Working environment of train drivers
The project studies the work of train dispatchers with the aim of improving their working environment and decision-making.
The project uses observations, interviews and questionnaires to measure when operators experience stress or boredom. The project will also use equipment from DEPICT-Lab to study eye movements, measure activity level (skin conductance) and concentration (pupil size). The measurements are made to create a basis for discussion for further interviews about the type of information or event that preceded a certain decision, reaction and physiological response. The questions the project aims to answer are: what information is needed to support decision-making, what causes stress or boredom, can work be redesigned to counteract stress or boredom and improve decision-making?
