Economic aspects of the traffic situation and driver behaviour
VLACHOVÁ, Pavlína
The bachelor thesis deals with roundabout rules and calculates the cost of waiting when entering a roundabout. It also focuses mainly on people entering and exiting the roundabout. The theoretical part defines the basic concepts related to traffic, driver behaviour and roundabouts. The practical part itself consists of an introduction to the city Tábor and the three roundabouts located there, which is one of the most important parts of this bachelor thesis. For the purpose of the evaluation of the thesis it was necessary to obtain records of the roundabouts. As a next step, an evaluation of where the some freely available traffic census data from the Directorate of Roads and Motorways from the year 2020, and together with the data from the video recordings of the roundabouts, the formulas are used to calculate the total actual and societal costs. At the end of the work it was possible improvement measures in the form of road markings were identified and then, together with the social costs, it was assessed whether the acquisition of traffic signs would be worthwhile.

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and other factors on road traffic safety in the Czech Republic
Schusterová, Josefína ; Chytilová, Julie (advisor) ; Zeynalova, Olesia (referee)
This thesis focuses primarily on determining the potential effect of Covid-19 on road traffic safety in the Czech Republic, measured by the daily volume of traffic collisions. The additional incorporation of weather and seasonal fac- tors contributes to the complexity and uniqueness of this work. Although it is possible to Ąnd relevant foreign literature on the relationship between the pandemic and traffic accidents, this phenomenon has not been widely studied in the Czech Republic. The hypotheses were tested by applying the Ordinary Least Squares es- timation on time series data. The frequency of traffic accidents signiĄcantly decreased with the presence of Covid-19 disease, especially during the state lockdown periods. A similar pattern was observed by the remaining analysed categories of collisions, except for those with alcohol and drugs detected by the offender, which were positively inĆuenced by the pandemic. The wind is the only statistically insigniĄcant weather variable in our analysis, and the state holidays all turn out to signiĄcantly affect the number of traffic accidents. Over- all, the thesis contributes to the revelation of traffic trends during the Covid-19 disease and helps to predict the traffic safety situation in a possible future state of emergency of a similar kind.

What factors affect obtaining penalty points by region in ČR?
Farbiak, Marek ; Mičúch, Marek (advisor) ; Janíčko, Martin (referee)
The bachelor thesis define factors which motivate drivers for obtaining points for violations of traffic offense. Factors will be tested by method of fixed effects. The economic theory comes from G. Becker, which serves as basis for the tested hypothesis. The accepted hypothesis tests whether the number of traffic policemen, average wages and density of transport in each region of ČR are statistically significant and if they have direct impact on obtaining points. The hypothesis also predicts presumed impacts of each factor. Calculation proved the real impact and statistical significance of all factors. It was also proved that preferences of would-be criminals is also determined by the economic and social environment formed by public policies. However, due to the opposite impact of the density of transport networks the econometrics indicates that we have to reject part of the hypothesis.
