Improving the quality of human capital in transport is closely related to the development of the ability of transport specialists to self-regulation. The training of modern, qualified transport specialists (as human capital development strategy) requires no less highly qualified teachers and managers, capable of not only managing others, but also themselves. In modern socio-cultural space, researchers pay special attention to the preservation and development of man as the highest value, the recognition and upholding of him as the highest value on earth. Such an understanding assumes the professionalism of consultative interaction with the client as a person, partner and professional, based on a detailed analysis of the characteristics and properties, processes and results of human activities. Appeal to followers in understanding the human mental life is associated with well-known methods for diagnosing and transforming the most complex internal world of a person, as well as the features, processes and results of the interaction of the internal and external worlds surrounding a person. Psychological comprehension of a person, penetration into the matrix structures of his personal, interpersonal and professional formation and development is sometimes serious difficulties, so our appeal to the psychodynamic and behavioural models of self-regulation, as well as in social and individual psychology and their methods, is dictated by these ideas. The appeal to classical conceptual constructs, in particular, modern and traditional domestic and foreign psychology, allows us to comprehend and practically develop methods and methods of immersion in the mental world of a person, his research, as well as subsequent transformation and development.
