Abstract:In this article, the temperatures in transport of different types of perishable foodstuffs will be compared. The comparison will be made based on the evaluation of measurement data from the remote probe and compared with the temperature measured by a thermograph installed in the vehicle. The results will be compared with a tolerance listed in the individual regulations, laws and Agreement ATP (Agreement on the International Carriage of Perishable Foodstuffs and on the Special Equipment to be Used for such Carriage), which are further described in the first part of the article.

“…Another 10% of transmitted energy is lost in the gears. Thus, the vehicle will use 1208.037 MJ of energy to overcome the running resistances [10]. If we wanted the vehicle to be powered by an electric motor instead of combustion engine, the accumulators must have offer such a capacity and also provide a reserve.…”

“…We can change its position, tension and disposition therefore it is very adaptable for actual transport conditions. However, it could be the reason for increased fuel consumption of the vehicle, when we slovenly handle it (Skrucany, Sarkan, Gnap 2016; Van der Krieke, Van Raemdonck 2014; Mruzek, Gajdac, Kucera 2016; Vrábel, Jagelčák, Zamečník, Caban 2017; Sdoukopoulos, Boile, Anagnostopoulou 2015).…”

This paper due to determine an aerodynamic drag for different ways of tarpaulin fixation, specifically tarpaulin tension and disposition on platform-type body of a HDV. More positions of the tarpaulin were investigated. Determination of the resistances was done by coast down test of the vehicle according to Slovakian technical standard (STN). The aerodynamic drag was calculated from actual vehicle deceleration during the coast down test from the actual velocity changes. The vehicle actual velocity was measured by GPS logging device. Results are values of resistance, which affect the vehicle and their sum represents the actual engine power needed for vehicles driving.
