Research of different scientific disciplines, such as management strategies, organizational theories and marketing, has in the past explored relations of mutual influences and the importance of cooperation of different functions in a company. The increased focus towards the logistics function has potential to increase competitiveness. This is especially true for globally focused production companies. In any company, logistics functions cooperate with various related functions such as production, marketing, procurement, engineering or developing new products as well as with financial functions. Each of the aforementioned connections or cooperation among logistics and its complementary functions can have a decisive effect on the company's competitiveness. Using a survey, we determined which activities in the surveyed companies are performed by the logistical function together with the marketing function and which activities they suggest should be performed together but are currently not, meaning they are co-dependent. Since interfunctional integration between logistics and marketing increases the success of a company, we also examined the connection of the current joint performance of activities and the suggested joint performance of activities among the before mentioned sectors, connected to the success of the company. To examine these connections among the logistical and marketing functions, Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) were performed.

Interest in Intelligent Transportation Systems comes from the problems caused by traffic congestion, road accidents and air pollution. Traffic congestion continues to grow worldwide as a result of increased motorization, population growth, changes in population density and urbanization. Interest in ITS can also be attributed to reducing road accidents and increasing traffic safety. The most common causes for road accidents are excessive speed, inattentive driving and ignorance of the right-of-way rules. To eliminate these causes, experience, knowledge of traffic regulations and a new car are not enough –vehicle safety systems have to take part as well. Therefore, the European Union issued a directive on the installation of intelligent systems, whose functions are active support during driving, warning the driver in dangerous situations and alerting passengers of the car in case of irregularities in motor function or actions carried out by the driver that may cause danger, such as swerving while falling asleep. These systems help drivers to avoid accidents, and in the event of a collision, an emergency call is automatically made. Furthermore, they can be used to regulate traffic patterns or to reduce engine performance, which would reduce pollution. With these benefits in mind, the EU has indicated to the automotive industry that installation of these new Intelligent Transportation Systems should be mandatory in their new vehicles.

Zainteresowanie Inteligentnymi Systemami Transportowymi (ITS) wynika z problemów spowodowanych przeciążeniem ruchu drogowego, wypadkami drogowymi oraz zanieczyszczeniem powietrza. Przeciążenie ruchu stale wzrasta na całym świecie, jako rezultat wzrostu motoryzacyjnego, zwiększenia liczby ludności, zmiany w gęstości zaludnienia oraz urbanizacji. Zainteresowanie ITS może również być przypisane redukcji wypadków oraz zwiększenie bezpieczeństwa na drogach. Najczęstszymi powodami wypadków drogowych są nadmierna prędkość, nieuważne prowadzenie samochodu oraz ignorowanie zasad ruchu drogowego. By wyeliminować te powody, doświadczenie, wiedza o zasadach ruchu drogowego oraz nowy samochód nie są wystarczające –powinny tu również brać udział systemy bezpieczeństwa pojazdu. Dlatego też Unia Europejska ustanowiła dyrektywę o instalowaniu inteligentnych systemów, których funkcje to aktywne wspieranie podczas jazdy, ostrzeganie kierowcy o sytuacjach niebezpiecznych oraz powiadamianie pasażerów samochodu w razie nieprawidłowości w działaniu silnika lub o działaniach powodowanych przez kierowcę, które mogą powodować niebezpieczeństwo, takie jak zbaczanie z drogi w wyniku zasypiania. Systemy te pomagają kierowcom zapobiec wypadkom oraz w razie kolizji wykonują automatycznie telefon alarmowy. Co więcej, mogą być stosowane do regulowania wzorców ruchu lub redukcji osiągów silnika, co zmniejsza ilość zanieczyszczeń. Mając na uwadze te korzyści, Unia Europejska zaleciła przemysłowi motoryzacyjnemu, instalowanie Inteligentnych Systemów Transportowych w nowych pojazdach.

We have to consider the fact that alcohol is a legal drug. The spread of alcohol consumption reflects also in the road traffic safety; nevertheless, alcohol is a significant factor in traffic accidence occurrence, especially in those with serious consequences. In the last few years traffic crashes with fatalities are just following one another and are mostly caused by drivers who consumed alcohol. Adolescents between ages 15 and 24 are one of the most endangered groups of people in traffic, especially drivers and passenger between ages 15 and 24. Adolescents tend to acquire drivers licence as soon as possible in order to enter into drivers’ world. Young drivers as participants in traffic represent a bigger danger as they consume alcohol and drive, than older experienced drivers with the same level of alcohol in blood. We have precisely examined the topic on traffic accidents, young drivers and alcohol intoxication in our country and abroad. We have also carried out a field investigation – conducted a survey in the district Nova Vas - Celje. We came to conclusions which we found very much disturbing as they based on the analysis of results and processed information.

Musimy wziąć pod uwagę fakt, że alkohol jest legalnym narkotykiem. Rozprzestrzenianie konsumpcji alkoholu oddziałuje również na bezpieczeństwo ruchu drogowego. Alkohol jest istotnym czynnikiem wystąpienia wypadków, zwłaszcza tych o poważnych konsekwencjach. W ciągu ostatnich kilku lat wypadki z ofiarami śmiertelnymi następują jeden po drugim i są głównie spowodowane przez kierowców spożywających alkohol. Młodzież w wieku pomiędzy 15 i 24 rokiem życia jest jedną z najbardziej zagrożonych grup w ruchu, zwłaszcza kierowcy i pasażerowie w wieku 15 i 24 lat. Młodzież ma tendencję do zdobywania prawa jazdy jak to tylko możliwe, aby wejść do świata kierowców. Młodzi kierowcy, jako uczestnicy ruchu stanowią większe zagrożenie spożywający alkohol i prowadząc, niż kierowcy z większym doświadczeniem z taką samą zawartością alkoholu we krwi. Ten temat dokładnie zbadaliśmy na wypadkach drogowych, młodych kierowców w naszym kraju i za granicą. Przeprowadziliśmy również śledztwo terenowe – badanie w dzielnicy Nova Vas – Celje. Na podstawie analizy wyników i przetwarzanych informacji doszliśmy do konkluzji, które wydają się być bardzo niepojące.
