RATIONALE FOR PERSPECTIVE APPROACHES TO THE ASSESSMENT OF SENSOR LOADS IN HIGHLY QUALIFIED OPERATOR PROFILE SPECIALISTS IN THE PROCESS OF THEIR PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES
Abstract: Introduction. Today, the assessment of sensory loads among operators of the operator profile is incorrect due to the complication of systems and processes with which operators work, as well as a subjective expert assessment of the number of perceived signals. It is necessary to use objective methods for registering this indicator. Purpose of the work: substantiation of the application of the eye-tracking method for assessing the sensory loads of drivers of public land urban transport and pilots of civil aviation. Methods. The study involved 45 public transport drivers and 24 civil aviation pilots. The assessment of sensory loads by the eye-tracking method was carried out. The results obtained were compared with the data obtained in accordance with R 2.2.2006-05. Results. In total, during 1 hour of driving, the driver received 3159 signals, which is 4.5 times more than the number of signals identified by the expert. The density of signals perceived by the pilot was 2262, however, according to the eye-tracker, the indicator is significantly higher - 9848 signals. Conclusions. The proposed approach to assessing visual loads can be applied to various professional groups and will help to objectively assess this indicator, avoiding expert errors.
