Results of assessing work capacity and fatigue levels of air traffic control dispatchers during their professional activities

Abstract

The article analyzes scientific research conducted by foreign, local, and CIS scientists and specialists on
improving occupational safety for operator-dispatchers working in various economic sectors. Based on
the research results, legal, organizational-technical, and sanitary-hygienic measures aimed at improving
the working conditions of air traffic controllers have been proposed. However, it has been determined
that the impact levels of production environment factors and work process factors on air traffic controllers
operating within the air traffic control service have not been sufficiently studied. Furthermore, specific
methods, technical means, and practical-technological solutions aimed at reducing these factors have not
been developed. Within the scope of the research, changes in fatigue levels and work performance of air
traffic controllers throughout their work shifts were quantified in percentage values using the integral
scoring assessment method.
