Train dispatcher game
Rule-based routing and divided attention as the event rate rises
Route arriving trains to station tracks by direction and type, and decide whether departures wait for late connections, with trains coming faster in each block. The rules stay on screen. Ten minutes. ProRail's dispatcher selection is reported to include an online game, but its content is not published; this practises routing by rules while a second stream of decisions competes for attention.
