Train operation at higher speed necessitates attentiveness, alertness and ability to respond promptly with precision and promptness for taking prudent decisions under dynamic situation of train driving. Proficiency and competence of locomotive drivers, their acumen and expertise to formulate strategies for dealing with the varying situations associated with operation of trains involve manifestation of specific cognitive, psychomotor and behavioural abilities, in absence of which their reliability becomes safety critical. Deployment of proficient drivers possessing appropriate attribute and apposite aptitude can be ensured through an efficient psychometric assessment and the process of assessment becomes crucial in minimizing safety critical risk factors and ensuring efficiency and safety in high speed train operation.

Based on the FMEA and risk assessment analysis method, authors proposed 25 kinds of failure modes about the door system of high-speed train, conducted a risk assessment from the risk grade and criticality. Four kinds of failure modes are obtained with the highest level of risk and criticality in the door system of high-speed train. They are control failure, communication failure, compensator failure and poor function. Four key components, affecting the door system safety of high-speed train, are identified in terms of door control unit, driving device, locking mechanism and platform compensator. Research outcomes can be used in analyzing the failure causes and specific solutions to reduce and avoid the high-speed train operation risk.
