VLIV METEOROLOGICKÝCH PRVKŮ NA NEHODOVOST MOTOCYKLOVÉ DOPRAVY V JIHOČESKÉM KRAJI
UHLÍKOVÁ, Renata
This diploma thesis examines the influence of meteorological elements on the accident rate of the motorcycle traffic in the South Bohemian region from 2016 to 2020. The intention is to understand the interactions between the weather conditions and the number of motorcycle accidents. The thesis uses a wide and extensive police database of motorcycle accidents as well as meteorological elements such as temperature, wind, rain, new snow and sunshine. The base of the thesis is a new unique research methodology, which was supported by reports and literature dealing with this issue. Currently, there are not many studies devoted to this topic. The executed data analysis is using the correlation method, which is supported by individual graphs for each investigated element. The thesis result is finding that highest risk factor elements are temperature and sunshine. The segregated data and research can assist in traffic analysis and serve as a basic study for improving the safety of motorcyclist on roads in different weather conditions.

Šeneklová, Zuzana ; Svoboda, Miroslav (advisor) ; Nikolovová, Pavla (referee)
The work analyzes the effect of roundabouts on safety of motorcyclists. Estimating the effect of the implementation of the model fixed effects, taking into account the fixed effects of year in which accidents are measured and fixed effects of the country in which the accident observed. The reference period is the period from 1997 to 2010 in the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Sweden and the United Kingdom. It concludes that an increase in the number or intensity of roundabouts has a negative impact on the number of traffic fatalities among motorcycle riders. If cyclists do not have roundabouts effect on mortality, the effect on the accident rate is similar to the bikers, but smaller.
