Signaller multitasking
Attention across several sources and rule-based decisions under rising load
Route approaching trains on a junction panel while alarms and calls arrive alongside, each with its own deadline, faster as the test goes on. The rules stay on screen, so what is tested is applying them while busy. Twelve minutes. Network Rail's signaller suite is built by Aon and not published; this practises the constructs it is described as measuring - attention across several sources, rule-based decisions under rising load.
