Cargo Securing During Transport Depending on the Type of a Road

Abstract

The article is concerned with the evaluation of a transport experiment conducted in the Czech Republic in order to prove the inappropriateness of the input data used for the purpose of cargo securing in vehicles. For the experiment, a TATRA truck was used. In a statistical evaluation, an overview of basic statistical characteristics, including an interpretation of significant values, is provided. In the article, a model of loading is presented illustrating the problem associated with the application of average – normative – values of acceleration coefficients when calculating inertial forces acting during transport on different types of roads.
