Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2018, Vol 189, Issue 3
Abstract
The article describes the transport process and the drivers’ approach with regard to respecting the applicable driver's working time standards. This paper presents and discusses the results of a survey conducted among professional drivers, the primary purpose of which was to obtain the response to the question whether drivers actually rest during the break. Legal regulations strictly determine the minimum daily and weekly rest periods and the maximum daily and weekly driving times. Appropriate advanced technologies represented by measuring tools to the great extent oblige drivers to take a rest at the right time. Nevertheless, on the basis of the research it was stated that drivers frequently execute other activities, thus trying to increase their profits during break time, and therefore they commit for a rest shorter time than this resulting from the current working time regulations. The introduction of newer and more advanced solutions in the recording equipment substantially limits the possibility of performing other activities related to the vehicle during a break, and forces drivers to have a rest, thereby they pose less risk on the roads.<br/><br/>
