[WORKLOAD OF PASSENGER TRAIN DRIVER AT DIFFERENT ROADS AND DRIVING REGIMES].

There was performed a chronometer study of the workload of passenger train drivers in the work in the areas of circulation differing in the complexity of the track profile and in working in various modes of conducting the train. As a result of the chronometer study of the workload of passenger train drivers in the work in the areas of circulation differing in the complexity of the track profile there was determined the structure of the workload of the operational activity of drivers and revealed the dependence of the increase in the number of control actions in the complication of the track profile. Analysis of data obtained as a result of the study of patterns of the activity in the manual mode and with the use of the automatic driving system showed a marked decrease in active control actions, but also revealed the growing problem of physical inactivity among train drivers.

[The physiological and hygienic bases of traffic control on high-speed transport].

The study of high-speed transport drivers' work has indicated that the latter is characterized by high nervous and emotional stress, the required long forced posture, high attention and monotonicity, as well as the physiologically power-intensive algorithm that places stringent requirements for the body's functional state. A combination of the above factors significantly deteriorates the drivers' ability to maintain the required level of vigilance, working capacity, and readiness for emergent actions, which requires the introduction of new security systems and the development of complex measures to minimize the influence of the above negative factors.
