Advances in in-cabin systems for the management of long trains

Research at the Centre for Railway Engineering has developed an in-cabin system that provides predictions of in-train forces and velocity in future time window. The development process included consultation with users (drivers) and traffic managers to ensure that the information is presented to the driver in the best possible way to minimise distraction and conveying only the most important information. This paper presents the latest developments of the in-cabin device along with discussion of differing approaches to in-cabin information systems.
