions received during the day. Furthermore data concerning the strain of the engine drivers was collected twice during the test day (at the beginning and at the end). The aim of the tests was to find critical points in terms of ergonomics, safety or in general and to derive a harmonised solution concerning the man-machine-interface within the drivers cab. These findings will then lead to a revision of existing standards and regulations.
