HUMAN FACTORS QUESTIONNAIRE MEASUREMENT OF ENGINEER DECISION FREQUENCY
The University of Virginia Center for Rail Safety-Critical Excellence (CRSCE) has developed a questionnaire for measuring railroad engineers' beliefs regarding the frequency of unusual action decisions based upon scenarios encountered during a daily work schedule. The questionnaire is designed to collect responses via a secured web-based interface. Scenarios describe railroad conditions such as work zones, temporary speed restricted zones, control point signal aspects, and emergency braking. Engineers are given the correct response according to rulebook regulations and asked to rate the frequency of unusual action decisions of a hypothetical crew, based upon performance-shaping factors of fatigue, broad and specific experience, training and attention. The response categories for the engineers are Never, One in 50 years, Once in 20 years, Once in 5 years, Once in a Year, Once in a month, or Regularly.
