Modeling of Transportation Aviation Processes

This book presents the fundamental methods of modeling, analysis and synthesis of transport processes which allow:

- to optimize the work of transport organizations according to different criteria of their functioning;

- to evaluate the quality of decisions made in conditions of high entropy and uncertainty of technological processes when applying new technologies and systems;

-to reduce the negative impact of the human factor on the safety of ongoing transport processes by increasing the motivational component of the training processes for the operator of active transport systems.

The structural diagrams presented in this book make it possible to visualize the processes of training, self-training of operators and the mechanisms of the formation of volitional motivational efforts under various external influences of the environment and the teacher-instructor. The obtained functional dependencies serve as an assessment for determining and forming the dynamics of motivation and making a decision about the readiness for safe work of the operator of active transport systems and the decision-maker in the new conditions of the technological process.
