Transport processes research are closely related to the economic and operational performance of road transport. During planning road transportation, the most important factor is the transport services cost. Known fact that most of the transportation costs are car fuel. The share of car fuel in the transport tariff cost can be 25-50% (depending on the working conditions of vehicles). Therefore, research that is associated with improving the vehicles efficiency by reducing variable costs is appropriate and relevant. The article presents the results of research on the planning of transport processes in the road transport performance in international road transport for the return flight and calculating methods the demand for the amount of fuel purchased in different countries with different prices. The author presents the results of theoretical and experimental research the adequacy of the mathematical model (methodology). The specified mathematical model consists in substantiation of a technique of calculation of quantity of car fuel, definition of the variable factors influencing volumes of fuel expenses, calculation of correction factors (total) received on the basis of technical and operational indicators of vehicles and the influencing factors connected with features of road transport work. . The second part of the research contains the results of the development of an algorithm development to calculate the total cost of automotive fuel, which was purchased at different prices in several countries. Thus, the main purpose of research is the task of substantiating the algorithm (mathematical model – methodology) for determining fuel costs by the criterion of the highest use of fuel in countries at the lowest prices.

In Poland, the major share of operational costs of a road carrier constitute of fuel costs, costs of outsourced services and remunerations. The mentioned cost groups together contribute to over 80% of the prime costs. As a result, these costs have a major influence on the performance of Polish road carriers. As research results show, the financial situation of the road carriers in Poland is poor. On average, the return on sales in road transport services reaches the level of 1.5–3.0%, and in case of international road transport services it amounts to 5%. In terms of acknowledged standard sit is merely a sufficient level of return. Unfortunately it is possible for the performance to deteriorate due to the implementation of minimum wage rates for drivers in some EU countries and due to the implementation of new regulations proposed on May 31st 2017 in the EU’s Mobility Package, concerning seconded workers.

This study focuses on a wide range of issues related to the effects of integration process on the development of economic relations, in particular, in the road transport services market. Special emphasis is put on the critical role of integration in contributing to building circular technological supply chains, ensuring sales coordination and management, reducing unit costs and increasing labor productivity. It is argued that the outcome of integration translates into a cohesive economic mechanism which in addition to its integrated elements is characterized by the presence of a core coordination element. The article offers a definition to a public-private partnership phenomenon, identifies its advantages and disadvantages, explores the mechanisms of public-private partnership implementation as well as suggests a toolkit to optimize the partnership functioning for integrated structures. This is a pioneering study that provides a rationale for the need to use several public-private partnership patterns simultaneously together with developing a mechanism for carrying out public-private partnership which is proposed to be consolidated into the mechanism of integrated partnership viewed as the most preferable one to be implemented in the market of road transport services. It has been verified that the integrated partnership pattern provides an opportunity to develop competitive advantages of all its participants. The research findings have enabled to make the following generalizations: the existing partnerships differ in types of arrangements and institutional support; prior to making a decision to launch a specific integrated partnership project, the mechanism of its implementation should be envisaged; to enhance the efficiency of the integrated partnership project implementation, building relevant infrastructure facilities is paramount; the prospects for further integrated partnership project operation assume the utilization of a network mechanism of public-private partnership which best meets the needs and the specifics of the road transport services market.

The features of carrying out an autotechnical expertise (ATE) are considered in case the vehicles (V) participating in the road transport accident (RTA) don’t leave skid imprints. The examples of momentum and energy conservation law application are given at developing the road accident mathematical model. Special attention is paid to the determination methods of vehicle (V) velocity, travel directions in various RTA diagrams and archeology of deformation. For this purpose it is offered to draw a momentum vector diagram. It is reasonable that for the calculation of V deformation at RTA it is necessary to determine step by step the strain-stress state in a contact area on the basis of the theories of elasticity, plasticity, solid friction and finite-element methods. The technique of constructing an RTA mathematical model is developed. It is recommended to use at ATE of RTAs at the runs-over into the fixed obstacle (a stationary V) and collisions.

The rapid urbanisation and economic growth has led to unprecedented increase in CO2 emissions, which led to a vital global issue due partly to the rise in demand from the transport sector. In the years ahead, the transport services demand is likely to increase further, which lead to intensification in CO2 emissions as well. The transportation sector in Malaysia contributes for about 28% of total CO2 emissions, of which 85% of it goes to road transportation mode. This has led to a great interest in how the CO2 emissions in this sector can effectively be reduced. Using a multiple regression model and datasets from 1990 to 2015, this study aimed to examine factors that influence the CO2 emissions in Malaysia. Key factors of CO2 emissions, i.e., fuel consumption (FC), distance travel (DT), fuel efficiency (FE), and fuel price (FP) were investigated for the road transport sector. The findings demonstrated that the impact of factors on CO2 emissions were varies in each technology vehicles. These findings not only contributes to enhancing the current literature, but also provide insights for policy maker in Malaysia to design policy instruments for road transport sector.

Characteristic construction of cable-suspended parallel robot of artificial muscle, which presents an artificial forearm, is analyzed and synthesized. Novel results were achieved and presented. Results presented in this paper were initially driven to recognize and mathematically define undefined geometric relations of the artificial forearm since it was found that they strongly affect the dynamic response of this system. It gets more complicated when one has more complex system, which uses more artificial muscle subsystems, since these subsystems couple and system becomes more unstable. Unmodeled or insufficiently modeled dynamics can strongly affect the system’s instability. Because of that, the construction of this system and its new mathematical model are defined and presented in this paper. Generally, it can be said that the analysis of geometry of selected mechanism is the first step and very important step to establish the structural stability of these systems. This system is driven with two actuators, which need to work in a coordinated fashion. The aim of this paper is to show the importance of the geometry of this solution, which then strongly affects the system’s kinematics and dynamics. To determine the complexity of this system, it was presumed that system has rigid cables. Idea is to show the importance of good defined geometry of the system, which gives good basis for the definition of mathematical model of the system. Novel program package AMCO, artificial muscle contribution, was defined for the validation of the mathematical model of the system and for choice of its parameters. Sensitivity of the system to certain parameters is very high and hence analysis of this system needs to be done with a lot of caution. Some parameters are very influential on the possible implementation of the given task of the system. Only after choosing the parameters and checking the system through certain simulation results, control structure can be defined. In this paper, proportional–derivative controller was chosen.

Currently increased interest in satellite images of the Earth's surface with high resolution terrain  (1 to 10 m). To obtain such images, you must use a long focus optical system (OS) having a limited field of view that does not allow the images of the large width. To increase the effectiveness of shooting in modern space systems (SS) Earth observation provides the opportunity after shooting a segment of the Earth's surface to redirect the OS to another area and spend it shooting. With sufficient speed shift OS it is possible to survey two or more adjacent parcels, which is almost equivalent to the corresponding increase in the width of the field of view of the removing apparatus. In this connection there is the task of restoring the OS, which is solved by the use of appropriate hardware and software control the angular movement of the removing apparatus. When creating the SS there is also the need to solve the following tasks: calculation of the program angular motion in a given length of the removable sections and a predetermined number of adjacent strips to be shot, with the purpose of definition of system requirements, spacecraft (SC) control and calculation under given characteristics of the system orientation of the SC possible number of the maximum length and remove adjacent portions of the surface of the Earth. To solve these tasks the mathematical model software of angular motion of the SC. Given the necessary initial data, mathematical model and method of calculation of kinematic parameters of a software angular motion of a SC in the mode of area highway shooting adjacent sections of the Earth's surface located at a predetermined distance from a trace route SC; examples and results of numerical calculations of the programmes angular motion by moving the instrument in remote sensing.
