“…Therefore, they present research and a database they created, which will be the basis for statistical analysis and regulations defining technical conditions for this type of transport. Corbally, Cahill and O'Connor (2017) confirmed that in Ireland when issuing permits for oversized vehicles, there is no formal procedure to analyze their impact on bridges along the route. They presented a study of the impact of convoys on bridges in the Irish Major Inter-Urban (MIU) motorway network.…”

“…In general, transporting oversize cargo in market practice requires individual logistics preparation. This is the norm for both the European and global markets, although the scope of work in each country is governed by separate regulations (Chwalczuk, 2017;Corbally, Cahill & O'Connor, 2017;Gnap et al, 2022;Huang & Han, 2021;Radomir, 2017).…”

The oversized cargo transportation market in Poland actively participates in developing the economy, providing services necessary for implementing large infrastructure and industrial projects on a national and European scale. Development and functioning of this sector in the EU and globally requires overcoming many organisational, technical and administrative barriers and difficulties, and the authors of several publications indicate how these services are developing. The current study contains a detailed analysis of data from 2001-2022. The paper characterises the changes in particular years, indicating the main causes of the occurring processes, and defines the existing trends. It presents the legal framework that regulates the functioning of the domestic market. Moreover, it discusses the number of permits and the value of fees for issuing permits collected by the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (Generalna Dyrekcja Dróg Krajowych i Autostrad, GDDKiA) over two decades. The article also evaluates trends concerning the number of licenses more than 50% decrease compared to the maximum in 2008. It assesses the course of changes in values, which in 2021 reached their highest level during the period under assessment. Furthermore, it discusses the differences that occurred in the number of permits issued and applications submitted in the years 2014-2022. It describes the structure of the number of permits issued in categories IV-VII in 2014-2020 and categories III-V in 2021-2022. It characterises the course of the largest operation in the history of Polish road haulage - the transport of an abnormally-sized TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) - in terms of requirements and problems that occurred during the preparation and fulfilment of this order and were typical for the functioning of the sector. The evaluation provides the basis for summaries and conclusions on the Development and condition of the oversized cargo transportation sector in Polish road transport sector.

“…They included the axle load for the given number of axles and the total weight in the comparison of the maximum permissible weights. The authors deal with a similar issue in their articles [11,12], where they comprehensively discuss the issue of overweight and oversized traffic in the given study, primarily focusing on crossing bridges during such transports. In this study, an analysis of the legislation in individual foreign countries was performed.…”

Ensuring the safety and smoothness of road traffic in transports, which by their parameters may cause a special situation in road traffic, is the primary task of the team of workers accompanying overweight and/or oversized vehicles. In order to successfully carry out such an activity, it is necessary not only the appropriate technical equipment but also the knowledge of accompanying staff on the issue of critical points during transport and knowledge of how to prevent the danger in the most appropriate way. For these reasons, there is a need to focus the interest of companies on the course of such transport and to increase the safety of all road users through trained staff to accompany vehicles performing overweight and/or oversized transport.

Global Assessment of Bridge Passage in Relation to Oversized and Excessive Transport: Case Study Intended for Slovakia

et al. 2022

The development of an economy and, in particular, the construction of new infrastructure as well as industrial enterprises creates demand for the road transport of oversized freight that exceeds the maximum permissible total mass of vehicle combinations with its share on the axles. Failure to comply with the defined technological processes and a deficiency in the assessment of permitting such forms of transportation can have a large adverse effect, predominantly on the lifetime of bridges in a road network, which can have international implications as well. There is no legislation adopted by the EU Member States, which would at least partially unify the authorisation procedures of these forms of transportation and, therefore, it results in problems when crossing borders and leads to differences related to the assessment of bridge passages. If there is no systematic inspection of this kind of transportation, it can lead to permanent damage of these bridges as well. Currently, and not only in Slovakia but also in other states, the assessment of bridge passage for certain routes is used for heavy and oversized transportation. It means that if we use 100 transports, 100 assessments of individual routes are needed, although some are the same routes or the same vehicles/vehicle combinations used for a number of transports. Thus, the authors designed a global assessment for bridge passage in relation to heavy and oversized road transport while verifying it in the conditions of the EU Member State from Central Europe–Slovakia. Roads are full of different types of vehicles/vehicle combinations for which the axle loads and distances of the axles (wheelbases) are important. Thus, there were vehicle/vehicle combinations parameters (big data) observed, for which the routes relating to heavy and/or oversized transportation were assessed from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2020 in Slovakia. The global assessment of bridge passage introduces an entirely new approach within the procedure for obtaining a special permission for road use as well as within transport use itself. Given the low presence of freight with an abnormal axle load or enormous total mass, it is appropriate to define the limited conditions under which it would be possible to implement the global assessment in practice as well.
