Abstract. Significance. Deaths of locomotive crew members due to road traffic accidents are being registered at the Trans-Baikal Railway on the annual basis. Psychophysiological and professional selection does not guarantee operators absence of traffic accidents, and therefore, traffic safety on the railways.

Purpose. To find out the cause and effect relationship of the road traffic accidents among members of locomotive crews at the Trans-Baikal Railway.

Materials and methods. In 2008-2013, 7959 members of locomotive crews of the Trans-Baikal Railway were purposefully examined for risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Results. All 24 cases of the fatal road traffic accidents registered during the period under study in the sample of 7959 respondents were statistically analyzed using Statistica 6.0. by multifactor regression analysis, analysis of variance and survival analysis.

It was found out that age predictor in certain age groups had an individual independent prognostic value. Alcohol predictor potentiates the multiple negative effects of joint age predictor impact.

Conclusions. Age predictor when combined with alcohol predictor can cause disregulation movement disorders in operators due to damage to the brain stem cells.

Scope of application. The authors suggested a method to diagnose disregulation movement disorders and psychophysiological characteristics in operators aimed at improving traffic safety on the railways.

Keywords. Traffic accidents; alcohol; age; locomotive crew members
