The question refers to workload management from different perspectives: organisational, individual, operational demand. I'm just interesting in different viewpoints on this question
It is relatively easy of course to find several old and new papers on the subject ot workload in railways. Have you browsed the best journals yet?
Here are a few links I found:
A book on rail human factors:

Workload management: http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-94-009-0981-6_16#page-1
More on workload management: http://books.google.se/books?id=Mm3Oj6CCr5gC&pg=PA792&dq=workload+management+railway*&hl=sv&sa=X&ei=MQ-GVKf8DcT4ywOInID4Dg&ved=0CDwQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=workload%20management%20railway*&f=false
There are, as I mentioned, more than ten books on the issue, and I am sure that you will find such things in the (perhaps) best journal on the market:
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit - http://pif.sagepub.com
Thank you for your comment and relevant sources of information!
Yes I've already browsed the journal papers and books, and have written a literature review about it. Maybe there have been a few recent research in this area that I missed. So, any additional information and opinions are really appreciated.
Thank you for your reply and I will look through all the links you sent.
