Performance Metric for Horn and Brake Automation on Mainline Trains

Abstract

This paper argues for the introduction of a mainline rail oriented end-user performance metric for driver-replacing on-board perception systems. Perception at the head of a train is analysed and divided into several subfunctions. This paper presents a preliminary submetric for the obstacle detection subfunction, focusing on false-negatives. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, there is no other such proposal for rail on-board perception systems. A set of submetrics for the subfunctions should facilitate the end-user oriented comparison of perception systems and guide the measurement of human driver performance. It should also be useful for a standardised predictive assessment of the number of accidents for a given perception system in a given operational design domain. In particular, for the proposal of the obstacle detection submetric, practitioners among the readership are invited to provide their feedback and quantitative information to the authors. In addition to the interim feedback, the analysis results of the full feedback will be published later.
