ASSESSMENT OF TRUCK PERFORMANCE

Abstract

The article evaluates the performance of freight vehicles. It is known that freight vehicles have a certain group of operational properties for determining quality. The general operational property is operability. The aim of the study is to evaluate the operability of freight vehicles under technological operating conditions. It has been determined that the operability of freight vehicles includes the ability to perform tasks in transport and technological conditions of operation according to the operating conditions and condition of freight vehicles. The management of the condition of freight vehicles is associated with maintaining their performance and ensuring reliability. Transport operating conditions imply the intensity and density of freight traffic flows during a transport and technological operation. Technological operating conditions include the intensity and density of freight traffic flows in the performance of transport and technological operations. It is substantiated that the operational properties of freight vehicles depend on the natural and climatic conditions of operation, which means the environment both in terms of terrain and atmospheric and climatic phenomena. It is concluded that for a comprehensive assessment of the mobility of freight vehicles in the vehicle-terrain system, it is possible to propose a criterion for the optimal implementation of traffic modes in terms of power balance, controllability and maneuverability in specific operating conditions. At the same time, the presented criteria and solutions to the tasks directly related to maintaining the efficiency of freight transport during operation in the technological cycle indicate the need to switch to a system for ensuring the efficient state of freight transport in specific operating conditions.
