list:
UK Department for Transport - Consultancy 2004 -
The Air, Marine and Rail Accident Investigation Branches of
the DfT retained RTI to assess and develop their competency
framework for Investigators.
Railway Safety and Standards Board - Training Research
2004 -
With sponsorship from Southern and Virgin Trains, the project
consists of empirical research on the impact of individual
learner variables on the effectiveness of technology-based
training methods. The research will generate recommendations
for effective design of training content for Train Drivers.
This should improve the effectiveness of training (e.g. reduced
failure rates, improved post training performance) and reduce
costs (e.g. duration).

On completion of the analysis and report RTI's specialists
will act as Expert Witness when the case comes before the

competencies of the driver and signaller involved in the accident.
