ABSTRACT: Hong Kong Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC) is dealing
with the design, construction and operation of West Rail, a new 30
kilometre railway line that will connect the urban Kowloon with the
north-western part of the New Territories with opening scheduled for the
end of year 2003. In support of the new railway line operation, new
modern control centres will be incorporated in the design. The design
criterion is based on understanding the fundamental operation of the
railway, starting with a detailed analysis of tasks to be carried out in
the various control centres. In addition, human factors are also
considered in all aspects of the design. This paper presents the
processes that have been adopted in designing these control centres with
particular focus on the merging of the advanced technologies and
ergonomic considerations into the control centre work setting
