Suosituksen perustelu
The information provided by the locomotive’s running control as the train approached the ATC construction area was incomplete. The locomotive’s running control monitor should provide clear notification that the train is in an ATC construction area, that the speed limit is 80 km/h, and that the train must proceed in accordance with visible signals.
Recommendation
The running control monitors of locomotives and the information provided via these monitors should be developed in such a way that they provide better information during non-standard situations.
