ANALYSIS OF DISPATCHER’S ACTIVITY IN RAILWAY TRAFFIC CENTER
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze the activities of dispatchers in rail traffic control centers, using the analytical-synthetic model. The biocybernetics system 'man-dispatcher', the control information system 'technics-technology', and the accompanying system 'working and living environment' form the basis of this model. By analyzing the dispatcher’s work shown, the relationships between the devices in the traffic control centers and the dispatcher’s abilities are determined in order to improve the ergonomic design of the traffic control centers. Model activities, described by connections between the activities, made it possible to practically form network models. A detailed analysis of the structure and the time necessary for ergonomic research has been carried out. The application of the analytical-synthetic model improves the quality and level of research, making each activity more efficient and systematically aligned with its objectives.
