The detailed study of transport incident circumstances is closely related to the use of specialized knowledge from various fields of transport and forensic medicine. The results of transport and technical forensic examinations depend entirely on the initial data submitted by the investigator and the court, which are established during the investigation: examinations, interrogations, experiments. The presence of this data allows the expert to draw up a reasonable conclusion. On the basis of the studied judicial, investigative and expert practice, examples of positive use of the results of forensic, transport and technical forensic examinations in the investigation of crimes committed at transport facilities are given. The role of the figurant in carrying out investigative actions is noted. The idea of adding to the Chapter 8 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation the other participant of criminal proceedings - «figurant» - is given, defining and affirming his rights and duties.
