DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONCEPT OF AN INTELLIGENT SYSTEM FOR ASSESSING THE OCCUPATIONAL RISK OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS

Abstract

This article examines the occupational risks faced by air traffic controllers, specifically focusing on how their psycho-emotional state and fatigue affect work efficiency and air traffic safety. The study highlights the necessity of monitoring the mental health of controllers as a central factor in minimizing errors and ensuring the consistent operation of aviation services. A concept for an intelligent system to assess occupational risk is proposed, which entails analyzing the fatigue and mental health levels of controllers through hybrid models and expert methodologies. Developing such a system will enable the prompt identification of potentially hazardous conditions and the optimization of work shifts, thereby alleviating stress and fatigue among controllers. The findings of this work can be utilized to enhance training programs, improve workload management for air traffic controllers, and elevate aviation safety standards in future research.
