Automatically assessing driver performance using black box OTDR data

Southern working with Tessella has expanded the TAPAS system to provide an enhanced system which facilitates the automatic analysis of Driver performance. The enhanced framework, Churros, provides a visualisation of this data to highlight drivers who perform well and those whose performance requires active management. It is expected that the development of this system will provide a change in the way that driver performance is proactively managed in the same way that TAPAS did for train performance.
