INFLUENCE OF PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL FACTORS OF ETHICAL RELATIONSHIP OF DRIVERS ON THE EFFICIENCY OF THE FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION IN INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC

The impact of the psychophysiological factors of ethical relationships on the efficiency of cargo transportation has been considered. In the face of increasing tension on the roads, issues of compliance with the drivers’ professional ethics, which are a set of moral norms, that determine a person’s attitude to his professional duty, become relevant. The main problems of international transportation are inefficient communications, the causes of which are the following: psychophysiological features of drivers’ work; lack of communication skills among drivers; lack of an international ethical code of conduct for drivers. It is necessary to take into account the effect of a set of factors, that determine the psychophysiological state of drivers at different stages of the transportation process: first, highlight the factors, that determine the performance of the driver before the trip; secondly, the factors determining road safety. The general performance of the driver during transportation is determined by the psychophysiological features of the drivers’ labor in the process of driving, which, in turn, are predetermined by it's operation as part of the driver-car-road-environment system. This fact predefines the need to raise at the state level the issue of the development and implementation of the Ethical code of conduct for the driver, which will take into account national behavioral patterns and regulatory documents, governing road traffic in different states.
