Abstract

To study the workload as well as the psychological and physiological characteristics of urban rail train drivers, the authors track and evaluate the drivers’ work stress and the related critical influences using a questionnaire and statistical analysis. The results show that the main sources of stress include workload, equipment failures, management style, and the driver’s gender, age, and years of service. Meanwhile, simulated driving tests and the Spirit Bio-feedback Instrument (an advanced psychological and physiological parameters monitoring system) are used to investigate changes of the related parameters during the driving operation. The study finds that during different working conditions there are statistical differences of the parameters such as electrocardiogram, brain activity and galvanic skin. Based on the above researches, an Urban Rail Train Driver Workload and Work Stress Model is developed.
