Free Fare Transport Policy in Urban Areas
Štraub, Daniel ; Jaroš, Václav (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Lucie (referee)
The concept of FFTP represents one of the tools utilized by cities in order to solve transportation problems in urban areas or to upgrade the general welfare of citizens living in this environment. The main aim of this bachelor thesis is to, based on a study of literature, introduce the concept of FFTP, its various goals to be fulfilled, the wide scale of its forms and also to evaluate its ability to reach the set goals. The case study of the city Frýdek - Místek analyses impacts of the FFTP concept on the city environment. It appears that the FFTP concept represents a useful tool, which is able to improve the use of public transport, its effectiveness or the mobility of citizens. The concept also enables reduction of use of cars and its negative impacts. It is also important to mention that the concept represents only one single tool out of many, the implementation of which it is possible to follow the effects and therefore it is necessary to support its effectiveness with other sub - elements or tools. Keywords: FFTP, free fare transport policy, free public transport, public transport

Commuting to work by transport mode choice: changes in the main transport modes, depending on a distance on the example of two regional capitals in 2001 and 2011
Petráš, Marek ; Květoň, Viktor (advisor) ; Jaroš, Václav (referee)
The main goal of this work is to evaluate changing significance of main travel modes in two regional capitals between two censuses. The work is based on 2001 and 2011 censuses results. The work is also based on assumption, that there has been a change in travel mode choice within commuting to work due to economic boom (2003-2008) and economic crisis (2008-2010) in the Czech Republic. It means especially growing role of individual automobile travel and declining importance of public transport. The research also focuses on changes of distances, in which the travel modes are mainly used. The basic statistical and cartographic methods are used for the evaluation. The results confirm growing importance of automobile travel at expense of other means of transport, especially bus travel. Both cities are characterised by an importance of railway travel higher than nationwide average. The railway travel maintains its importance especially along the main railway corridors. The average distance of travel has grown in all evaluated means of transport. Despite that, all means of transport achieve in 2011 their maximum share in same distance categories as they did in 2001.

The impact of weather and season to the accessibility in mountain areas
Kroczek, Tomáš ; Jaroš, Václav (advisor) ; Hasman, Jiří (referee)
This Bachelor thesis evaluates the impact of weather and season (of the year) on transport accessibility in the mountainous areas. Thesis is focused on city of Vrchlabí. The thesis is based on data obtained by field survey using a standardized questionnaire. The survey sample was collected on (grammar/high) school. The survey basis was defined by commuting region of school students by comparison with the school region defined based on data from Census 2011. Subsequent case study describes the differences in accessibility, choice of transport mean and traffic behaviour caused by current season or weather. This thesis confirms the assumption, that the weather and season not only affect accessibility but also the transport behaviour of respondents. It provides insights that may affect the scheduling of public transport or construction of new bike lanes and safe walking routes. Keywords: accessibility, modal choice, transport behaviour, Vrchlabí, transport

Factors affecting travel behavior in the context of FFPT: case study Frýdek-Místek
Štraub, Daniel ; Jaroš, Václav (advisor) ; Chmelík, Jakub (referee)
This diploma thesis studies the issue of travel behaviour in the systems with abolished fares of public transport, so called free fare public transport policy (FFPT), which aredominantly influencing the transport system in favour of one means of transport. The main aim of this paper is to figure out how the concept of FFPT is affecting the choice of means of transport and what is the influence of the FFPT on the dynamic in the given transport system. Besides conceptual framing of main theoretical knowledge regarding the issue of travel behaviour and development of transportation systems, the paper is using analysis of practical implementation of the FFPT concept and also, on the case of Frýdek- Místek, the case study of specifics system with implemented FFPT. The results indicate that introduction of the FFPT is effective way how to influence travel behaviour in the favour of public transport and to change conditions in the given transport system, which is then more variable. It's important to mention, FFPT concept does not represents universal tool how to influence development of transport systems while it is just one measure out of many others. Besides of focusing on specifics measurements it is important to systematically using different tools and its complementarity while development of...

Transport behavior of Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant employees and their motivation to move closer to workplace
Pokorný, Jan ; Jaroš, Václav (advisor) ; Květoň, Viktor (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of transport behavior of eployees of Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant employees and their economic migration. The power plant is situated on the border of the Vysocina Region and the South Moravian Region. It is an important employer in terms of lowering unemployment especially in the Trebic region. The main aims of this bachelor thesis are identification parameters of mobility behavior for the reason of commuting to work and finding the limits of willingness to move closer to the place of work. Identification of transport behavior is mainly based on choosing conveyance, which depends on individual economic conditions. Furthermore, it is linked to the accessibility of an area of person's residence and to the number of his or her family members. The data obtained from the questionnaires survey were analyzed and compared with the literature. At the end of the thesis, all the procedures and results of this work are evaluated and another possible extension of work is proposed. Key words: mobility, transport behavior, accessibility, commuting, economic migration, moving to workplace

Kozák, Vlastimil ; Jaroš, Václav (advisor) ; Hasman, Jiří (referee)
The bachelor thesis targets on the topic of carpooling. Under the term of a carpool-journey is understood an alternative to traditional means of transport. This topic has been mentioned in Czechia only marginally and has not been further researched. The thesis aims to get a closer look on carpooling and to cover it as a self-standing complex topic. Main aim is to define the term of carpooling, determine its types and in author's own questionnaire to identify basic principles which are specific for student's carpooling between Prague and the town of Písek. Outcomes of the questionnaire are discussed with literature. It is possible to divide carpooling into internal and external. Furthermore, it can be divided into formal and informal carpooling. The determining factor for a working carpool journey is motivation of participants which forms the carpool-journey's characteristics. Among others it is mainly saving money, saving time and comfort. Main barrier for carpooling is sharing a car with an unknown person. The thesis is an entrance gate into the topic of carpooling and there are a lot of further research possibilities.
