Abstract:

Recent accidents in commuter rail operations and analyses of rule violations have highlighted the need for

better understanding of the contributory role of distraction and attentional errors. Distracted driving has

thoroughly been studied in recent years, but distraction during rail operations has been less extensively

examined. This Discussion Panel involves four speakers who will examine different aspects of the

distraction issue. Topics will include a systems analysis of rail operations, analysis of rule violations and

surveys of locomotive engineers, description of a high-fidelity rail simulator, and results from a two-part

study using this simulator to examine distraction and attentional errors in commuter rail operations.

Implications of the findings for reducing major rule violations and improving the safety of rail operations

will be discussed.
