This paper deals with the size of the forces affecting the vehicle during the transportation on a flatbed truck, railway wagon or container. It is necessary to secure the vehicle against these forces properly in order to prevent vehicle´s replacement. The laboratory measurements were performed in order to find out the size of coefficient of friction between the tire and the vehicle´s loading area. During the measurements, vehicle had different gears in order to determine to what extent the size of mechanical resistances affects the fixing and securing the vehicle against its replacement on the loading area. However, this paper does not propose the solution for securing the passenger vehicle on the loading area of a truck, railway wagon or container.
Keywords: mechanical resistances of the vehicle; fixing; securing; loading area; sliding friction; dynamic coefficient of the sliding friction
