Decision Making in Railway Signallers

Network Rail were keen to understand, and develop a framework capable of representing Signaller decision making. This will inform future automation, system design and training of Signallers. This work has involved a literature review of the theory behind decision making and applied this knowledge to interpret interviews completed with signallers. The work to date has suggested a framework that reflects naturalistic decision making theory which will require future validation during future work.
