Abstract :
This study proposes the braking assistance system for train drivers to prevent an overrun at a station. The assistance system informs a driver of a predicted stopping position calculated by vehicle velocity and deceleration. Train-driving simulator experiments are examined with several subjects who are required train driving with mental calculation assumed mental workload. The assistance system makes it possible to operate the brake handle smoothly, while drivers without the assistance system repeat modified braking operations.
