Abstract

This paper is based upon observations of train drivers at work, and defines certain kinds of errors which may be made by drivers in perceiving railway signals. It discusses hypotheses relating incidence of error to various factors. It is suggested that the investigation of hypotheses of this kind, derived from the observation of the normal performance of the operative, is a valid method of accident study.
