Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

There is currently a rapid development in automotive technology and road infrastructure systems aimed at reducing the risk of accidents or their severity. Intelligent transport systems contribute to increasing the mobility of societies and the quality of transport services, which in turn translates into positive economic effects, a reduced environmental impact, and improved road safety. Active and passive safety systems in vehicles are technologically advanced electronic devices and systems that prevent traffic incidents and provide maximum possible protection for the driver and passengers.

It is important to develop and exchange knowledge on contemporary problems of vehicle safety, vehicle–human–road interactions, and methods of road accident analysis. This Special Issue provides an opportunity to present the latest developments that address current and future challenges in vehicle and road safety. Topics relevant to this Special Issue include:

  • Automotive safety systems;
  • Intelligent transport infrastructure systems and their impact on improving road safety;
  • Road accidents—causes, effects, prevention methods;
  • Ecological safety.

Mobile phones accompany us in every area of life and at the same time keep us busy while performing other basic activities such as running, cycling, driving or walking in traffic. The problem of using cell phones while driving is of interest to many scientists around the world. This offense is severely punished in many countries. The problem of using mobile phones in moving vehicles has been largely resolved; however, there is a visible high percentage of pedestrians and cyclists who are used to checking their devices while moving in traffic. The aim of the article is to get acquainted with the issues of using mobile phones by pedestrians when crossing a pedestrian crossing and to escalate the problem. Despite the introduction of a ban on the use of mobile phones when crossing a pedestrian crossing in the Polish law on road traffic, many road users still use phones. The conducted observation shows that at least 2 out of 10 people pass through the pedestrian crossing with a mobile phone in their hand. Full article

The article presents the results of simulations using the finite element method (FEM) aimed at examining the extent of damage to the wheel rim as a result of hitting an obstacle. The obtained results can be used as comparative data during the performance of expert opinions to give an answer as to how the damage occurred. The data obtained from the FEM simulation can also be used in the process of geometric optimization of the rim, which aims to obtain a rim resistant to this type of damage. Full article

The primary goal of this research was to study transmission loss and absorption of fluted PVC panels using experimental and theoretical methods. During these studies, the link between panel size, thickness, transmission loss, and absorption was considered. We measured the transmission loss and absorption in reverberation rooms according to ISO standards. Hansen’s theoretical model was also used to predict the transmission loss. Agreement between TL prediction according to Hansen’s model and measured results for some of the studied panels were observed. However, the analytical prediction, according to Hansen’s model, for heavy fluted PVC panels must be used with caution. The absorption properties of the studied fluted PVC panels are also connected with their resonance, and, in addition, the resonance frequency is associated with the space between the ribs and wave propagation in the panel’s plane.

The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of the categories of bus downtime caused by the necessity of their repair on the availability indicator. A retrospective study covering 12 years of bus operation was carried using the selected municipal transport company as an example. The share of the selected categories of downtime in the total time of vehicle downtime was analyzed. The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was used for the analysis. The research covered seven makes and types of buses and six categories of downtime. A ranking of the downtime categories was developed according to the criterion of the statistical dispersion of stoppage time as a measure of their unpredictability. It was shown that categorized unavailability was strongly dependent on the rank of downtime and loosely dependent on the age of buses. In practical applications, the test results may be useful in improving the fleet maintenance processes, selecting the make of new buses or development of models for safety margin availability.
