The probability of death or serious injury in an accident with a road vehicle involved is almost 50% higher compared to other accidents due to the large size and mass of the vehicles involved, as well as due to the fact the driver who fell asleep cannot undertake braking or motion to a side , to avoid a collision or abate an impact. Although it is impossible to calculate the exact number of fatigue-related crashes, studies show that driver fatigue may be a contributing factor in about 20% of all traffic crashes and approximately 25% of all fatal and serious injury crashes. In order to reduce the number of road accidents by means preventing the driving by tired drivers of com-mercial vehicles with a gross weight of more than 3.5 ton, as well as those that carry more than 9 people in the pro-cess of road transportation, tachograph systems have been implemented in many countries. The major documents implementing the tachograph systems (depending on the country) are Regulation (EC) No. 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council or the European agreement concerning the work of crews of vehicles engaged in international road transport (AETR). In order to contribute to the improvement of the level of safety during the internal road transportation of passengers and cargo, Ukraine, in accordance with the Association Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and Ukraine, of the other part, has undertaken to implement the requirements of the Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3821/85 and Regulation (EC) No. 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council in the legislative and regulatory acts of Ukraine. When implementing the requirements of the aforementioned Regulations into the legislative and regulatory acts of Ukraine, it is necessary to take into account the recent changes to the specified documents, as well as the introduc-tion into the EU legislation of associate documents that are directly related to the aforementioned Regulations. Keywords: road safety, tachograph system.
The practical aspects of the establishment of conformity assessment bodies (OOV) on the basis of SE “DerzhautotransNDIproject” (SRTRI) are described, which are accredited for compliance with the requirements of DSTU EN ISO/IEC 17020, DSTU EN ISO/IEC 17025, use unified documents of management systems, have developed and implemented scientific developments that provide an opportunity to ensure the application in the activities of the OOV: – methods and programs for automated selection and justification of inter-calibration intervals of measuring equipment and test equipment with measuring functions; – the widest range of rules, correctly substantiated by certain calculations, regarding the decision on whether the object of evaluation meets the established requirements; – methods for practical calculation of measurement uncertainty under any conditions (one-time measure-ment, lack of part of necessary input data, etc.). Keywords: accreditation, certificate of accreditation, testing, testing laboratory (TL), testing center of wheeled vehicles (TC KTZ), inspection, National Accreditation Agency of Ukraine (NAAU), inspection body (IO), con-formity assessment body (OOV), state technical inspection, wheeled vehicles (KTZ), management system (SM).
Analysis of normative-and-legal documents related to calibration of measuring devices and testing equipment was conducted; a methodology with an example of calculating between-calibration period was proposed; some issues of its optimisation were considered. Keywords: calibration, between-calibration period, methodology, calculation, determination.
The results of the work of the UNECE ITC on the development of the SafeFITS tool were reviewed, the indicators proposed in the framework of this tool for assessing the effectiveness of making management decisions in order to ensure road safety were analyzed and the possibility and relevance of its application in Ukraine were considered. Keywords: road safety, road traffic incident, road traffic fatalities and injuries, road safety performance indicators (RSPI), road safety management system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
