The aim of my research Cardiff University will be to develop objective measures in stress and fatigue in train crew. This will be achieved by addressing the following objectives:

• Objective One: To determine the scale of occupational stress and fatigue in train drivers using survey and qualitative methods.
• Objective Two: To develop mobile phone methodology (tests of alertness and attention) to provide indicators of crew fatigue.
• Objective Three: To develop a model of fatigue that can be used to plan work schedules which maximise safety and wellbeing.
• Objective Four: To develop training packages that increase awareness of stress and fatigue.
• Objective Five: To develop a tool to assess the efficacy and impact of organisational changes and training.
