The correct information, including the full braking deceleration of a vehicle, is an essential factor of the road accident process analysis. The aim of the paper was to define and compare the braking properties of the tested Tesla model S electric vehicle by means of the XL MeterTM Pro decelograph and a smartphone as a new alternative method. The measured procedure was the intensive vehicle braking by means of a fully pressed-down operation brake from the different initial velocities. Altogether, 32 measurements were carried out, out of which 16 on the dry surface and 16 on the wet surface. This paper contains the methodology and the results of the performed measurements. The data obtained by an XL Meter TM Pro measuring device were processed by means of the XL Visionä and PC Crash 11.0. software, whereas the data from the smartphone was analysed using the Diagram software. The results and data processed herewith can be useful for the forensic practice.
The purpose of this publication is to present the construction and adaptation of the test stand intended for motorcycle simulation research. The stand is designed to study the impact of motorcycle vibrations that act on the body of the driver and passenger. Motorcycles belong to one of the types of transport that directly affects users. Excessive vibrations transmitted to the body of the driver and passenger can make driving uncomfortable and even dangerous. The vibrations of motorcycles depend mainly on the technical condition of the vehicle, the structure of the vehicle, and the construction of the engine. The stand was built on the basis of a hydraulic power supply unit, distributor, and electrohydraulic pulsators. The purpose of the construction of the stand is to examine a given group of motorcycles to learn and eliminate vibrations that occur in various areas of motorcycles and affect the comfort, health, and safety of motorcycle travelers. Test studies of the presented stand are presented in this article. The preliminary results of the simulation tests determined the possibility of testing individual elements and motorcycles on the laboratory stand.
