Queensland train controller cognitive
Applying a written rule set quickly and correctly while alarms compete for attention
Trains meet on a single line: for each one, decide from the crossing rules whether it runs through, waits in the loop, or the opposing train waits - while controller alarms arrive alongside, faster as the test goes on. The rules stay on screen. Twelve minutes. Queensland Rail does not publish its train controller assessments; this practises the rule-based decisions under load they are described as testing.
