From tachograph sheets we get data on the vehicle distance traveled ie. the vehicle crossed kilometers.
We know that the vehicle is useful only while moving. But if moving without a load it was not useful to, on the contrary, it only makes expenses.
Therefore, the total traveled way, useful to us is only the distance traveled by the vehiclewhile it was loaded and that road we call, distance traveled with the cargo.
How to get to the information about it, what is the distance traveled with the cargo of a vehicles?
By law, the driver is required to fill the "Travel order". In the travel order the driver must enter the correct time and the exact mileage at each standing at each loading and unloading and the amount of cargo they carried.
Therefore, based on data from the travel orders, we can know what is the distance traveled with the cargo and volume of transported cargo.
On this example, we'll see how to calculate utilization of travel distance.
If the distance between the loading and unloading sites is 20 km and if the vehicle had three rounds in that distance, its distance traveled with the cargo will be 3 X 20 km = 60 km. If the vehicle that day, a totaly crossed 125 km, utilization of travel distance or utilization ratio of travel distance will be 60km/125km = 0.48. This means that out of the traveled road vehicle has passed with the cargo 48% or slightly less than half the distance.
The value of this coefficient depends on the logistics.
