Evaluation of fatal traffic accidents
Nekulová, Pavla ; Dašková, Jaroslava (referee) ; Kudrna, Jan (advisor)
The aim of bachelor’s thesis is the evaluation of the influence of variable surface characteristics of roadways (skid resistance and longitudinal unevenness) on fatal traffic accidents in The South Moravian Region in 2011. This bachelor’s thesis contains characteristics of chosen high accident locations and measurement results of the longitudinal friction coefficient and longitudinal unevenness of road surface.

Prediction of road surface skid resistance in laboratory
Nekulová, Pavla ; Dašek, Ondřej (referee) ; Stryk, Josef (referee) ; Varaus, Michal (advisor)
The dissertation deals with a testing method described in ČSN EN 12697-49 (also known as Wehner/Schulze), which aims to predict the evolution of skid resistance properties of road surfaces using laboratory testing. Given that the required quality of skid resistance on road surfaces must be met not only for new constructions but also at the end of the warranty period, contractors of transportation structures have started focusing on the lifespan of road skid resistance properties. Although the Wehner/Schulze test was introduced in the 1960s, increased attention has been given to it only in the last fifteen years. The fundamental prerequisite for utilizing this testing method is linking the measurement results in the laboratory to values measured by dynamic measuring devices, commonly used for monitoring the skid resistance of road surfaces. This involves establishing a relationship between laboratory simulation of traffic and actual traffic load. The final step involves employing the Wehner/Schulze testing method to design special asphalt mixtures with optimal longevity of skid resistance properties. In this case, it entails an asphalt mixture with a combination of aggregates with different PSV values to utilize local aggregates with low PSV values, supplemented with a small quantity of high-quality imported aggregates with high PSV values.

Pavement skid resistance and Skid Resistance Index
Nekulová, Pavla ; Šachlová, Zora (referee) ; Kudrna, Jan (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the relation between the longitudinal friction coefficient dependence on measuring speed and the value of road surface macrotexture MPD. Results of longitudinal friction coefficient and value of MPD measurement on 73 sections are included in this thesis. The results were compared by regression analysis and its outcome was used for determination of formula that enable calculation of longitudinal friction coefficient for any operating speed when longitudinal friction coefficient for 60 km/h and value of macrotexture are known. The evaluation scale for skid resistance index (SRI) was also determined in this thesis. It could be used for evaluation of skid resistance independently of the type of device used for friction coefficient measurement.

Skid resistance of asphalt layers with recycled materials
Bambulová, Lucie ; Nekulová, Pavla (referee) ; Hýzl, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the problems of pavement surface skid resistence of wearing course of asphalt mixtures with R-material. Specifically, it is a mixture of type ACO 11 (asphalt concrete for wearing layers). In the theoretical part of the thesis there are dismantled the problems of Antiskid properties of the road surface and recycling of R-material. The practical part is dedicated to the design and laboratory production of the asphalt mixture ACO 11 without admixture of R-material and with content of 38 % R-material. In addition, the results of the measurement of friction coefficient after smoothed for these bitumen mixtures are shown in the work. The aim of the thesis was to determine the influence of the increased content of R-material on the anti-skid properties of the road surface as it is planned to update the standard ČSN EN 13108-1, which will allow the use of up to 40 % R-material into the mixtures of type ACO 11.
