Notice Title

RSSB2725 - Trial of Automated Driver Competence Indicators using On Train Data Recorders, to support driver management - Supplier Day - Friday 17th August 10:00 - 12:00

Notice Description

RSSB is holding supplier day on Friday 17th August 2018 from 10:00 to 12:00. If your organisation is interested in attending please contact the below email address by COP Thursday 16th August: Shareditt@rssb.co.uk -- Purpose This notification is to invite interested parties to provide input into the specification of a trial through an Expression of Interest (EoI) and supplier day. This project aims to develop, trial and demonstrate value from a tool to assist Train Operating Companies (TOCs) with driver competence support and management. The rail industry invests significant amounts of time and money in driver training and in demonstrating driver competence through assessments, including manual analysis of data from On-Train Data Recorders (OTDR). These activities, which are typically incorporated into a competence management system, can be time-consuming to and incur substantial cost. Additionally, there is presently no industry approach to demonstrating the efficacy of competence management systems in an objective manner. Under the Strategic Partnership established with University of Huddersfield (UOH), a project was carried out to investigate the feasibility of developing of a range of Automated Driver Competency Indicators (ADCIs) based on the automatic analysis of OTDR data. The initial results of this project showed that these ADCIs showed promise but that further work was required to trial and demonstrate value before they would be implemented by Train Operating Companies. Potential benefits to industry through use of ADCIs include: 1. Reducing the time taken for driver managers to manually check OTDR data. 2. Improved visibility of driver performance. 3. Increasing the objectivity of assessments of driver performance. 4. Capturing data over time, allowing monitoring of trends and precursors. 5. Providing drivers with timely feedback on their performance, and the potential for drivers to self evaluate. 6. Allowing better targeting of competence management focussing on those drivers in need of support. It is the aspiration of RSSB that this trial will encourage suppliers and train operating companies to further develop and use ADCIs to realise the potential benefits. Proposed scope and structure The aim for this project is to take a collaborative approach between RSSB, Train Operating Companies (TOCs), the University of Huddersfield and the successful suppler for the project. The proposal is to have the supplier develop and implement ADCIs for the TOC partners who will give input into their requirements and give feedback on the efficacy of the ADCIs. The University of Huddersfield RSSB will support the project from a technical point of view and will deliver work package 3, and it is planned for RSSB to support the trial from a human factors and training perspective and will review outputs. Two TOCs have already agreed in principle to supporting the project, providing their in kind support.
