Significance of output:

Funded by Network Rail and presented as expert witness evidence in the civil litigation (challenging Cullen's assumption that the signalman could respond in 2 seconds) between Network Rail and Thames Trains (saving Network Rail about £20 million). The paper developed the Multi-Modal Critical Path Analysis approach and provided a set of data. DSTL has used the approach and data for operational analysis to appreciate minimum times for information to flow between command systems and a team of operators in a maritime operations room. This has had value in informing doctrine development in the MoD. Contact [dstl] Human Systems Group: cscchapman@dstl.gov.uk
