Topic of the doctoral thesis: "Theoretical basis of automated control of the human factor in human-machine systems in railway transport".
Findings and developdents over past 15 years:
1. An educational and methodological complex (lecture notes, practical classes, independent work) of the following disciplines has been developed:
- "Research on the influence of the human factor on the functioning of transport systems" for applicants of the second (master's) level of higher education in the specialty 275 "Transport technologies (in railway transport), according to the educational program "Management of transport systems in conditions of risks and crises" (2019);
- "Human factor in transport systems" for applicants of the first (bachelor's) level of higher education in the specialty 275 "Transport technologies (by types)", educational program "Transport technologies (in railway transport)" (2022);
- "Corporate culture in railway transport" for applicants of the first (bachelor's) level of higher education in the specialty 275 "Transport technologies (by types), educational program "Transport technologies (in railway transport)" (2018).
2. Scientific supervision of qualification master's theses on the topic:
- "Research on the directions of taking into account the human factor in the train operation of the K metro" (2024);
- "Analysis and study of the reliability of the activities of the dispatcher-operator group of professions on the scale of the railway" (2022);
- "Research and development of an approach to increasing the reliability of transportation service employees based on statistics of traffic safety violations" (2021).
