Abstract

An experience-based software was developed to help prevent human errors using point and call checks. The five functions comprising point and call checks help prevent human error. Learners were able to experience each error prevention function by going through tasks in the developed software, which corresponded to the five abovementioned functions. The effectiveness of this software in the training for conductors and train operators was also validated. The respective mean subjective ratings for the five functions in point and call checks before and after training were compared. The result indicated that the learners were more convinced of the method's effectiveness after the training than before it. Some railway companies use this software in their safety education and training programs.
