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...

Analysis of Pardubice micro-region's transport service
Staněk, Jan ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Květoň, Viktor (referee)
Diploma thesis provides a comprehensive viewpoint at transport services in the Pardubice region, both in terms of public transport supply and demand from people at it. One of the key objectives of this work is to find the influence of characteristics on the selection of mode of transport used by the people to get to work and school at the municipal level. In addition to analysis based on secondary data there is a part of this thesis, which evaluates questionnaire study, particularly in relation to the previous analysis. This comparison of two views, first based on objective statistics data and second based on the subjective view of the reference population of the region, is one of the main values of this study.

Approaches to the study of spatial interactions in geography: an example of evaluation of transport relationships among settlement centres in Czechia
Chmelík, Jakub
Spatial interactions considerably influence complex geographic organisation and the shaping of settlement structures, explaining and describing the importance of interrelationships in the landscape sphere on all scale levels. This is why they are called one of the crucial general terms of geography. When it comes to this topic, the biggest emphasis on it is primarily laid in the study of transport as well as transport networks that we can consider the main support for interactions. The topic of evaluation of spatial interactions or, if defined narrowly, of transport relationships, is characteristic due to its important interdisciplinary nature because the questions of interrelatedness of individual centres and their needs in the context of transport offer are dealt with by transport engineering fields, economic fields, land-use planning specialists, etc. Similarly to other spheres of social and economic geography, where this occurred earlier, present-day geography of transport is undergoing a change in the form of a variety of methodological approaches, "internal" specification of a more detailed delineation of the subject of study and new application challenges. As a rule, the topic of intensity and nature of transport relationships is associated with quantitative methods of cognition of the...

Assessment of Changes of the Modal Split in Connection with the Construction of High Speed Railway Prague-Brno
Koukal, Martin ; Květoň, Viktor (advisor) ; Kvizda, Martin (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to discuss the assessment of changes of the modal split in connection with the construction of high speed railway Prague-Brno. Thesis is aimed on wider context of two theoretical concepts in transportation researches: travel behaviour and the value of travel time. Data collection took place in the form of "Paper and Pencil Interview" method. For a deeper analysis was used the Pivot Table tools. From the collected data was found that economically active people from coaches and trains have higher travel time than students. Among cars users the most important factor influencing the choice of traffic mode is the speed, for coach users it is price and for train users the posibility of work/rest during the journey. Assuming a reduction of travel time between Prague and Brno for about 1 hour while keeping the fare price about CZK 200, high-speed rail connections has the potential to generate more frequent journeys among existing passengers. Keywords: modal split, travel behaviour, the value of travel time savings, competitiveness of railways, high speed railway

Everyday spatial mobility of population in the town Český Krumlov: patterns of individual mobility and their study by means of modern geo-information technologies
ROZKOŠNÝ, Filip
This Bachelor´s thesis is focused on analysis of everyday spatial mobility in the town Český Krumlov. The data needed for research were obtained by questionnaire and partly from GPS loggers. The purpose of research of this Bachelor´s thesis was to find out in what proportion are used the means of transport from the angle of the number of trips, distance covered and the time spent in them. Quite big difference of modal split was registered between average working days and Saturday. During Saturday car was used more times than walking whereas during the working days walking was preferred more than car. From the results it was obvious that the longest distance was travelled in car and the longest time was spent while walking. Another aim of this research was to find out the various purposes of trips according to their number, distance travelled and time spent on them. Differences between trips according to their purpose were registered between an average working day and Saturday. The average working days were characterised by periodically repetitive trips as trips to work and school whereas shopping trips, visit trips and free time trips were typical for Saturday. The longest distance from the total distance was travelled to work and school during the working days and to visit trips on Saturday. The longest time during the working days was spent on trips to work and school. During Saturday the longest time was spent on free time trips. All the results were compared to similar studies. This Bachelor´s thesis includes an accuracy comparison of data of everyday spatial mobility of members of one household. Those compared data were collected by GPS loggers and a questionnaire that was filled by the respondents.
