A commuter train derailed at the Sagamiko station on the JR East Chuo line in September 2013, the main cause being increased wheel load unbalance caused by an automatic air spring level controlling device damaged from human contact. The railcar had been used with the damage gone undetected, and where greater vertical force unbalance occurred on a transition curve, the wheel flange climbed on the rail and finally derailed.

Railway accidents due to human error continue to increase, and developing technologies that reduce the risk of human errors made by drivers is a global issue. Korea Railroad Research Institute has developed a virtual engineering-based railroad driver cab ergonomics verification simulator for international standards. The simulator’s capability has been expanded to jointly train and evaluate integrated Non-Technical Skills (NTS) of drivers, controllers and signallers, such as information exchange and communication in accident/abnormal/emergency situations, to improve railroad staffs’ safety duty capabilities. This paper describes the results of the simulator and our findings.
