Pedestrians and cyclists are the most vulnerable road users, especially in urban areas – this is largely due to their high traffic intensity during morning and evening rush hours, as well as significant differences between these users and vehicles. These differences are related to both the degree of protection and speed characteristics. Comparison of these factors largely explains ...

Accident rate is one of the most significant losses in road traffic, as it affects each of the road users. Therefore, in order to reduce its level, it is necessary to develop a modern method of accident prediction, which would allow to accurately estimate the number of accidents and the severity of consequences not only by experimental data and survey results, but also by modelling ...

This paper presents selected problems connected with automation of procedures involved in assessment of machine degradation degree using vibration method with special emphasis on the machine state prognosis. The current knowledge of these problems is not sufficient and needs further research on data processing, analysis of efficiency of diagnostic and prognostic procedures, ...

The goal of the work is to increase the efficiency of intercity road transport of passengers in regular traffic by optimizing carrying capacity on the route based on taking into account the patterns of random demand for travel. Minimization of losses of carriers and passengers due to underutilization of vehicle capacity and denial of travel to passengers at a probabilistic intensity ...

The article emphasizes the importance of the organizational structure for the effective functioning of any industrial or trade organization. The organizational structure determines the speed, reliability and cost of transportation, and as a result, the competitiveness of the company as a whole. The authors present an overview of the main types of organizational structures used ...

The day-to-day practice of designing/reorganizing traffic management at a controlled intersection typically relies on the use of a traffic demand model. The selection of such a model is usually guided by considerations of the optimal balance between the complexity of the model and the significance of the effects that can be accounted for. However, in some situations, researchers ...

Torsional vibrations are observed in all mechanisms that involve rotational movement of shafts. For internal combustion engines, the problem of torsional vibrations of the crankshaft is relevant, since significant vibrations prevent its fatigue failure. In addition, torsional vibrations negatively affect engine performance, efficient fuel consumption, oil and sugar consumption, ...

In the article, the results of studies carried out during the formation logistics schemes for international transportation of export cargoes under the restrictions of the western direction for the Republic of Belarus. Research has established that the amount of freight charges for the logistics of transporting export cargo to the PRC depends on the type of shipment (the cargo can ...

The article discusses technical innovations aimed at combating driving under the influence of alcohol. The main focus is on ignition lock (IID) breathalyzers, which are already successfully used in some countries, and systems for recognizing signs of alcohol intoxication, which are under development. Legal and ethical issues related to the use of these technologies are also ...

This article discusses the relevance of using elements of an artificial intelligence (AI) to manage urban traffic flows. It studies problems solved by artificial intelligence, such as optimizing traffic signal cycles, route planning, improving road safety, improving public transportation, and developing intelligent transportation systems (ITS). This article provides an example ...
