Aspects of Improvement in Exploitation Process of Passenger Means of Transport

Table 2

Proposed solutions for detected problems.

(a)

Type of problem	Causes of the problem	Suggested solutions
Bodywork
Corrosion of the body	Weak storage of vehicles	Heating garages in winter
		Storage of vehicles in well-ventilated and dry garages
	Inadequate maintenance	Frequent washing of vehicles
		After cleaning, protective measures for varnish protection
	Inadequate manufacturer's corrosion protection	Increased control services in search of rust fires; Inspections of vehicles for paint defects and their protection if necessary; Additional anti-corrosion protection of closed profiles, e.g. doors

(b)

Type of problem	Causes of the problem	Suggested solutions
Engine with attachments
Weak air supply	Defective air conditioning compressor	Do not turn on the air conditioning system with the windows open
		Before switching on the air conditioning, ventilate the vehicle
	Leaks in the air conditioning system	Periodic checking of the tightness of air conditioning system connections
		More frequent diagnosis of errors using the OBD II interface
	Too small amount of refrigerant every 2 years	Compulsory refrigerant exchanges every 1 year
	Faulty condenser	Periodic checking of the condenser for mechanical damage
Electrical systems
Problems with starting the engine	Defective starter	Replacement of damaged starter components
	Defective fuel systems	Instructing drivers with shorter start-up time
	Uncharged battery	Periodic checking of battery voltage
		Charging the battery when stationary
	Short circuit in electrical system	Connection of diagnostic equipment and detection of faults
	Too much battery load during engine start	Disconnection of unnecessary current collectors
	Unqualified personnel	Increased number of employee training
	Unawareness	Software systems supporting analysis of driving parameters
Braking systems
Weak braking	Aerated braking system	More frequent de-aeration of the brake system
		Control of brake fluid level by drivers
	Used brake fluid	More frequent change of brake fluid
		The use of brake fluids with better technical parameters
	Badly installed brake pads or discs	Additional training for mechanics
		Disciplining the drivers of the machine park
	Greasy brake pads or discs	Cyclic use of degreasing agents
