METHODS OF CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT OF COMPLEX TRANSPORT SITUATIONS DUE TO VIOLATION OF THE ALLOWABLE LOAD CAPACITY OF THE VEHICLE WHEN TRANSPORTING GRAIN

Abstract

Carrying out important transport operations, such as the transportation of cargo – grain mass, requires increased attention. This is associated with a large number of abuses by vehicle drivers, which then negatively affects various aspects. Such violations include, mainly, exceeding the permissible total weight of the vehicle. Such mass is obviously defined as the total mass of the vehicle or road train and the mass of the cargo being transported. Situations of checking the mass of freight vehicles involved, including grain transportation, by mobile weighing control points are becoming widely publicized. The popularization of such situations is due to the imposition of fines on cargo carriers. As a result, such situations are complicated by the possible unloading of grain on the roadway or on the side of the road. The complication of such situations entails not only the violation of rules and norms regarding the transportation of cargo, but also the pollution of certain areas of the roadway, which also entails responsibility. This paper examines the movement of freight vehicles in a part of the Sumy region along a rather extensive section of the road, which is connected to various agricultural enterprises, elevators, etc. In addition, the specifics of the selected area for research consists in the only possible movement on such a route, which is determined by movement on the bridge. As a result, the choice of route and means of transport for the analysis is justified. In accordance with traffic rules, requirements and norms, violations by vehicles of their own overall dimensions and permissible weight were analyzed. The consequences of such operation for both the vehicle and the road surface are presented. An analysis of the weighting along the axles of the road train when the permissible weight is exceeded was carried out. Specific examples of the operation of weight control points are presented, which control the mass of cargo transported by vehicles on specified routes.
