Abstract: This information collection is new, and is entirely voluntary. FRA is proposing a one-time study which will focus on railroad engineer performance. Railroad engineers will provide reporting information to FRA on two forms -- one involving a Perceived Usability and Usefulness Survey and the other involving User Experience Interview Questions -- after a simulator exercise. Distraction is a common problem in locomotive cabs and preliminary research suggests that the dispatch radio may have significant effects on crew workload and performance. FRA seeks to develop an understanding of how the dispatch radio communication could eventually lead to human performance degradation in the railroad engineer and if a Head-up Display (HUD) would be an alternative and superior technology to communicating information usually conveyed over the dispatch radio.
