Passenger transport of the country has a significant impact on the level of its economic development, providing the connection of the population with objects of industrial, social, cultural and household purposes.In Russia, intercity passenger transportation by public transport is mainly represented by bus, rail, aviation (aircraft) and water (domestic). The article analyzes the dynamics of passenger transportation and passenger turnover of public transport for the period from 2015 to 2020, presents a calculation of the number of flights performed by bus, rail, air (aircraft) and water (domestic) transport, identifies the reasons for the lack of development of passenger transportation and suggests solutions.It is established that inland water transport is currently undergoing decline and state intervention is necessary for their development. Also, during the period under review, there is a decrease in the popularity of buses and a preference for private transport to public, it is necessary to improve the quality of transportation. The indicators of air and rail transport have positive dynamics, but they also require growth. The development of air transport in Russia can be carried out by the introduction of new services, for example, air taxi, rail-transport in the field of urban and suburban communications, the construction of new high - speed highways. In 2020, due to the announcement of restrictions on movement and quarantine measures, there is a sharp decline in indicators for all types of transport.The materials can be used to analyze and improve the work of the country's passenger complex.

The choice of a particular mode of transport as an alternative to another one is subjective and usually based on an individual passenger’s approach to the evaluation of advantages and disadvantages of some particular means of transport. The paper presents the methods of analysing the reasons for passengers’ choice of travelling by train as an alternative to using air transport and the results obtained in the research. The 16 criteria (sub-criteria), describing the advantages of travelling by rail over air travel, are defined. The data of the survey questionnaire filled by 52 passengers of the Vilnius–Moscow train and the ranks assigned by them to the considered criteria are described. The average ranks of all 16 criteria and their normalized subjective weights are calculated by using a new method of average rank transformation into weight (ARTIW). The average ranks assigned by the passengers of the train to sub-criteria and the calculated global weights show what criteria are most important. Using the inverse hierarchy model based on the sub-criteria weights, the most and the least important groups of criteria are determined. The institutions and companies engaged in passenger transportation by rail, which give priority to improving the services described by the most important criteria, can make this mode of transport more attractive to people.

Analysis of Airport Passangers Trip Origin Towards The Access To The Airport (Case Study: Semarang, Yogyakarta and Surabaya): The economic development of a city will be accompanied by an increase in the number of population, which means it will generate more mobility as well as the need of transportation. Changes in travel time due to congestion will also affect travel cost. From the relationship between the growth of the number of vehicles in a city and the accessibility to the airport, it is necessary to research the significance of that relationship. Three airports namely Ahmad Yani Airport, Adisucipto Airport and Juanda Airport with the correspondent cities they served used as the case study. The data of travel time and travel distance of the respondents processed using the relation analysis. The problem solving method exercised the distribution of modal choice, the difference of travel time to theairport and to forecast the number of passengers if mass transport is utilized. The result of the study indicates that the growth of air transport demand correlate positively with the population growth. Respondents indicates mass rail transport is required if the possibility of loss of flight can occur in cities with varying fluctuations in travel time. Berkembangnya ekonomi kota akan diiringi dengan bertambahnya jumlah penduduk dan meningkatkan tingkat bermobilitas yang menyebabkan kebutuhan transportasi bertambah. Perubahan waktu perjalanan juga akan mempengaruhi biaya perjalanan yang diakibatkan kemacetan. Dari hubungan antara pertumbuhan jumlah kendaraan disuatu kota dan aksesibilitas menuju bandara, maka perlu dilakukan penelitian signifikansi hubungan tersebut. Sebagai studi kasus digunakan data 3 bandara yaitu Bandara Ahmad Yani, Bandara Adisucipto dan Bandara Juanda. Data waktu tempuh dan jarak perjalanan responden diolah dalam analisis hubungan waktu tempuh dan jarak perjalanan. Metode penyelesaian permasalahan yang ada adalah mengidentifikasi distribusi penggunaan moda, menghitung perbedaan waktu tempuh perjalanan menuju bandara dan dilakukan peramalan jumlah penumpang apabila diadakan transportasi massal. Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan adanya kesesuaian bahwa pertumbuhan demand transportasi udara seiring dengan pertumbuhan jumlah penduduk. Responden menunjukkan transportasi massal rel dibutuhkan jika kemungkinan terjadinya kehilangan penerbangan dapat terjadi pada kota dengan fluktuasi perubahan waktu tempuh yang sangat bervariasi.

Abstract. Compared with other team settings, flight crew in air transport present a unique situation where the leader or supervisor regularly engages in active control. When the captain is assigned cognitively demanding pilot flying duties, the subordinate and often less experienced first officer must perform equally crucial monitoring and support duties. Using a systematic review methodology, this study reviews the reported effect of crew role assignment on flight safety outcomes. Our review identified 18 relevant studies and suggests crew performance factors linked to flight safety are affected by crew role assignment. Findings suggest a greater number of inherent obstacles may exist for optimal crew performance with the captain as pilot flying, raising the need for further specific research and policy review in this area.
