Bus Rapid Transit in Brno
Lukáš, Radek ; Mikolášek, Igor (referee) ; Všetečka, Martin (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with the design of express lines in Brno. In the first part it deals with the history and the present of the Transport Company of Brno and with the BRT system in our country and in the world. In the second part, individual sections and proposed variants for express lines in these sections are analyzed. In the last part are presented examples of whole bus routes and their evaluation.

Traffic lanes merging analysis and possible improvement measures
Mikolášek, Igor ; Ščerba, Marek (referee) ; Holcner, Petr (advisor)
The presented thesis deals with lane merging at lane drops. The theory of traffic flow is briefly introduced and put into the perspective of lane merging. Forming of queues at lane drops, the capacity drop and traffic flow behaviour at lane merging is explained. A review of existing measures at lane drops at work zones and elsewhere is provided. Measurements of traffic flow from three different locations are presented. The locations are introduced, the methods used for analysis of the data are explained and the results are provided and discussed. The capacity drop is confirmed and the first proof of concept of the later introduced metering system is presented. The behaviour of the merging drivers was found to have a significant influence on the merging capacity during congestion. Further, an overview of existing applications of traffic light in traffic flow control is provided and ramp metering and mainstream metering is explained. The new metering system for lane drops is presented including several possible modifications and extensions. Finally, the proposed metering system is tested in microsimulation software Aimsun. The simulations further confirm the viability of such systems. It brings significant capacity improvements and consequently even greater improvements of delays and travel times due to shorter queues.

Microscopic Simulation of the junction Malá Amerika
Horák, Michal ; Mikolášek, Igor (referee) ; Všetečka, Martin (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the modeling of traffic flow in several variants of the transport network. Variants are modeled in Aimsun. Current status data was obtained by field observation. In the created models, the traffic flow of both current and future traffic intensities is simulated. Based on the outputs of the simulated operation, the variants are assessed. The proposed variants are compared and the most suitable arrangement chosen.

Public Transport Node Brno-Černovičky
Studený, Václav ; Mikolášek, Igor (referee) ; Všetečka, Martin (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with designing public transport node at location of Černovičky. Purpose of the bachelor thesis is to create efective and simple solution of public transport node. Six design variations were created. These were compared with each other and the fittest variant was designed in more details.

Analysis of traffic lanes joining processes
Mikolášek, Igor ; Všetečka, Martin (referee) ; Holcner, Petr (advisor)
The aim of this paper is to analyse the behaviour of the traffic flow at an area of merging traffic lanes where an application of the zip rule is expected, accoding to the law no. 361/2000 Sb. “o provozu na pozemních komunikacích”. Žabovřeská street, part of the VMO Brno, in the direction from Královopolské tunely to Hlinky interchange was chosen for observation and measuring. Observation, first-hand measurement, radars, and other available means were used for data collection. On the basis of data analysis, several suggestions for improvements are made. These are aimed at increasing the bottleneck capacity. One of the suggestions is tested in a simulation program Aimsun.
