Abstract

A method of monitoring the state of a train driver with the use of his/her individual standard and the rules of the justified differential interference in the operating activity was developed. This gives an opportunity to increase the train motion safety up to qualitatively new level. Furthermore, the method makes it possible to effectively control the reliability of the “human factor”, a train driver, under real conditions. As a result of the studies, the algorithm of specifying the degree of a train driver’s behavior deviation from his/her normal state during the process of controlling the train was suggested.

Its essence lies in specifying the “not a standard”state by defining four levels: critical, warning, preventive and informational. Each level requires different actions regarding the interference in the control process of a train. The directions of the justified corrective actions concerning the control of the locomotive were determined. The criteria of their estimation were obtained due to practical application of the system approach, the characteristic feature of which is the use of dependence of the dispersion on the functional state of the system, and Shewhart's Control Charts.

The suggested method uses contemporary transport technologies, digital onboard instruments and microprocessor devices; it does not require additional equipment in the cabin (bracelets, buttons, handles, etc.). Technical application of the method can be integrated practically into any form of the traction rolling stock. In this case, a new form of vigilance control does not distract a train driver from the main activity and does not require any significant capital investments.
