The basic aim of managers in transport is to preserve and expand their share of the transport market. This should be done through prioritising quality and customer service, preservation and expansion field of transport enterprise activity to transport market on the basic of priority orientation to quality and customer, maintaining transport networks and applying the latest knowledge from research. It should also involve making a contribution to favourable indicators of economic activity, and a consideration of environmental change. This paper deals with customer requirements, the possibility of quantifying customer requirements and the recognition of future trends on the basis of assessments of recent quantitative results and the application of managers’ knowledge and techniques.

In the past the traffic accident reconstruction was based in principle only on indirect methods that use accident marks and witness reports. These data were then used within backward reconstruction of event for determination of motion status of accident participants and expression of desirable quantities as are initial velocities, impact velocities, distances travelled or temporal conditions. These methods and their accuracy are dependent on the width of intervals of input quantities or on limited possibilities for motion synchronization between numerable participants of road traffic accidents. Existence of footage from CCTV cameras that captures traffic situations presents very valuable source of information about these accidents. The goal of the article is proposal of a volumetric kinetic mapping (VKM) method of accident reconstruction from CCTV footage. The method is based on synthesis of videoediting, videoanalysis and kinetic simulation using dedicated software for accident reconstruction. The method was furthermore validated for speed-time and distance-time variables by means of experimental test runs and by subsequent application of the method in the reconstruction of these tests using PC-Crash simulation software and two videoediting software packages. Results of the reconstructions of validation runs using VKM method were then verified by comparing them to the measured data from Corrsys Datron Microstar measuring system.

This contribution deals with the braking process of the specified motorcycle with ABS system. The purpose of the measurement was to determine the braking performance of the motorcycle under the selected operating conditions, considering the riders' skills. It was necessary to perform the practical measurements of motorcycle braking characteristics on the dry road surface. To provide the most accurate results the measurements were performed on one selected motorcycle. We concentrated mainly on the specification of the full braking deceleration under individual operating conditions. The measuring device XL Meter TM Pro was used to perform the measurement. The collected data were processed in the programme XL Vision and evaluated by SW PC-Crash. The results of the performed measurements and their evaluation and comparison are presented in the final part of this contribution. The obtained results and data can be further processed in forensic engineering.
