“…Road freight transport is more timely if two-man crew is used for transport, but this increases costs and is not even viable due to the lack of road freight drivers over 3.5 tonnes in EU countries. On the other hand, the prohibition of taking a regular driver's cabin rest period in the EU countries, which aff ects the planning and execution of carriage operations, in particular by one driver, reduces the benefi ts of road freight transport [25]. Unfortunately, when planning, some logistics companies do not take into account the requirements for the mode of work of a freight driver, which is increasingly tightly controlled, particularly in EU Member States.…”

In most cases, the availability of seaports is declared through availability isochrones based on the distance determined by the beeline, what is a very simplifi ed manner of determining the availability of seaports and presenting their benefi ts to customers. Therefore, the paper aimed to determine the availability of selected seaports in Europe on the basis of the proposed methodology using a professional route planner for road freight and distance directory managed by UIC (International Union Railways) for rail freight. The intermodal transport terminal in Žilina, Slovakia and eight seaports from seven European countries were selected to verify the proposed methodology for the assessment of time availability. Time availability is one of the key factors in the choice of mode of transport by carriers and also for the use of seaports. The scientifi c benefi ts are in the design of the methodology and its application to real conditions with the evaluation of outputs for the individual transport route. The contribution also assessed the impact of other factors aff ecting the observance of planned transport times in rail and road freight transport. Sažetak U većini slučajeva raspoloživost morskih luka objavljuje se s pomoću izokrona raspoloživosti koji se temelje na udaljenosti prema najkraćoj putanji, a to je pojednostavljen način određivanja raspoloživosti morskih luka i prezentiranja njihovih prednosti klijentima. Stoga je cilj ovoga rada bio utvrditi raspoloživost odabranih morskih luka u Europi na osnovi predložene metodologije uporabom profesionalnog planera rute za cestovni prijevoz i priručnik s izračunatim udaljenostima koji vodi UIC (Međunarodna željeznička unija). Intermodalni prijevozni terminal u Žilini (Slovačka) i osam morskih luka u sedam europskih država odabran je kako bi se provjerila predložena metodologija za utvrđivanje vremenske raspoloživosti. Vremenska raspoloživost jedan je od ključnih čimbenika u odabiru načina prijevoza od strane prijevoznika te za odabir morske luke. Znanstveni doprinos rada očituje se u izradi metodologije i njezinoj primjeni u stvarnim uvjetima, uz procjenu učinaka za pojedinu transportnu rutu. Doprinos također predstavlja procjena utjecaja drugih čimbenika koji utječu na praćenje planiranog vremena za željeznički ili cestovni prijevoz.

“…From this article, the danger of drunk driving is evident. However, it is also clear from many other studies [65][66][67][68]. In terms of statistics, we have pointed out that the basic characteristics (median, mode, arithmetic mean, or standard deviation) are insufficient in similar research.…”

This article evaluates the driver’s reaction times in a driving simulator environment. The research focused mainly on young drivers under the age of 26, who cause many accidents. Each participating driver provided basic information later used for mathematical-statistical analysis. The main advantage of driving simulators is limitless usage. It is possible to simulate situations that would be unacceptable in real road traffic. Therefore, this study is also able to examine drunk driving. The main goal of the article is to evaluate if gender, practice, or alcohol significantly affected the reaction time of 30 drivers. We also focused on drinking before driving for a smaller number of the drivers; ten of them performed driving under the influence of alcohol. For these mathematical-statistical purposes, we used a one-sample t-test, a paired-samples t-test, an independent-sample t-test, and a correlation analysis together with the assessment of its statistical significance.

“…Road logistics has strong mobility and can be started, loaded, unloaded, and dispatched at any time, and there are few links between various transportation links. In addition, road transportation is suitable for the transportation of emergency and small quantities of goods, and plays a pivotal role in rescue and military transportation [12].…”

Due to the rapid development of the logistics industry, the business volume of the road transportation industry is also growing rapidly and its transportation costs are also increasing. Therefore, it is particularly important to control the transportation cost. This paper aims to evaluate and analyze the cost management of road logistics transportation based on the optimal solution of linear programming. This paper introduces the basic concept of highway logistics in general and analyzes its components and characteristics. Road logistics transportation has the characteristics of fast speed, low investment, strong flexibility, and easy to adapt to local conditions and does not require much infrastructure. We then analyzed the general linear programming model, made a brief introduction to its mathematical model, and proposed the construction of the optimization model to explore the transportation model of production and sales balance. Finally, taking W logistics company as a case to analyze and discuss, the influence of the transportation route in transit on the transportation cost is studied. And its structure and the corresponding transportation cost of logistics enterprises are analyzed in detail. The experimental results of this paper show that by comparing the calculation results of the road segment method and the linear programming model, the total freight calculated by the segment method is 5610 yuan, while the total freight calculated by the linear programming method is 5490 yuan. Comparing the piecewise methods, it can be found that the linear programming method is more economical in transportation cost than the piecewise method. Therefore, when logistics companies optimize road transportation costs, it is more feasible and effective to use linear programming methods.
