Abstract. The current paper is a continuation and a final part of the same named paper published in the latter issue of the journal “Transport law and security”. The current paper has presented a rationale for the need to develop a professional standard for a specialist in the field of transport safety in railway transport and implement it into practice personnel activities in transport. Based on the study and comparative legal analysis of current professional standards in other areas of transport activity, there have been considered the main approaches to the formation of the structure and content of the professional standard “Specialist in the field of ensuring railway transport security”. There have been formulated the main labor functions and labor actions performed by this specialist, as well as the requirements for the skills and abilities that he must possess. There has been shown that the official approval and implementation of this professional standard will ensure uniform approaches to the formation of professional competencies among transport security specialists, will form a methodological basis for the development and implementation of relevant educational standards in the system of higher and secondary vocational education, as well as in the system of professional retraining and advanced training of specialists in this profile.

Abstract. The current paper has discussed the main tendencies in transport education in Russia, underlined its most significant distinctive features and their reflection in the directions of the Russian transport system development, set out in the Transport Strategy of the Russian Federation. There has been noted that since the beginning of the XXI century the main tendency in the education of Russia has been centralization, which is implemented in the form of establishing federal, flagship and network universities. Based on the previous analysis of software platforms of transport universities, there was drawn a conclusion that universities of this profile have modern distance learning systems, which are based on the Moodle platform common to most universities. The experience accumulated in transport universities during the educational process using distance learning technologies allows speaking about the reality of the project of a network transport university in Russia. The organizational and legal form of such a university should be a consortium of transport universities, which implies an equal partnership of all participating universities. This project is aimed at integrating the scientific potential of transport universities and improving the quality of training the transport specialists by strengthening cooperation, interuniversity connection, and cooperation with transport industry enterprises in the Russian Federation. There has been drawn a conclusion that in the context of digitalization of the transport industry and the economy, these are network universities that have the highest potential, since they combine the potential advantages of various universities on a voluntary basis, providing conditions for mutual enrichment both in methodological and technological facets.

The relevance and practical significance of the study of issues of public law regulation of training the staff of transport security forces for their professional activities is substantiated by the special significant transport security for the functioning of the Russian economy, enforcement of the national security, which has a unique geopolitical position, territory, and length of transport routes. In the current paper, in accordance with logic passing from the abstract to the concrete, there have been considered the problematic issues of public law regulation of social relations, arising during training the staff of transport security forces for their professional activities. Due to the determined purpose, which is to develop scientifically based proposals for improving the system of administrative and legal acts regulating of training the staff of transport security forces for their professional activities, based on a systematic legal analysis of conflicts and gaps in legislation in the field of transport security, there has been solved several research tasks. There have been formulated and substantiated the proposals for improving several seemingly important aspects of the legal consolidation of directions, forms and procedures for training the staff of transport security forces. There has been critically analyzed the content of the legal categories actively used in transport legislation which made it possible to fix some significant conflicts and gaps in the administrative legislation governing relations in the field of training the staff of transport security forces for their professional activities. Based on the study results, there have been formulated several proposals to improve the current transport legislation, which can be used to develop and subsequently apply a professional standard for the staff of transport security forces, which, in turn, can contribute to enforcing security in the process of functioning of the elements of the Russian transport system in modern conditions.

Abstract. The current work is a sociological study of an important scientific problem of professional motivation of students, who receive higher education in the Moscow and regional transport universities. The first-year students studying at the Law Institute of the Russian University of Transport (RUT (MIIT)) and the first-year students studying at the Rostov State Transport University (RSTU) participated in the study. The paper has presented the questionnaire, the answers to the questions of which formed the basis of the current study. The paper has considered the close correlation between motivation of students and their employment after graduation. The study has demonstrated that in the first year of study it is possible to identify students who will not work in the chosen specialty in future. The teaching staff’s efforts to motivate students in the profession could reduce the proportion of those who do not plan to work in the field chosen for training.

Abstract. Currently, 70% of drivers’ training organizations are commercial, striving, first of all, for obtaining profit, i.e. to train a student and send him to the state exam in the traffic police as soon as possible. In such a situation, it is no use to talk about the quality and attentive attitude to the problems of drivers’ training. The 2013 driver training reforms not only failed to fully clarify and fill the gaps in the current legislation, but gave rise to new questions that have not yet been answered. According to the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia issued on February 20, 2021 No. 80, there were approved the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation on the provision of public services for conducting exams for driving licenses. The new rules are a compilation of the best foreign experience that could be applied in Russian conditions. What changes have been made to the rules for passing the exam on a driving license? There is a hope that the toughening of the rules will have a positive impact on the quality of students’ knowledge. In this case, drivers’ training schools will not only have to train for the correct answers, but also ensure a thorough study of the curriculum for future drivers, and its implementation will be checked at an internal exam.

Abstract. Despite the fact that it was in the field of transport almost a century ago that the method of training vehicle workers on simulators first appeared, in the context of the spread of methods of virtual reality and digitalization, there is still no clear legislative regulation, primarily in terms of the need to use the method of collective crew trainings using virtual and augmented reality technologies. The current paper has analyzed the causes of plane crashes (according to the Interstate Aviation Committee) arising as a result of inadequate interaction of aircraft crew members with automation and ground services, which often appear when the conditioned reflexes collide during an extreme situation. This also occurs as a result of retraining of specialists for the operation of other aircraft models, the lack of joint crew trainings on simulators. Indicative is the fact that in the documents of the Interstate Aviation Committee, as a rule, there is also data on the successful previous certification of the flight and ground personnel, whose actions caused the accident. In the context of a shortage of personnel in private and regional airlines, unfortunately, it is necessary to state the fact that obtaining documents confirming the competence of pilots is usually a result of the corruption schemes. It is necessary to legislatively consolidate for transport workers’ training the necessity of team training methods using virtual reality (VR), which will bring the work of the team as close as possible to various extreme situations, allow them to ‘feather in’, and also prevent corruption in assessing competencies and obtaining admission to transport activities (in particular, permission to fly).
