<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">There are also the vehicles among the other vehicles in road traffic that have been modified without being authorised by their producer. These also include modifications such as structural modifications in the vehicle break system. Besides a brake system of road motor vehicles is one of the main factors influencing the active safety of vehicles. The design of the brake system, its technical condition and additional intervention in its construction may have a positive as well as negative impact on the braking distance length and the value of the mean braking deceleration achieved. The paper focuses on the influence of the brake disc diameter of the front axle on the achieved value of the mean braking deceleration and the braking distance length, while the braking system has been modified for several times without being approved by car manufacturer. The introductory part of the paper describes the braking distance sections and it also explains the term of mean braking deceleration. The following part of the paper deals with the measurement methodology, measuring equipment and the vehicle used during the measurements as well as procedures employed. The results obtained from the measurements are processed and presented in tables and also in graphs for greater clarity. The final part of the paper summarizes and evaluates the measured results. The importance of the paper lies in quantification of the influence of brake discs with different diameters on the vehicle active safety in the case of a particular vehicle.</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">This paper due to determine an aerodynamic drag for different ways of tarpaulin fixation, specifically tarpaulin tension and disposition on platform-type body of a HDV. More positions of the tarpaulin were investigated. Determination of the resistances was done by coast down test of the vehicle according to Slovakian technical standard (STN). The aerodynamic drag was calculated from actual vehicle deceleration during the coast down test from the actual velocity changes. The vehicle actual velocity was measured by GPS logging device. Results are values of resistance, which affect the vehicle and their sum represents the actual engine power needed for vehicles driving.</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Transport is a social sector that is rapidly developing, changing and being influenced to the maximum extent by the technological development and innovation, among others, thus facing problems in staffing its several domains with appropriate and qualified personnel. This fact, makes the need for changes in training and education of future transport professionals. SKILLFUL project vision is to identify the skills and competences needed by the transport workforce of the future and define the training methods and tools to meet them. Paper focuses on mid-term results of the project.</abstract>

Transport technic and technology

 The University of Zilina has, since its founding in 1953 as Railway College in Prague, been dedicated to comprehensive research and education in all modes of transport and communication. The need for the exchange of scientific knowledge in the field of transport, with regard to all its directions and modes, has led to the establishment of the international scientific journal Transport Technic and Technology (TTT).  The Transport Technic and Technology journal is a direct successor of the Railway Transport and Logistics journal which was published by the Department of Railway Transport, the Faculty of Operation and Economics of Transport and Communications of the University of Žilina since 2005.  The high scientific level of the journal is guaranteed by experts from the academic sphere and practice from Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Croatia, Austria, the Russian Federation and the United Kingdom.  The TTT journal is a comprehensive focused on all transport modes in the field of technics, technology, transport infrastructure, transport engineering, IT, economics, management, ecology and law. The aim of the journal is to publish the latest knowledge of transport research, the exchange of theoretical knowledge and the best practice information between the academic sphere and practice.  TTT journal is published twice a year – in June and December.  Articles published in the TTT journal are reviewed by at least two independent experts, and the scientific level of published articles is guaranteed by the members of Scientific Committee.  All published articles are free of publishing fees and free of authors reward.  Archiving  Sciendo archives the contents of this journal in Portico - digital long-term preservation service of scholarly books, journals and collections.  Plagiarism Policy  The editorial board is participating in a growing community of Similarity Check System's users in order to ensure that the content published is original and trustworthy. Similarity Check is a medium that allows for comprehensive manuscripts screening, aimed to eliminate plagiarism and provide a high standard and quality peer-review process.
