It is the conference to hear about state-of-the-art HF in rail research and knowledge and will cover key topical issues such as human factors in design, new technologies, in-cab signalling, traffic management, competence management and safety culture. The last event in 2021 saw 200 delegates come together from around the world and it provides a unique networking opportunity.
The call for abstracts is now open on the event website, in additional to the presentation of research findings, the conference steering group is particularly keen to hear from practitioners and how they have embedded HOF principles and practices within rail projects and operations. The steering group would also encourage papers demonstrating HOF learning from operational events.
