Rail

Need human factors expertise to keep your projects on track?

A successful railway system is about much more than carriages and tracks.

What the average commuter never sees is the integrated traffic management systems, connected DAS and ETCS, and the processing of all sorts of advanced customer information – all the things that make the system hang together.

But all of that relies to a greater or lesser extent on the consideration of human factors.

Threats from ignoring human factors in rail projects

The impact of ignoring human factors can be significant:

  • Time and budget issues – your railway projects could miss their deadlines, leading to wasted budget and pressure from your management chain.
  • Poor customer experience – technology innovations that could have been implemented with proper planning are instead restricted or shelved, increasing passengers’ frustrations.

We want to help you deliver projects as planned so that neither your management team nor your end users get anything other than a great service. For that to happen, we have to take human factors into account.

Common considerations in human factors consultancy for railway projects

  • Projects are at risk if you try to carry out business change at the same time as technology change.
  • What strains might affect the workforce if there are tight commissioning deadlines and tough asset owner standards and requirements?
  • What is a proportionate level of ergonomic intervention and testing needed to understand and apply relevant standards to new equipment and systems?

At Liv Systems, we’re used to helping project managers and engineering teams to take the stress out of railway projects.

Our approach aligns with wider programme management methodologies, such as Network Rail’s GRIP process:
