For you to: • Improve your understanding of SPADs
• Appreciate the train driver’s perspective
• Learn new ways of collecting information
• Consider how you can adopt project outcomes into your SPAD management programs

CRC SPADs Project • Increase in demand for service delivery • Increase in SPAD numbers • IdenNfy Key risk factors • Improve understanding of SPAD causaNon
– How are train movements and SPAD-‐risk managed from the perspecNve of the train driver?
– What are the implicaNons of this perspecNve and resulNng behaviour on
the rail organisaNon? – How can organisaNons improve their understanding of SPADs?

Phase I: Drivers
Findings
1) The driver-‐signal relaNonship
2) Devaluing the meaning of signals
3) “Are you fit to conNnue…”
4) Task-‐related distracNon: key risk factors

• Train driver-‐signal relaNonship highly personal • SPADs = acute stress response • Single factor (judgmental) explanaNons for SPAD • Fear factor/taboo • Fit to conNnue post-‐SPAD check is counterintuiNve • Yellow is the new green • Key risks are seen as organisaNonal norms

Future inquiry workshop(s) What was not being done (in Oct last year) • Managing Nmetable vs. defensive driving • Reviewing/tesNng Nmetabling • Training in the right areas • Retraining aWer incidents • TargeNng recruitment appropriately • No common definiNons for SPADs data • Inconsistencies in SPAD invesNgaNons • BeYer look at human factors issues/awareness
Rail Safety Conference 2014 | Sydney, Australia | 26th March 2014 | A Naweed | InnovaNon in Research on SPADs
Future inquiry workshop(s) First acNon steps: 1) Recruitment & training
-‐ NaNonal training package/standard 2) Data & informaNon -‐ Capture meaning data/standardisaNon 3) Cross industry collaboraNon -‐ ClassificaNon/engagement with CEOs 4) New technology -‐ Signal visibility – LEDs; HF in design; interoperability 5) Further SPADs research
