N2  - A vehicle is in fact a very complex elastic system which, if in any way disturbed from its static balance will start to vibrate as a whole, or only some o fits parts, i.e. it will start to move periodically around the position of its static balance thus obviously disturbing the stability of the vehicle movements and the driving comfort and reducing the strength of materials of single vehicle elements. Basic cause for this dynamic excitation is the micro and macroprofile of the surface along which the vehicle moves. Vibrating vehicle has a reduced stability in movement.  Due to traffic safety reasons transversal road humps need to be installed at a section at which the motorist who misread the traffic signals need to be forced to reduce their speed, that is, care must be taken of a number of various factors endangering traffic safety. This paper will try to analyze everything that is included in the "Programmed macro-profile o f road".<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
