The new Polish Catalog of Typical Flexible and Semi-rigid Pavement Structures was introduced to use in practice in 2014. Much of works were focused on actualization of vehicles load equivalency factors. For this purpose data delivered from weigh-inmotion were analyzed. Four methods of determination of load equivalency factors for pavement structure design were compared. The analysis showed that fourth power equation, AASHTO 1993...

W artykule opisano problem występowania pojazdów przeciążonych na polskich drogach. Zaprezentowano polskie i europejskie przepisy dotyczące dopuszczalnej masy i obciążenia pojazdów. Przedstawiono wyniki analiz udziału pojazdów przeciążonych w ruchu, wykonanych na podstawie danych z 5 stacji ważenia pojazdów w ruchu, zlokalizowanych na polskich drogach. Artykuł zakończono praktycznymi wnioskami

There is a growing pressure to investigate how to design and build the unmanned underwater vehicles of different types which are devoted towards performing many tasks under the water surface according to the data missions. During the recent years the Department of Ship Design and Subsea Robotics, Faculty of Ocean Engineering and Ship Technology, Gdansk University of Technology designed and built a few types of unmanned underwater...

Oversized heavy duty vehicles occur in traffic very rarely but they reach extremely high weights, even up to 800 tonne. The detrimental impact of these vehicles on pavement structure is much higher than in case of commercial vehicles that comprise typical traffic, thus it is necessary to assess the sensitivity of pavement structure to passage of oversized vehicles. The paper presents results of sample calculations of load equivalency factor...
