The Analysis of Vehicle Use Intensity in a Transportation Company

Abstract

Intensity of use is one of the most important parameters of vehicle operation. It is expressed as the number of kilometres travelled by a car within a specified period of time (day, month, or year). The intensity of use affects vehicle life, the costs and the profits from transportation services, drivers' working time, and other parameters of car operation. For that reason, analysis of data associated with the intensity of vehicle use may be instrumental in the evaluation of a given transport system. The paper presents and discusses the results of statistical analyses of data related to the intensity of use of delivery trucks in the Poczta Polska company in Lublin.
