The paper investigates the improvement of methods of time-based prioritization of public transport buses on city routes, taking into account pedestrian traffic indicators. A method of non-stop passing the stop-lines at signalized intersections and pedestrian crosswalks by buses in places of high generation of pedestrian traffic has been developed. A study was conducted at three signalized intersections and pedestrian crosswalks in Lviv city in places of high generation of pedestrian flows with dedicated lanes for public transport. Pedestrian speed of movement while crossing the roadway in such locations was studied, and the value of the speed of movement of 15% of the pedestrian flow, which potentially will not have time to cross the roadway during the time of the activated permissive signal, was found. The time parameters of extending the restrictive signal for traffic flows for the safe and unobstructed passage of pedestrian flows at the traffic light object are defined. The distance at which public transport should be located from the signalized facility to extend the restrictive signal to public transport, is also determined.

Signalized pedestrian crosswalks on urban streets are essential for ensuring the safe crossing of the roadway by pedestrians and controlling the movement of vehicles. These crosswalks allow pedestrians to cross the roadway by the set rules, providing safety and comfort to all road users. Pedestrian safety is critical to improving mobility in cities. About 15% of traffic accidents occur at signalized crosswalks. Existing traffic signal control systems are mainly aimed at road traffic, which often results in significant delays and insufficient time for pedestrians to cross. It leads to risky behavior, such as not obeying traffic rules. Current pedestrian detection systems at signalized intersections mainly consist of pedestrian controllers called “buttons”. Limitations include the inability to notify a pedestrian that he, or she has been detected and the inability to dynamically extend crossing times if pedestrians do not cross the road in time. Intelligent transport systems play an essential role in improving mobility and safety and provide innovative methods to connect pedestrians, vehicles and infrastructure. Most of the research on smart and connected technologies focuses on vehicles, but there is a need to use these technologies to study pedestrian behavior, as pedestrians are the most vulnerable participants in the transportation system. Therefore, the transport system should take into account all pedestrians and satisfy all needs. Therefore, this article aims to provide information on improving traffic signal control system at pedestrian crosswalks to make them more pedestrian-friendly without significant disruption to traffic flow. The study was carried out by modeling a pedestrian crosswalk for different combinations of pedestrians and traffic flow. This paper presents modeling results and provides recommendations for the introduction of a rational control mode at pedestrian crosswalks.

In this article the problem of ethnocultural identity formation is considered in the context of the personal development problem, namely, as a person’s awareness of oneself, one’s environment as well as of oneself in one’s relations with other people. Along with the genetically determined prerequisites, ethnocultural identity formation is influenced by sociocultural factors, a person’s real life. The ethnocultural identity phenomenon is closely related to the methodological understanding of the foundations of deep, fundamental life meanings, values, and priorities. Ethnocultural identity and everything that relates to it – roots, historical destinies, ethnic culture, historical memory – are the most important values and life meanings of every person.

As it is well known, digitalization of many aspects of modern society has become an urgent topic in the XXI century for most developed countries. The field of education is experiencing a rapid development of digitalization; distance learning is becoming one of the main forms. This impulsiveness has caused many problems, both organizational and psychological, since reality is not yet fully ready for revolutionizing teaching methods and ways of obtaining knowledge by the student audience. That is why the transformation of education into such an important social sphere requires the efforts of representatives of many scientific disciplines, including philosophers, sociologists, culturologists and psychologists. The latter, in addition to theoretical justifications, conducted also some empirical studies of the psychological adaptability of young people to new learning conditions. One of them is the proposed study, which is based on the assumption that student satisfaction with work in a distance format during the period of self-isolation depends largely on their subjective well-being.

The article deals with the problem of forming the professional identity of future psychologists, a study of the self-concept as a factor in the formation of the professional identity of future psychologists was conducted.

The article covers issues related to the professional training of students of the Humanities, their development and formation of professional culture during this training. In addition, the key problematic aspects related to the system of such education are identified, and various mechanisms for activating and involving students of the Humanities in the process of obtaining the necessary competencies are identified. The key mechanism for this activation was chosen a team-building technology, in accordance with the basic principles of which it is possible to maximize the motivational component of the process of acquiring professional competence. In addition, separate elements of the definition of “readiness” are considered, and the levels of readiness for teamwork among students of higher education are determined. The article is supplemented with a practical part in the form of the results of a survey conducted on the basis of leading universities of the Republic of Crimea in 2020. The subject of the study was to identify the General readiness of students of the Humanities to carry out team activities in order to achieve a common result. The survey was conducted in various areas: readiness to carry out collective and individual creative, project, educational, extracurricular and independent activities. The respondents were teachers of the Humanities who have extensive experience in the organization and management of educational activities in a modern University for humanities.
