In the context of traffic safety, the interplay between the road environment and the human factor emerges asa critical determinant of the severity of road crash consequences. This study was designed to explore the perceptionsof professional drivers regarding the road environment, with a particular focus on the elements that either contributeto or m...

In today's digital age, new technological tools are increasingly becoming an indispensable part of the educational process, particularly in educating children. The development of technology, including tablet computers, and mobile phones, offers numerous opportunities for enhancing teaching methods and fostering children's development. These technol...

We make about 1,400 decisions in one hour of the day, which makes about 35,000 decisions in 24 hours. The driver's task in traffic is to assess traffic situations and act in accordance with their decisions in traffic. One of the most common causes of traffic accidents is "misjudgment of road users". The perception of space is one of the prerequisit...

The driver’s task in traffic is to evaluate traffic situations and act in accordance with the estimate. One of the most common causes of road crashes is “incorrect estimated of the traffic situation”. Correct perception of surroundings is one of the prerequisites for safe and successful driving. To investigate the mentioned issue, the authors of th...

Recent years have witnessed an increasing number of electric bicycles on the roads and a rise in the number of road crashes involving e-bicyclists. There are various causes of road crashes involving e-bicyclists. Out of the total number of fatalities in traffic, bicyclists account for 9% in the Republic of Serbia. Road crashes occurring when motor...

Previous research in the world, as well as in the Republic of Serbia, was aimed at researching the impact of (not) using daytime running lights, in passenger vehicles, on traffic safety. Research on the impact of the (non) use of daytime running lights by motorcycles on traffic safety has been scarce. Bearing the above in mind, as well as the fact...

Motorcycles are the most common type of vehicle involved in traffic deaths, especially in underdeveloped and developing countries. In order to prevent traffic accidents involving motorcyclists, one of the measures is to respect the “see and be seen” rule. If a motorcycle is perceived in time or another motorcyclist is spotted in time, there is enou...

The paper analyzes the ergonomic aspects of e-bicycle transport considering it from two aspects: the development of cycling in the function of passenger transport, as well as in the function of goods transport in urban city areas. Based on the analyzed ergonomic aspects of e-bicycle transport, it is possible to come to conclusions related to the pl...

Logistic center’s location for goods distribution in Republic of Srpska can be asserted on many parameters from whom two has vital importance: geographical position and size of traffic flow. Special significance of these center’s are logistical diversity, especially where different branches of traffics are involved. Starting factors for developing...

The appearance of the COVID-19 virus in Europe, at the beginning of 2020, brought many challenges and changes to society. These changes affected the behavior, desires, and needs of passengers in vehicles. The change in passenger behavior has contributed to the more difficult organization of passenger transport and traffic management. For these reas...

A process of a vehicle steering system failure usually starts with the failure of a cuff as its protective element. It is assumed that external factors, primarily the circumstances and the outside temperature in which a vehicle is used, affect the service life of a cuff. This paper presents the research of the outside temperatures impact on remaini...

The increase in the number of electric bicycles worldwide has resulted in a rise in the number of traffic accidents involving e-bicyclists. Previous studies have been based on analyzing the use, advantages and disadvantages of e-bicycles, whereas only a small number of studies have been focused on analyzing the e-bicycle traffic safety, particularl...

This paper presents the results of a survey of respondents' attitudes related to the delivery of goods, ordered online, by courier services, in the period before and during the epidemic of the COVID-19 virus. The aim of the study was to analyze the attitudes of users to assess whether there were changes in attitudes during the epidemic of the COVID...

Delivery of goods in cities is a basic precondition for the life and work of the population. Delivery of goods „from door to door” results in an increase in the number of freight and small delivery vehicles. The problem that arises as a result of an increase in the number of vehicles is, among others, the threat to road safety. The paper analyzes t...

Urban environments depend on the efficiency of logistics activities, which due to several negative impacts are not desirable in cities. Researchers are paying increasing attention to the development of environmentally friendly logistics systems, by applying electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, cargo trams, and other vehicles to alternative propulsio...

The steering system represents one of the most important systems of active safety in vehicles. The process of a steering system failure usually starts with the failure of its protective element (cuff). Numerous factors influence a cuff’s lifespan, but the research subject of this paper is the impact of ambient temperature. The goal of this research...

The system of public urban transport of passengers should ensure the flow of people, goods and services in urban areas, occupying a special place in the city system and significantly affecting the sustainability of the city. Efficient organization and management of the system is not possible without proper information. An indispensable part of ever...

Governments of the EU countries—motivated reduction of fosile fuels use and by long-term targets for climate change mitigation—have set goals to increase electric vehicles’market share in future. In support of these goals, governments of some countries have enacted direct subsidies, fiscal incentives, and regulatory policy to help growth the share...

High average ages of passenger cars in developing countries have negative environmental impacts on human health and the environment, as well as on higher energy consumption due to higher specific fuel consumption. This paper presents a comparative analysis of the passenger car fleet in Montenegro with EU members, with an analysis of the dynamics of...

This paper analyses the impact of the selected parameters: operating mode, design parameters and condition of power transmission system onto the dynamic load of some on its components. Apart from analytical considerations, we also offer the experimental results related to the influence of the operating mode parameters and the condition of power tra...

As a complex technical system, a vehicle requires a full analysis of its dynamic behaviour. A vehicle is the research subject requiring a detailed analysis of all separate systems both individually and in mutual interaction. One of the technical aspects of vehicle analysis is the lifespan of each element. This paper presents an analysis of the impa...

This paper deals with the impact of load on motor vehicle transmission system, represented in the form of elasto-inertial torsion model with clearance in-between element connexion. The elasto-inertial transmission model includes external exciting activities originating from the drive engine and surface friction. We have also defined the elastic con...

This paper deals with technical regulations in the area of vehicle type approval, and conditions for importing passenger vehicles. The territory analyzed comprises the region of Southeast Europe, that is, all former Yugoslav republics, with the addition of Albania. The paper is based on two key, parallel systems which define the conditions and crit...

The relative environmental impact of vehicles is still uncertain, particularly in countries like Montenegro, where increase of number of vehicles was over 100% in last 5 years. This paper reports on regulated and non-regulated emission measurements for 1980-2001 year model gasoline engine powered vehicles of different manufacturers, and their contr...
