Serious gaming: playing for science

The Chair of Railway Signaling and Transport Safety Technology is also involved in the development of a new driving service regulation for "digital rail operations". A doctoral student is working exclusively on this topic and members of the Chair are involved in the experimental testing of the new rules using "serious gaming". This involves role-playing scenarios, in particular with train dispatchers and train drivers, and applying the new rules, including the new form of presentation. A model railroad, whose infrastructure covers as many scenarios as possible, is used to illustrate the journeys.
