Because road vehicle can complete part of their journey on a railway carriage or boat, select the type of transport. For the transport of goods by road only select road. For combined transport road-rail select railway. For combined transport road-sea select shipping. Individual area of seas are determined by the size of the wawes: Sea area A Baltic Sea 8

10 Sea area B North and Mediterranean Sea Sea area C all other seas 9

11 S e l e c t i o n o f s t a n d a r d The application allows to calculate the number of fastening means in accordance with the applicable standards: Guidelines for packing transport units - in this version of application the calculation of this standard is unavailable. IMO International Maritime Organization ILO International Labour Organization The calculation will be performed in accordance with the German national standard VDI The calculation will be performed in accordance with European standard EN from the year The calculation will be performed in accordance with European standard EN from the year

12 T y p e b i n d i n g o f c a r g o The application allows you to calculate the number of fastening means according to the selected type of binding: Friction (top) binding, consisting in pressing of cargo on the loading area. The formula for calculating the retention forces (EN :2010): Direct binding, consisting in direct fixing of cargo on the loading area. The formula to calculate the clamping force (EN :2010): Diagonal binding, consisting in direct fixing of cargo on the loading area, for reducing the number of fastening means into 4 pieces. The formula to calculate the clamping force (EN :2010): 11

13 C o n s t r u c t i o n o f v e h i c l e s Selection of vehicle body affects the calculation of the number of fastening means; individual body can withstand a variety of large power, by which they can hold cargo on the loading area to prevent movement: Selection of vehicle body structure according to EN 12642, dividing the bodies and vehicle bodies to design L and XL.
