MEASUREMENT OF DYNAMIC PARAMETERS OF TRACK GRID
Podolník, Adam ; Tomandl, Vladimír (referee) ; Smutný, Jaroslav (advisor)
Coupled with theory analyses, various static and dynamic tests carrying out in laboratory or directly on site serve as a basis for selection and comparison of particular rail superstructure parts. It should be noted that the theoretical analysis of the application of mathematical modeling is often based on highly idealized assumptions. The purpose of this bachelor thesis is the experimental analysis of dynamic effects of selected flexible fastening structures without baseplates. Forces induced by the passage of trains have been simulated on a specially prepared samples using inertial exciter. Additional measurements of the dynamic response of structures to shock induced by a modal hammer were also performed. Measurements were performed in the laboratory of ÚPKO and ÚŽKS and in situ.

High-speed rail in the European Union and the analysis of Thalys
Jakubec, Martin ; Zelený, Lubomír (advisor) ; Letocha, Dušan (referee)
The thesis compares high-speed rail with other means of transport for the purpose to identify its main advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, it determines the scope within which high-speed rail is fully competitive on the transport market. The position of high-speed rail in the European Union is also outlined further in the thesis. These findings are then used to thoroughly analyse the international high-speed system Thalys.

High-speed passenger rail transport in Europe with a focus on the Central European region
Bartoňová, Lucie ; Zelený, Lubomír (advisor) ; Kovář, Petr (referee)
Diploma thesis focuses on the development of high-speed passenger rail in Europe and studies possible geographic expansion of these lines and their feasibility. The theoretical part deals with the development of high-speed rail transport in Europe-especially in France, Italy, Germany and the Iberian Peninsula. In the practical part the thesis analyzes the present spatial expansion possibilities of high speed rail (HSR) with regard to international routes. In the conclusion is in the diploma thesis drafted HSR network for the Central European region.

Line constructions in selected EU countries: Study 5.300
Pulda, Jan ; Syllová, Jindřiška
Práce se zabývá procesem přípravy a povolování významných liniových staveb. Autoři dochází k závěru, že všechny uvedené státy upravují, ve srovnání s běžným stavebním řízením, zvláštním způsobem přípravu a povolování velkých liniových staveb. V žádném z analyzovaných států však neexistuje komplexní úprava určená společně pro všechny druhy liniových staveb.

Rail transport in the United States
Bódi, Andrej ; Zelený, Lubomír (advisor) ; Brozman, Dušan (referee)
This Master Thesis focuses on the American railroads as a whole. It describes the evolution of the railroads and the on-going transformation of its importance in comparison with other means of transport. Further, there are described 5 major railway companies and the state owned company Amtrak, which focuses on passenger transport. The analysis elaborates on the topic of competitivness of Amtrak in various corridors. The author is seeking the answer to the question: Is there a possible gap in the passenger transport market that Amtrak can fill?

The position of rail transport in the global economy
Jakubec, Martin ; Kašpar, Václav (advisor) ; Vošta, Milan (referee)
This thesis deals with rail transport and its position in the global economy. It contains a description and an analysis of the world situation of the railway sector in comparison with other means of transport. Furthermore, not only assesses it main disadvantages and causes of stagnation but it also shows its vital comparative advantages. It also provides an analysis of the development of both passenger and freight rail services with a focus on high- speed rail in selected countries. Finally, the thesis predicts future trends in rail transport.

Analysis of business opportunities in the market for rail passenger transport
Stepanenko, Karol ; Taušer, Josef (advisor) ; Černá, Iveta (referee)
European Commission sees further development of rail passenger transport as one of the main pillars for maintaining and further strengthening of competitiveness of Europe. With rail passenger transport, as a growth industry that connects all the other sectors, we can count on further economic development in future while preserving diversity and beauty of European fauna and flora as well as growth in living standards. It was found that the trends in the use of railways in the Czech Republic and advanced European countries are different. The paper assumes that the role of rail passenger transport in the Czech Republic will strengthen in accordance with trends in western countries. The paper analyses the Czech rail passenger transport market. The Prague -- České Budějovice route has been identified as the most suitable for entry of a new private operator. There are strong streams of passengers. After completion of the railway corridor the route will offer extension of activities onto the Austrian market. The paper analyses the competitive environment. The main competitors are RegioJet and LEO Express. The operator can compete using low-cost concept, especially EMU trains. High quality of offered services will also play an important role. Leasing was identified as the most convenient financial instrument. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats are summarized in the SWOT analysis.

Freight rail transport in the USA
Bódi, Andrej ; Zelený, Lubomír (advisor) ; Brozman, Dušan (referee)
In this bachelor thesis, I am going to characterize the evolution of rail transport in the USA since the very beginning in the 19th century until nowadays. In particular, I want to write about current trends in freight rail transport, infrastructure, situation on the American market, safety and also about the relationship with environment. In the second party, I am going to analyze two major companies on the market -- Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern. To be more precise, I would like to review their history, portfolio of the commodities they transport, locomotive and car rosters and economic situation. In the final conclusion, I sum up the current situation in the USA, concerning the most significant and typical characteristics of the rail freight transport and the differences between the USA and the Europe.
