Contract Notice: Research Project - Dzsf - Teleoperation As A Supplement To Automated Rail Operations (Ato): Framework Conditions And Human -Centered Design Research And Development Services And Related Consultancy Services Short Description: The Path For The Introduction Of Ato In The Full Railway Area May Still Be Unclear In Detail, It Seems Certain That Automated Systems On Trains Will Only Gradually Take On Human Tasks. It Is Problematic With Regard To The Human Factors, Ie The Psychological, Cognitive And Social Influencing Factors In Socio-Technical Systems, That The Profession Of Driving Vehicle Leaders (Tf) Loses Tasks And Areas Of Responsibility. The Job Description Of The Tf Will Change. The Question Is Not Whether Tasks Are Eliminated, But How The New Work Can Be Designed. An Approach Here For Can Be The Telephoto Surgery (Remote Train Operation). It Is In European Ato Concepts, Such As B. Intended For The Betuwe Route, To Supplement The Technology And To Fix Problems In An Exceptional Situation. The Current Stvg Amendment For Automated Driving Describes A Regulative Approach For This. The Vehicle Does Not Have To Be Permanently Monitored By Humans Within A Fixed Operating Area. In The Event Of Problems, The Vehicle Puts Itself In A Risk -Minimal Condition; A Technical Supervision Then Specifies The Maneuvers By Telephoto Surgery. The Technical Framework Conditions Are Currently Missing In The Area Of The Full Railways For The Implementation Of Such A Concept. The Rail Network Is Not Sufficiently Covered With A Powerful Communication System, Which Is Why A Continuous Connection Of The Tele-Tf To The Train Is Not Guaranteed. In Addition, The Ato Functionalities Are Not Yet Reliable Enough For The Nationwide Introduction. Therefore, The System Still Has To Be Monitored By Humans. In The Medium Term, However, Other Scenarios Are Conceivable Without Permanent Human Monitoring. The Technical Implementation Of Telephoto Operation Is Therefore Already The Subject Of Various Research Projects. What Has Only Existed In Initial Approaches So Far Are Operational Scenarios For Telephoto Surgery And A Concept For The Job Profile Of Tele-Tf, Which Includes Human And Organizational Factors In Particular As Well As Current Social Developments In The Labor Market. The Project Aims To Develop A Validated Concept For A New Job Profile Of A Telephoto Operating Driver (Tele-Tf), Which Can Be Integrated Into The Future Automated Rail Operations. Based On Existing Scientific Findings On Telephone Surgery, Requirements For Certain Operational Scenarios Of A Technically Feasible Use Should Be Derived - To The Sensors, The Tele -Tf And Their Workplace. On The One Hand, This Serves To Analyze And - If Necessary - To Analyze And - If Necessary. Above All, However, A Job Profile For Tele-Tf Including Possible Qualification Measures And The Associated Workplace Should Be Designed. The Focus Of The Project Is On The Human And Organizational Factors Of Ato Supplementary Telephoto Surgery. The Technology Of The Ato- And Remote Control Systems Should Only Be Examined In That It Should Be Defined By The Framework Conditions Of The Company And That They Would Have To Be Adapted In Compliance With The Human Factors. The Knowledge From The Project Is Intended To Ensure That Telephoto Operation In The Development Of Ato Systems - If Necessary - Can Be Taken Into Account As Part Of These Systems. At The Same Time, The Project Is Entitled To Record The Implications Of Telephoto Surgery For Humans. This Should Show Ways To Shape The Change In The Job Description Of The Tf And Create Attractive Jobs. This Makes The Dzsf A Contribution To The Further Development Of Rail Transport.
