SUMMARY:Public Transport: Research and Design for Human Use
DESCRIPTION:Public Transport Victoria Human Factors Team and the Transport 
 Special Interest Group at the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of Aust
 ralia invite you to a morning of talks on application of Human Factors met
 hods and research to inform and optimise the user centred design of public
  transport systems. As demand for Public Transport increases year on year\
 , it has never been more important to optimise the design of systems throu
 gh best practice Human Factors and scientific research.\n\nWho should atte
 nd? This event will be of value to anyone involved in the analysis\, desi
 gn\, delivery or operation of public transport systems and infrastructure.
 \nProgram:\nCreating accessible bus journeys for mobility aid users (Prof.
  Carolyn Unsworth\, CQU)\nThis presentation will provide details of recent
 ly completed research that measured mobility aids against the new Blue Lab
 el scheme specifications (SA TS 3695.3:2018)\, and then used 3D technology
  to scan a selection of mobility aids and buses and test their compatibili
 ty using pathfinding and collision detection software. The findings highli
 ght the need to re-think how we currently view the compatibility of mobili
 ty aids on buses\, and the limitations and potential strengths of the DSAP
 T.\n\nCaution. Wet Floor. Does it explain slips\, trips and falls on train
 s and at railway stations? (Dr Gregoire Larue\, QUT)\nInvestigation of how
  passengers navigate through three selected Brisbane railway stations and 
 on trains\, and identification of potential factors contributing to slips\
 , trips and falls. The presentation will have a user focus and will discus
 s both regular travellers and high-risk rail users.\n\nNormal performance:
  A new perspective for improving level crossing safety using observations 
 of user behaviour (Dr Gemma Read\, University of the Sunshine Coast)\nThe 
 concept of normal performance provides a new perspective for understanding
  behaviour in safety-critical domains. This presentation will discuss find
 ings from a research project involving the analysis of video footage of us
 er behaviour at different level crossing sites to better understand how fa
 ctors such as the crossing design\, operation or demographic factors influ
 ence behaviour. The analysis includes the range of behaviour that occurs i
 ncluding non-compliant behaviours\, compliant behaviours\, and positive sa
 fety behaviours\, providing different insights into how safety can be impr
 oved. The project is ongoing and this presentation will include some key f
 indings from various sites and emerging findings from comparisons of behav
 iours across different sites.\n\nPractical and operational challenges for 
 tackling rail trespass and suicide in Australia (A/Prof. Anjum Naweed\, CQ
 U)\nThe implications of fatalities arising from trespass and suicide on ra
 ilways are apparent. Beyond the needless and tragic loss of human life\, t
 hese incidences dramatically impact the health and wellbeing of all those 
 affected\, causing trauma and work-related stress to rail and recovery sta
 ff alike\, and “vicarious” trauma to others. In Australasia\, these ex
 periences are well-documented and their impacts are a known risk that requ
 ires effective management if rail is to approach a better future. This res
 earch\, endorsed by rail organisations throughout Australasia\, undertook 
 a review of international literature\, and followed it with an exploration
  of the applicability of preventative practices. This presentation will pr
 ovide the findings from the review and keys barriers for Australasia\, wit
 h a focus on findings relevant to the Victorian rail context..\n\n(limited
