Automation and cyber security risks on the railways: the human factors implications.

Thon, Eylem; Faily, Shamal

Abstract

Automation improves rail passenger experience, but may reduce cyber resilience because it fails to adequately account for human factors. Preliminary results from a study on signallers and automation confirms this, but judicious use of modelling tools may ensure design for automation considers this.
