Question 7

Marcus is designing a centralized railway control center where operators must monitor multiple high-speed train routes across multi-screen display arrays, coordinate schedules, and make rapid routing decisions during high-frequency disruptions. He wants to ensure that his operators can maintain high levels of sustained visual attention, minimize decision-making errors, and manage mental workload effectively. Describe how Marcus could apply research into cognitive ergonomics (human factors) to the design of the interface, environment, and task structure of this new control center.
