. This article deals with the analysis of possible basic personnel problems in a road-transport industry of the Volgograd region and their reasons which include the raise of an average age of specialists, a lack of specialists of lower and middle rank, insufficient number of graduate students of a road educational program specialization, low order for target training of specialists for the road-transport industry of the Volgograd region, employment of graduates outside the territory of the Volgograd region, low entrance salary, which is offered to the graduate students during their employment, insufficient implementation of the programs of social adaptation and consolidation of young specialists at the enterprises of the road-transport industry.There is made a conclusion that it is necessary to solve problems, connected with improvement of quality of the applicants who apply for road-transport majors of study, expanding targeted training of specialists, organizing practical-oriented training of students in road transport areas, and modernizing educational programs in accordance with the needs of the region,their orientation towards world trends.All proposed solutions are basedon the experience of the university’s international activities and cooperation with leading EU educational centers. The issues of specialists training using distance education technologies are considered.

The Relationship

The purpose of this was to investigate the relationship between perceived service quality and customer loyalty in the road transport industry in Nigeria. Leveraging the RATER service quality model, only reliability, tangibles and responsiveness were explored. Participants were drawn from the customer base of organized road transport firms operating in the South East of Nigeria. Being a quantitative survey, results from 318 valid responses were analyzed with SPSS version 21.  Findings indicate that the three constructs (reliability, tangibles, and responsiveness) are significant predictors of customer loyalty, with reliability having the greatest influence, followed by responsiveness and tangibles. The study recommends steady monitoring of service quality as a step towards customer loyalty in the highly competitive road transport industry in Nigeria.

Transport Supply

The Road Safety Remuneration Act 2012 (Cth) (the Act) explicitly enables the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal to make orders that can impose binding requirements on all the participants in the road transport supply chain, including consignors and consignees at the apex of the chain, for the pay and safety of both employee and independent contractor drivers. The tribunal is also specifically empowered to make enforceable orders to reduce or remove remuneration related incentives and pressures that contribute to unsafe work practices in the road transport industry. Recently the tribunal handed down its first order. The article considers whether, and the degree to which, the tribunal has been willing to exercise its explicit power to impose enforceable obligations on consignors and consignees – such as large supermarket chains – at the apex of road transport supply chains. It examines the substance and extent of the obligations imposed by the tribunal, including whether the tribunal has exercised the full range of powers vested in it by the Act. We contend that the tribunal's first order primarily imposes obligations on direct work providers and drivers without making large, powerful consignors and consignees substantively responsible for driver pay and safety. We argue that the tribunal's first order could have more comprehensively fulfilled the objectives of the Act by more directly addressing the root causes of low pay and poor safety in the road transport industry.

The Impact

The social cost, as one of the factors determining sustainability of socio-economic development, is strongly dependent upon a number of casualties and mortality in road accidents. The condition of car tires appears to be one of the important factors determining the occurrence of accidents. The vast majority of vehicles are tested every year at vehicle inspection stations. One of the elements affecting the result of the technical condition test and basically the quality of vehicle braking is the technical condition of the tires. Their technical condition is a very important factor responsible for the quality of acceleration, braking, maintaining, or changing the direction of driving. As a consequence, it has a significant impact on road safety. The aim of the study is to examine the impact of tires on the results of tests performed at a vehicle inspection station. The study presents the results of bench measurements of the impact of selected features of tire condition of two vehicles during routine periodic inspections at a vehicle inspection station (VIS). The focus was on an attempt to assess the impact of inflation pressure, age, and tire tread wear on the braking process. The technical studies performed might be a source for legal steps assuring better management of road safety. It can also be expected that the tire choice and condition may affect fuel consumption, and therefore the amount of energy consumed by the road transport.

Traffic congestion and violation of traffic rules are very common in most of the road transport system. Continuous monitoring is becoming difficult. To improve the quality of road transport monitoring and control, the best possible alternative is machine vision. In this review, several works by researchers on traffic analysis are detailed, studied and reviewed critically for the purpose. Further, an attempt is made to classify the different road traffic analysis approaches available in the literature. Classification is based on principle used, algorithm adopted, techniques used, technology behind and other special considerations of the researchers.

Maintenance Work

The Road Traffic and Transportation Forum (FLLAJ) is a prerequisite for the Regional Road Grant Program to increase community involvement and transparency of the quality of road maintenance work, through cooperation and participation of all stakeholders. FLLAJ's duties include receiving input or complaints from the public regarding roads, traffic and road transport. The purpose of writing this paper is to determine the number of community complaints that have been submitted through the FLLAJ website and whether the problems with these complaints can be resolved. The problem limitation in this study is the Provincial FLLAJ, namely the Bangka Belitung Islands Province, West Nusa Tenggara Province, and East Java Provinces. Complaints that are entered through the respective FLLAJ's website, not through other social media which cannot be accessed by the public freely. The method used in this analysis is descriptive method. The result of this analysis is that the most complaints came from West Nusa Tenggara Province with a total of 81 complaints. As stated on the website, no one has uploaded any follow-up on these complaints, so for the second problem, it cannot be analyzed whether the problem has been can be resolved or not, because there is no detailed information regarding the resolution of the complaint. In conclusion, the FLLAJ plays a role in the Regional Road Grant Program, with many complaints being made on the FLLAJ websites of each province.

Abstract Today, road transport is the fastest-growing segment of the freight transport in Poland. Due to its dynamic development in the 90's and low barriers to entry of new transport companies the importance of this segment still growing. Low transport rates, the ability to reach every place, as well as high flexibility and reliability of supplies carried are the main advantages of this kind of transport. However, besides the advantages, road transport has disadvantages as well, and the biggest drawback of this type of transport is its negative impact on the environment through the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere. In addition, road transport is characterized by high land consumption and noise. This causes that the road transport sector is one of the sectors where actions from the field of sustainable development [1] are performed. This is due to the fact that currently the sustainability issues are very important and the present generation is aware that today's action will affect the quality of life for future generations. Therefore, road transport companies introduce measures to eliminate their negative impact on the environment or on social environment. This article describes the actions aimed at the practical implementation of the concept of sustainable development, conducted by the chosen transport companies.
