W artykule przedstawiono najważniejsze aspekty zmian w systemie szkolenia i egzaminowania kandydatów na maszynistów i maszynistów, które wejdą w życie z dniem 1 stycznia 2023 r. W pierwszej kolejności scharakteryzowano obowiązujący obecnie w Polsce system oraz wskazano jego podstawowe wady. Następnie opisano zakres zmian prawnych wynikających z nowelizacji Ustawy o transporcie kolejowym, które doprowadzą do rozdzielenia procesów szkolenia oraz egzaminowania, a w efekcie do poprawy efektywności tych procesów. W artykule przybliżono również zakres działania tworzonego obecnie Centrum Egzaminowania i Monitorowania Maszynistów, które będzie funkcjonowało przy Urzędzie Transportu Kolejowego i zostanie wyposażone w nowoczesne symulatory.

The article presents the most important aspects of changes in the training and examination system for candidates for train drivers and train drivers, which will enter into force on January 1, 2023. First, the system currently in force in Poland is characterized and its basic disadvantages are indicated. Then, the scope of legal changes resulting from the amendment to the Act on Rail Transport is described, which will lead to the separation of training and examination processes, and, as a result, to improvement of the efficiency of these processes. The article also presents the scope of activities of the currently built Center for Examination and Monitoring of Train Drivers, which will function at The Office of Rail Transport and will be equipped with modern simulators.
The issue of managing the risk associated with introducing changes to the railway system is very important from the point of view of safety management, as any change can significantly reduce the level of safety of a railway system. For this reason, such changes are regulated at the European Union (EU) level through a dedicated legal act known as the Common Safety Method for risk assessment (CSM). The example presented in this paper is a portion of the analysis carried out for an Estonian freight carrier with a bowtie method, which we improved so that it fully complies with the CSM requirements. This analysis concerns a change consisting of allowing the possibility of a freight train being driven by one person (with no assistant driver). The case study presented in the paper, although limited due to confidentially issues, allows a full description of how to use the proposed method in real-world applications.

Prezes Urzędu Transportu Kolejowego jest organem administracji publicznej, którego wpływ na gospodarkę można ocenić jako ponadprzeciętny. Autor podjął próbę analizy i deskrypcji problematyki związanej z relacją Prezes Urzędu Transportu Kolejowego - podmioty lecznicze uprawnione do badań maszynistów oraz kandydatów na maszynistów. Treść artykułu skupia się na funkcji nadzorczej Prezesa UTK nad tymi podmiotami. Poruszona została także tematyka spójności regulacji dotyczących transportu kolejowego z obowiązującym kształtem ustawy o działalności leczniczej, będącej podstawowym aktem prawnym regulującym działalność podmiotów leczniczych. Przedstawione zostało także aktualne zestawienie uprawnionych podmiotów wraz z umotywowanym stanowiskiem przewidującym wzrost ich liczby w niedalekiej przyszłości.

The President of the Office of Rail Transport is a pubic authority exerting an above-average impact on the economy. The author has attempted to analyze and describe the issue of the relation between the President of the Office of Rail Transport and medical entities authorized to examine train drivers and candidates. The article is focused on the oversight function of the President of the ORT in respect of such entities. The issue is also addressed of cohesion of regulations concerning rail transport and the Medical Activities Act. The current group of authorized entities is presented, as well as arguments supporting predicted growth in their number in the near future.
Level crossing is an element of the transport infrastructure of a particular type. This is where streams of regulated and unregulated traffic interact. Vehicles of regulated, rail traffic affect on unregulated, road traffic vehicles. This process takes place over a relatively small area. But the associated processes are concerned with long distances and medium speeds. Importantly, the impact may be mutual (mainly on level crossing cat. D). Consequently, a number of diverse problems can be observed at level crossings as well as in their direct vicinity. One of them is very particular, since its intensity and scale are significantly higher compared to other points of the transport network. This is a problem of how the sight organs of a rail vehicle driver function. At level crossings, a rail vehicle driver is incapable of registering all events connected with moving objects in a horizontal plane of the field of view (often, dozens or hundreds of vehicles and pedestrians, rail vehicles, signs etc.). Especially in agglomeration areas, near the railway stations, people may violently trespass into the tracks. Before reaching a level crossing, the driver’s sight organs perform specific movements of variable dynamics, having a direct impact on the traffic safety. Given the context in question, the article discusses the methods used to measure the characteristics of the train driver’s sight organs by means of eye tracking devices. The measured characteristics are: saccadic movements, fixation point locations, blinking etc. The relevant studies were supported by using additional equipment and techniques, including visual and vibroacoustic ones. These studies have been illustrated with reference to the measurements performed in different sections of the railway network. The aim of the research was to analyse the behaviour of drivers of traction vehicles. The research results have been discussed in quantitative terms, thus introducing several new descriptive characteristics. The data thus obtained, e.g. concerning the functions of the driver’s sight organs, have been analysed using numerical data set characteristics. With regard to the context this article the authors also conduct research addresses measurements of the characteristics of the road vehicle driver’s sight organs performed by means of eye tracking devices.
