Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation INTRODUCTION Russia is a large and cold country for which the transportation infrastructure is of vital significance. Russia has a developed system of railroads; powerful systems for gas, oil, and electricity distribution; developed air, sea, and river transport systems; and a significant road transport system, although the latter is in need of intensive work.

Third, to ensure that correct decisions are made in rapidly changing situations associated with the battle against terrorism, interactive modeling of emergency situations is needed on the basis of three-dimensional graphics and animation, multiagent systems, and virtual world technologies. Fourth, a cyberspace immune system must be created based on the analogy of biological immune systems, with special cyberagents playing the role of the white cells.

· There is no single theory of virtual worlds, but rather various and often mutually exclusive views of philosophers, cultural specialists, psychologists, sociologists, and computer specialists. · Hardware and software involved in the formation and support of computerized virtual worlds are developing rapidly without prior consideration of their capacities and the consequences of their use.

· the virtual world as an integral representation of states of consciousness · the information management channels of virtual worlds, which perform functional tasks and support the virtual world, with dynamic distribution of sensory motor resources among the various tasks being handled at a given time · the integrated systems of virtual worlds, involved with receiving and transmitting (interaction) , information computing (processing)

Integrated processing of all incoming Two-level management: the top level is information and interaction of separate represented by the user, who determines the subsystems are driven mainly by the basic management objectives; the second operator; that is, a person decides on an level receives the user's command, analyzes action to be taken after receiving and it under specific application conditions, and processing a variety of multiparametric selects and performs the appropriate information. function, taking into account available resources; that is, the user goes from coordinating system operations and categorizing information to giving the management system commands that it dynamically redistributes as it handles the command.

Petersburg, which has a multitude of problems.5 Resolution of the problem of external control of means of transportation in emergencies involves the following elements: · detection of an emergency situation on an aircraft · decision to implement external control · removal of control capabilities from cabin and institution of external control -- a problem of onboard equipment · operation of dispatch center where external control commands are processed · placement of aircraft in multiuser virtual-world mode for flight coordination · landing of aircraft in external control mode

They have great creative potential and experience and have done much previous scientific and engineering work in aircraft design, testing, and operation; design and operation of onboard equipment and software for use aboard civilian and military aircraft; systematic development of failure-resistant and fail-safe onboard equipment, such as ergatic (manmachine) systems; development and operation of imitation and seminatural model displays; certification of aircraft, equipment, and software; and operation of flight control systems.
