The impact of the full power characteristics of the internal combustion engine and the traction characteristics of the vehicle on its safety in urban traffic

The aim of the publication was to present the effect of the full power characteristics of the internal combustion engine and the traction characteristics of the vehicle on its safety when moving in urban traffic. The movement of the vehicle in the city was characterized, the condition of its movement was presented and the indicators determining the active safety of the moving vehicle were determined. The characteristics of the full power of internal combustion engines with spark ignition and the vehicle traction diagram were analyzed and compared. Then, on the basis of the performed analyzes, the conditions have been defined which must be met in order to be able to recognize that the vehicle is moving safely. (C) 2019 The Authors.
