HOW TO MOVE ON WHEN THE STATION IS GONE?
Jálová, Kateřina ; Illéš, Juraj (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
The diploma thesis is based on the pre-diploma project, which deals with the vacant buildings after the railway is moved from the center of Brno to the newly proposed location of the transport hub according to the KAM study. The diploma project focuses specifically on the heritage-listed building of the Brno main railway station. The aim is to find a suitable function for this building and to integrate it into the context between the historic center and the newly built southern quarter. The proposal also solves the building's surroundings, which include the area of the vacant railway track and the station forecourt with its complex traffic situation, which has been one of the least popular public spaces in the city for many years.

The Ideal City Žilina: Conversion of a former railway yard
Čuláková, Michaela ; Likavčanová, Lenka (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
The subject of the thesis is the territory in Žilina city. It belongs to the Slovakian railways and has until now served as an unused area of the track. The current reconstruction of the railways will create a free area of almost forty-five hectares ready for conversion and new use. After the reconstruction, a railway line passes through the territory. The new use and structure respond to this condition. There will also be a new train stop on the route. The territory is the confluence of three rivers, the Váh, Kysuca, and Rajčianka, which is surrounded by greenery, and it was important to keep this natural character as much as possible. The large area of the territory has the prerequisites for the creation of a new urban district within walking distance of the city center. At the same time, the mix and diversity of land use support shorter walking distances and thus the support of non-motorized transport. An active waterfront, new public spaces, housing and employment opportunities, proximity, and connection of suburban areas have the potential to lighten the existing city center.

HOW TO MOVE ON WHEN THE STATION IS GONE?

HOW TO MOVE ON WHEN THE STATION IS GONE? "I'll tell you how. It will be pretty crappy!" (visitor to the exhibition of the same name as the pre-graduate analytical project, 2024) The purpose of the urbanistic-architectural inquiry entitled "How to move on when the station is gone?" is particularly focused on the scenario where several historically protected buildings of significant urban importance in Brno lose their function due to the relocation of a major railway junction. That means, for the preservation of a functional city structure, it is necessary to find a new and equally significant utilization. Especially considering the location and real as well as abstract significance of these buildings. A crucial aspect is the location at the interface between the newly emerging city district in a brownfield area without identity and the oldest historic city center. Former structures associated with the railway aspire to become new significant urban landmarks capable of mediating the soul and identity of Brno to the new district. Connection is the main theme introduced by the urbanistic concept for the conversion of the area, developed in collaboration with the atelier colleagues Šimon Mareček and Kateřina Jálová. The study also builds upon the ideas of the Office of the Architect of the City of Brno, especially the concept of completing the green urban circuit (following the example of Vienna's Ringstrasse) and the idea of revealing the historic so-called Ferdinand Viaduct. The area is further divided into three consecutive sections (subtitles of three diploma theses). This work primarily focuses on the conversion of the released Amerika building and the newly designed urban space 'underlining the dominant feature of Brno - the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul'. "If a book of unfinished pages lies in front of us, its structure is already inscribed in the essence of the work itself." (Prof. Ivan Koleček, 2010) Amerika possesses an amazing genius loci and great potential to become a significant landmark for its surroundings. The "book of unfinished pages" of the former warehouse building has a structure so distinct and valuable that its violent rewriting would border on sacrilege. The building needs to be approached with extreme sensitivity, highlighting its qualities and adapting the space to new functions with necessary delicate interventions to avoid the destruction of the "structure of the work itself". The project aims to improve access to the building, creating connections with the adjacent park to the east through the revealed Ferdinand Viaduct and with the future city street with multifunctional buildings to the west. Better accessibility of the building is ensured by a level connection leading through a symbolic gate from the newly designed houses opening onto the proposed square beneath Petrov (the Cathedral of Saint Peter and Paul) to the main urban transport hub.

Railway track deformation measurement
Leischner, Ludvík ; Bureš, Jiří (referee) ; Švábenský, Otakar (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is about measuring deformations on railway bridge in Znojmo. The horizontal and vertical changes of railway track on the bridge and newly renovated bridge construction were measured by using two independent methods, namely 3D polar method and kinematic GNSS Stop & Go method. The assessment of the longitudinal shifts depending on atmospheric conditions especially the temperature changes is an essential goal of this work. Another key aim is the determination of precision of both independ-ent measuring methods.

Trackside vibration energy harvester
Beňo, Martin ; Sosna, Petr (referee) ; Rubeš, Ondřej (advisor)
This diploma thesis is about the design of a vibrating energy harvester for a railway track. The railways are constantly being innovated and require a large number of sensors to achieve a high level of security and predictive maintenance. Such sensors need to be powered by a certain power source. A conventional energy source could be replaced by a vibrating energy harvester. The work discusses not only the analysis of suitable parameters, but also the realization of the energy harvester. At the end of the work, a functional concept is presented and the proven results are also taken into account.

UIC codes detection and recognition
Zemčík, Tomáš ; Richter, Miloslav (referee) ; Janáková, Ilona (advisor)
Machine detection and reading of UIC identification codes on railway rolling stock allows for automation of some processes on the railway and makes running of the railway safer and more efficient. This thesis provides insight into the problem of machine text detection and reading. It further proposes and implements a solution to the problem of reading UIC codes in line camera scanned images.

Primary Architecture / Architecture is Coming
Ivkovičová, Natálie ; Eichlerová, Eva (referee) ; Ponešová, Barbora (advisor)
The aim of the work is to find a suitable way and solution of mediating architecture and its broad themes into the lives of the public. To design an ideal space and suitable conditions for the popularization not only of architecture, but also of related fields such as art, landscape architecture and construction, where all these disciplines will be connected. The main part of the design is to find a suitable way to "transfer" architecture from large cities and those in which it is taught to regional cities or villages. This way of presentation and sharing would be carried out by mobile pavilions, which would create mobile studios. The entire system will be coordinated and managed by the building, where these mobile pavilions will be merged and modularized. The building will create a "center of architecture", where all functions will be combined. This centre serves as a complementary function to the schools of architecture, civil engineering, fine arts and landscape architecture. Thus, there will be cooperation between students across all disciplines with a place for presentation and exhibition to the public.

Holesov Station Reconstruction
Ludvíková, Lilija ; Šmíd, Jaroslav (referee) ; Říha, Tomáš (advisor)
The master’s thesis deals with upgrading of the Holešov railway station. The goal is to design a solution suitable for the capacity for a current traffic and valid legislation. Required are two boarding edges in the length of 130 meters enabling access to persons with reduced mobility and orientation, adjustments or renovation of a station throat triggered by insertion of platforms, maximizing line speed and design of railway superstructure and substructure design including drainage.
