Tasks, roles, and workplaces in highly automated rail

Kurzfassung

The increasing digitalization and automation of the railway system is leading to a gradual and clearly noticeable change in terms of tasks and roles of personnel in rail transport. At the German Aerospace Center (DLR), we examine these changes and their consequences in the interplay between people, technology and organization, and we derive recommendations for a user-centered design of future workplaces in the railway system. Current projects and results are presented here.
