Usage ergonomics methodollogies for the accommodation of controlling aquipment in train cab

The upgrading of the new part of equipment in various locomotive cabs represents a significant challenge for the engineering and for the cognitive ergonomics. The task is to facilitate the installation of the new Rail Safety and Standard Board (RSSB) and the communication equipment GSM-R (Global System of Mobile Communications – Rail), and this requires the analysis of the human factors in the process of driving the locomotive. This article resulted from a research which, among other things, encompassed the influence of human factors on the location of Man-Machine Interface (MMI) and the radio equipment (GSM-R). This was followed by the analysis of methods that would provide consequent and precise estimate of the alternative location of the equipment in any type of the train control cab. This work aims at determining the optimal location for the MMI equipment based on the analysis of the position of the engine driver in the limited space of the drivers cab. The location of the MMI equipment which consists of the control display unit (CDU), manual commands, manual phone and loudspeakers is determined by the set of human factors.
