Abstract

U radu su prezentirani rezultati ergonomske prosudbe svih relevantnih čimbenika iz radnog i(li) prometnog okoliša koji utječu na izvedbu i sigurnost vozača cestovnih vozila kompilacijom i komparacijom spoznaja iz recentne znanstvene i stručne literature. Između ostalih čimbenika iz radnog i(li) prometnog okoliša, analizirao se utjecaj antropometrijske prilagođenosti vozača gabaritama upravljačnice, utjecaj čimbenika promjene ITM s navršenom dobi, a zbog dokazanog utjecaja istoga na fizičko radno opterećenje vozača. Također su se analizirale mjere za poboljšanje odvijanja javnog gradskog putničkog prometa, s ciljem unaprijeđenja sigurnosti i izvedbe vozača cestovnog vozila u urbanim sredinama. Sažeto su se analizirali čimbenici umora vozača. Istražilo se kako se primjenom iRAP metodologije i statističkom obradom čimbenika prometnih nesreća može pojednostaviti selekcija lokacija prometnih nesreća u urbanim sredinama za koje umor može biti potencijalni uzrok. Odredile su se smjernice s ciljem poboljšanja sigurnosti cestovnog prometa i izvedbe vozača u urbanim sredinama.

Abstract (english)

This graduate thesis presents the results of an ergonomic assessment of all relevant factors from the working and/or traffic environment affecting the performance and safety of road vehicle drivers by compiling and comparing the findings from recent scientific and professional literature. Among other factors from the working and traffic environment, the impact of driver’s anthropometric adjustment to the cab dimensions, as well as the influence of changes in the BMI (Body Mass Index) with age was studied, due to the proven impact of the mentioned on the driver’s physical workload. Also, measures for improving the performance of public city transport were investigated in order to improve the safety and performance of road vehicle drivers in urban environment. The factors of driver’s fatigue were briefly examined. The research also included the study of how by using the iRAP methodology and the statistical processing of factors of traffic accidents, the selection of the traffic accidents’ locations in urban environments, for which the fatigue can be a potential cause, could be simplified. In order to improve road safety and driver’s performance in urban environments the guidelines were set.
