Prognosis of traffic behavior of inhabitants
Kobzová, Hana ; Rorečková, Iva (referee) ; Všetečka, Martin (advisor)
This diploma thesis focuses on the development of modal split, as a fundamental indicator determining travel behavior for traffic model forecasting. Firstly, approaches to traffic forecasting in the Czech Republic are described, and an emphasis is put on non-uniform definitions and factors influencing modal split. The body of the thesis describes methods of establishing, as well as the development and objective of the modal split in Brno, Zurich, Dresden, Nurnberg, and Vienna. For each city, the effects of traffic network changes on modal split and travel behavior are evaluated. Finally, the observed trends are compared with each other.

Modal Split in Major Czech Cities: Thorough Analysis and Proposal of Policies Leading to Less Car-Dependent Urban Mobility
Bystřický, Vojtěch ; Ščasný, Milan (advisor) ; Šťastná, Lenka (referee)
This thesis focuses on examining the modal split in the five largest Czech cities. Using data from the first nationwide survey on travel behavior in the Czech Republic called Česko v pohybu, the author identifies the main factors which influence the mode choice of inhabitants of Czech cities. The data were evaluated using multinomial logistic regression. Since modal split studies of a large extent are mostly conducted in Western Europe, the United States or Asia-Pacific region, the main contribution of this thesis is to shed some light also on the travel behavior in the Central Europe, more precisely in the largest cities of the Czech Republic. The author analyzes the impact of socio-demographic variables, such as the respondents' age, education level or household income, as well as the importance of the variables related to the trip, such as trip purpose or trip distance. Further, the author also provides comparison of the travel behavior between the examined cities. Among other findings, the author finds that the entitlement to discounted public transport coupons through the ownership of a discount card does not have a significant effect on the probability of using public transport. Further, the results also show that higher education level does not lead to greater use of ecologically friendly...

Solving the state of traffic in České Budějovice in relation to the current traffic infrastructure
FIKLÍKOVÁ, Ivana
The main objective of this text is to take stock of the traffic situation of the city of České Budějovice with a focus on the transport infrastructure. A secondary objective is to propose improvement measures by assessing what the priority transport structure is that will have a positive impact on road transport in the city and by proposing a method to monitor the traffic situation and to re-evaluate the priority of the construction of individual segments. The first step was to obtain information and background documents about the transport situation and transport infrastructure in the city to make an overview and to gain an insight into the issue. This was followed by a more detailed study of methods used in other countries for determination of the traffic problem defining processes, for evaluation of traffic situations and for solutions involving a proposal of transport projects. Given the scale of the problem, the analysis and the proposal that follow only deal with road transport, more specifically with the construction of new roads. Road construction is, according to experts, a key part of any improvement measures since the quality of the current road network is not sufficient not only in cities but in all of the territory of the Czech Republic. Based on the available literature an overview has been made to assess the significance of the city as a transport hub, an overview of the local transport situation and the transport services available in České Budějovice. This was largely based on the Integrated Traffic Management Plan (Integrovaný plán organizace dopravy), the main strategic document. The actual analysis covers only road traffic and the evolution of its intensity. Traffic intensity was monitored on selected roads in České Budějovice and the results were compared with values from previous years. Other criteria regarding the suitability of transport projects were not included in the analysis. The outcome supports the view that construction of transport infrastructure along Strakonická road, Na Dlouhé Louce, Milady Horákové, Husova and the road towards České Vrbné will improve the quality of transport throughout the city.

Underground in Prague
Cejnar, Tomáš ; Zelený, Lubomír (advisor) ; Hampl, Roman (referee)
The thesis deals with the Prague underground. In the theoretical part I explain basic concepts, which are used in this branch, I will divide transport on different segments and describe vehicles of public transport. Another part is devoted to an integrated transport systém and its benefits for the city. In the last part I will focus on the analysis of the Prague underground and I outline its possible future development.
