Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Verify rail traffic for autonomous operation
   • Rail traffic location is determined
2. Hazards are identified, risks assessed and control measures implemented
3. Rail traffic is accessed in accordance with workplace procedures
4. Rail traffic location is verified
5. Set up rail traffic for autonomous mission
   • Functions of equipment, component parts and accessories are identified
6. Applications of autonomous activities of different infotechnology equipment and systems are interpreted
7. Equipment is set up for autonomous operation in accordance with workplace procedures and manufacturer specifications
8. Routine faults in operating systems, software applications and operator errors are identified and rectified in accordance with workplace procedures
9. Autonomous systems are identified as working and active on the rail traffic
10. Situational awareness is applied through effective visual scans, use of communication systems, use of rail traffic information and use of systems of safe working in accordance with workplace procedures
11. Safety critical communication is undertaken with network control officer or relevant person to validate data
12. Autonomous train operational capabilities are monitored and continually evaluated, including visual indicators that rail traffic is now autonomous
13. Rail traffic is set to autonomous operations and driving cab is locked and secured for operation
14. Monitor and report autonomous traffic operations
    • Rail traffic readiness for mission is communicated in accordance with workplace protocols whilst standing in a safe place
15. Lights and sound devices are confirmed active on the rail traffic as it departs
16. Communication is maintained with relevant personnel and clarification is sought about anything that is not clear in relation to processes and procedures
17. Autonomous rail traffic is visually inspected on departure in accordance with workplace procedures
18. Records are updated in accordance with workplace procedures

Range Statement
