Train controller multitasking
Multitasking, prioritisation and working memory under rising load
Decide which of two trains goes first, route approaching trains and handle alarms, all at once, faster as the test goes on. The rules stay on screen, so what is tested is applying them while busy. Fifteen minutes. No operator publishes its controller battery; this practises multitasking, prioritisation and working memory under load.

Before you start
- 88 seconds, no breaks. Events arrive faster as the test goes on.
- Each card has a time bar. Answer it by the rules before the bar runs out; a wrong decision and a time-out cost the same mark.
- Click an option, or use the keys: 1 2 3 4 answer the oldest card in Panel; Q W E answer the oldest card in Alarms & calls; A S answer the oldest card in Regulation.
- The rules stay on screen throughout - you do not need to learn them first.
- Leaving this tab voids the attempt.
