Attention was paid to the division of coupling devices of motor vehicles and trailers into classes according to Regulation 55 of the UN/ECE and the resulting requirements. The principles according to which it should be accepted that couplings meet the approval requirements are discussed, and the meaning and way equipment manufacturers determine the characteristic values of the indicated coupling parameters are explained. Requirements for the minimum and maximum loads exerted by the trailer on the coupling device are presented. Particular attention was paid to the existing technical solutions (including patent claims in the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland or in the European Patent Office) regarding coupling devices characterized by the possibility of measuring the static vertical force on the coupling and couplings with vertical flexibility (compliance), which can potentially reduce dynamic loads on the coupling device. Calculations focused on two practical applications are planned using the article's content and simulation. The first is the ability to assess the impact of introducing vertical compliance to the coupling device on its durability. The second is the ability to assess the impact of the value of the static vertical load of the coupling device (resulting from the trailer load and the longitudinal position of its center of mass) on the length of the braking distance of the combination: towing vehicle - trailer.","PeriodicalId":150174,"journal":{"name":"WUT Journal of Transportation Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141412773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a factor enhancing the development of many areas of life, including tourist travel. A characteristic feature of tourism is the movement of people to places of attractive value. Therefore, transport is necessary for its existence. The tourist industry has been severely affected by the spread of COVID-19. The crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic has weakened the condition of the tourist services sector and affected transport. The article aims to reveal the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the transport sector concerning changes in tourist transport passengers. Data on tourist traffic in Poland was used in this publication. It has been shown that the weakening of tourism significantly translated into changes in the number of passengers traveling. The decrease in the number of people transported mainly affected air and road transport; however, more minor differences were observed in transport based on rail, sea, and inland waterways. The decrease in the number of recorded tourist trips was reflected in the shares of individual transport modes in passenger transport. In response to the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, travelers' preferences changed regarding their means of transport. Since mid-2021, tourism has been returning to the path of positive development, noticeable in domestic and foreign travel.","PeriodicalId":150174,"journal":{"name":"WUT Journal of Transportation Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141231348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This also applies to all types of packaging. A conflict arises here between manufacturers and carriers. Producers will try to reduce the costs of collective packaging as much as possible (this packaging does not affect customers’ purchasing decisions), while for transport operations, this packaging will determine the safety and quality of transported cargo. Preparing the load for transport - properly selected packaging (its shape, resistance to pressure, etc.), and above all, the proper way of forming and securing PSU (pallet load units) is a very important issue for the manufacturer/sender (as the first link in the distribution chain). It has a huge impact on the formation of cargo damage during its transport. As part of the research conducted by the authors in the area of optimization of cargo securing costs and minimization of cargo damage, the lack of a systemic approach to the problem of cargo damage in road transport was observed. The article discusses the causes of damage to palletized loads during road transport and illustrates some of these damages. Identification of the causes of damage made it possible to classify damage to palletized loads, and in the future, it will allow the development of ways to limit them, the so-called good practices for securing palletized loads.","PeriodicalId":150174,"journal":{"name":"WUT Journal of Transportation Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138624717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Poland, there are more than 3 million people with disabilities who have legal proof of disability. In reality, there are many more - from 4 to as many as 7 million. Thus, there is a need to actively include this group of people in social life, including in the area of public transportation. This work aims to present issues related to the accessibility of integrated interchanges for people with special needs. The work also points to a key issue for transport system managers related to and aggregation of knowledge necessary to implement the changes in transport infrastructure. Information about the needs of people with disabilities is, in turn, a prerequisite for proper universal design, which is already becoming noticeable in many areas of social and economic life. As technology evolves, so do the methods of obtaining information about the needs of people with disabilities. The difficulty here, however, is to develop tools that take into account the degree of disability of the specific people from whom we would like to obtain information. The authors in the paper justify, on the one hand, measures that aim to eliminate the difficulties that a person with special needs may encounter when traveling by various means of transportation, and on the other hand, point to certain solutions and tools that are used to acquire knowledge that will consequently allow the precise adaptation of the current infrastructure to the needs precisely defined by these people. The aggregation of knowledge also has additional significance in terms of increasing transportation accessibility for people with disabilities. It enables the informed design of new facilities and supporting infrastructure to take into account the changing needs of people with disabilities.","PeriodicalId":150174,"journal":{"name":"WUT Journal of Transportation Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138624864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Integrating manned and unmanned aviation is necessary to ensure an appropriate level of safety and the sustainable development of the unmanned aerial vehicle industry. Therefore, an amendment to the Polish aviation law has been prepared. It includes the effective EU regulations on UAS, which have been applied directly since the beginning of 2021. EU law, however, requires more details in many aspects. Specifying EU solutions will allow for a more effective impact of the regulations on UAS users and aviation authorities and the achievement of the assumed goals of the proposed changes. The article presents the reasons for the introduced changes, the outline and essence of EU regulatory solutions, and elements of national solutions. The proposed changes to the Aviation Law, the PANSA Act of December 8, 2006, and April 13, 2016, Act on compliance assessment and market surveillance systems were presented. The most important thing is the additional Section VIa - Unmanned Aerial Vehicles added to the Aviation Law. The article covers the content of six chapters, additional provisions, penal provisions, and new charges for geographic zones. The proposed amendments to the PANSA Act related to new obligations for the Agency are also presented.

Following the International Civil Aviation Organization, the continuous hazard identification process allows the safety level in civil aviation to be reduced and maintained at an acceptable level or below that level. For hazard detection to be a systemic process, tools are needed to achieve this goal. The main stages of formulating hazards are task assessment, description of hazards, and description of causes. The description of hazards should be prepared based on information about the hazard sources. Brainstorming, engineering knowledge, or checklists can be used to obtain information about the hazard sources in a selected area. Checklists for the areas of analysis are a frequently used tool to identify hazard sources. The safety of air operations begins at the airport and apron. That is why assessing the risk at ground handling workstations is so essential. After analyzing the regulations on the safety of ground handling workers in terms of safety and occupational health and safety, many issues remain unregulated. Ground handling workers are an essential link affecting the safety of air operations. It is important that when starting the performance of their duties, employees are adequately trained, equipped with the necessary tools, and have a good level of well-being so that an accident does not occur. A checklist was developed to determine whether the employee has the appropriate equipment, is adequately trained, and whether his mental and physical health condition allows him to perform his duties. Forms were proposed for the airport equipment operator, airport apron worker, and operations coordination specialist. Declaring a response to the hazard allows the decision on whether or not to allow an employee to work.","PeriodicalId":150174,"journal":{"name":"WUT Journal of Transportation Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114496016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
