ABSTRACT
It was developed and implemented the technique for investigation of psychophysiological important qualities (PPIQ) of rail drivers in conditions of locomotive depots. That technique was realized as a software tool to measure psychophysiological indices that were compared with normative ones. Measure and analysis of rail drivers’ PPIQs have revealed reliable differences between drivers and engine-driver's mates on each traction types (diesel and electric locomotives), as well as between drivers of the same traction at different depots. Such a result should be taking into account when designing and use initial professional selection of rail drivers, because could lead to higher risk of unreliable drivers work who do not meet requirements of occupation.
