Noise form rolling stock in Brno
Dolíhal, František ; Dočkal, Aleš (referee) ; Klapka, Milan (advisor)
This study is focused on the analysis of data from long-term noise measurements of trams at the turning loop in Brno-Komín, and at the Technological Park turning loop in Brno. Automated field measurement based on sound pressure level and frequency evaluated tram passages to determine if there was the occurrence of squealing noise while traversing tightly curved track segments. Concurrent with noise measurements, meteorological conditions (temperature, relative humidity, and rain) were recorded. Alongside data from the preceding switch memory, including vehicle identification numbers and inspection data provided by the Brno Public Transit Company, an analysis of influencing factors on the occurrence and parameters of squealing noise was conducted. A weak dependence on air humidity (and consequently temperature) was found. This revealed varied noise behavior among tramcars of the same construction. Influence of water in contact of wheel was described during process of drying tracks. Manual field measurements also suggest the influence of vehicle speed. Observations also indicate the need for future assessment of the driver's influence and overall driving dynamics (especially acceleration), which this study does not address.

Influence of traffic volume and meteorological conditions on the air pollution
Vojtěchová, Ivana ; Kotlík, Josef (referee) ; Adamec,, Vladimír (advisor)
Transport, whose intensity year by year increase, has assuredly influence on air quality. This issue solution will be focused especially on localities burden with transport in urban areas. The contribution of transport to increased values of air pollution will be evaluated with regards to meteorological conditions. Background stations from Czech Hydrometeorological Institute categorization will be chosen such as comparative sites. Pollutants emitted from traffic such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide will be observed except meteorological conditions.

The impact of building isolation on CO2 concentration in flats
Čejková, Eliška ; Hovorka, Jan (advisor) ; Holcátová, Ivana (referee)
1 ABSTRACT This diploma work investigates the influence of thermal insolation at residential buildings on the concentration of CO2 (carbon dioxide) in indoor environment. The studied area is a housing estate of panel buildings (flats) in Sezimovo Ústí city. The present work notices a positive impact of thermal insolation on energy demands of buildings and it is mainly saving consumed heat energy which is also connected with emission lowering of carbon dioxide emissions. The main problem which is soluted in the work is that total insolation is usually done without any ventilation solution. It means that it has later a negative impact on indoor environment/air quality in flats. The main part if this work presents measurements of indoor air quality - CO2 concentration, air change rate, temperature and relative humidity in an insolated (with plastic windows) and a non-insolated (with the original wooden windows) flats. The measurement lasted for three days in selected pairs of flats - with plastic and wooden windows. The measuremet took place in bedrooms because the behaviour of residents of households was very similar during their sleep. The air change rate was then caculated from CO2 concentration decay during period of 3 hours without residents. The main aim is to quantify these differences. The conclusion...
