Abstract
This article deals with the issue of safety within the road freight transport sector with regards to the securing of cargo on a vehicle. The first part of the article focuses on the legal framework that regulates this issue in the Czech Republic. The second part is based on a case study and survey conducted among drivers of the road freight transport vehicles into their awareness of what they understand is meant by securing and secure cargo. The case study was carried out in a specific transport company and includes an analysis of the current situation and concrete measures for improving safety while securing timber for transport.
Highlights
Automotive manufacturers are currently trying to implement autonomous driving (ADV) technology
As a result of the driver’s brain activity experiment, it was concluded that the bioelectric signals (BESs) with frequencies of up to 50 Hz and amplitudes of several mV, caused by muscle tension in the head, e.g. pressing the tongue against the palate or clenching of jaws with a bigger or smaller force, provides the best effects of the position control signals of the pneumatic actuator generation, that presses on the secondary foot brake pedal
The designed control system consists of devices for reading the bioelectric signals, analysing and decoding them into the control signals, as well as amplifying, transforming and wireless transmission of the control signals to the position controller of the pneumatic actuator
Summary
Automotive manufacturers are currently trying to implement autonomous driving (ADV) technology. The purpose of various studies is to use the brain (mind) in vehicle control systems or their particular mechanisms Particular solutions, such as a brain-controlled car for people with disabilities, are being considered. The papers [14,15,16,17] presents the results of research on the reaction time of drivers of motor vehicles in case of accident risk These tests have been conducted on the driving simulator. An innovative solution, involving use of the brain-controlled pneumatic cylinder to exert the pressure force on the foot brake pedal in the car, for a disabled driver during the emergency braking, was proposed. Brain support for driving systems such as automatic navigation systems, automatic speed control mechanisms, traffic signals and signboard detection and automatic car starting mechanism will be analysed
