    Danish train driver here. We are not taught this, but I have adopted this technique as an extra layer of safety. In a monotonous working environment and when you're tired your mind will start to wander - then pointing at everything you observe, makes sure that you actively take notice of it and not just see and forget. I like it very much.

      Hi Martin, Daniel here.
      Do you have many SPADs there? (Signals passed at danger)
      In Australia when we work alone we communicate with train control to verify signal is clear, caution or danger.

      @@AndrooUK Even if you think this way, it is a system that clearly establishes focus on the signal and helps mind stay in the job. Like when people are distracted by their phones, it is impossible to do this. In Japan even more so as passengers can see the driver.

    Indonesian Railways (KAI) has adopted pointing-and-calling since 2015 during the railway reform, and the results are incredible. Trains have become more punctual than before, work safety improved, and the number of incidents has decreased dramatically.
    I’ve personally started to implement this technique in my daily life. For example, when I’m about to leave my house, I will call “Lamps off OK, stove off OK, doors locked OK,” etc.

  • @Zedek
    @Zedek 4 роки тому +31

    I have to do that when I leave my home as I have this weird angst that I could have left on a faucet or the stove. So I walk past, point and say "Off", "off", "switched off", "closed" etc. I remember later that I did that and can sleep well when in vacation. This reassuring thing can really help you in such situations like mine as well.

    I helped myself learning to drive with an alteration of this behaviour: explaining to myself what I'm doing, wording all the things that I take note of and that go into a decision. One who can explain something to somebody else can also base his decisions on facts for himself. If there are uncertainties, you'll run into questions and become aware of what you don't know and how much extra time and how big of a safety margin you'll need.

    Aren't airplane pilots also required to check everything and say it out loud (at least in starting and landing)?

      @granthuff2716 7 років тому

      We have a better way. We use PTC (Positive Train Control. The onboard computers run a train better than any human. It knows EXACTLY where the train is, how fast it's going, and what the signals say miles ahead. If the human doesn't do the right thing (like slow down), PTC will take over the train and do it for him. Now if we can stop giving waivers to lines that claim they need more time to install PTC. Every Amtrak locomotive has it installed, but not every host line has it installed on their side.

    @laszlovona 6 років тому

    this is something you do unconsciously in evereyday life, job etc..Leaving home you mumble a checklist: "phone, wallet, carkeys, umbrella" .... Or sitting in the office, focusing on some complex task and start fingercounting your todos... OK, not the same, but similar mechanism in the background: you involve more senses/body functions and be more confident/accurate in what you are doing.

    • @AerisReyha

    • @germanmosca
      @germanmosca 6 років тому

      The pointing is not to prove that they did nothing wrong to a surveillance camera. That might be a added bonus these days. But the pointing and calling has been around in japan for many many many more decades then surveillance cameras in trains.
