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...

Changes in transport behavior and modal-choice by students on the route from České Budějovice to Prague
Hornych, Lukáš ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Chmelík, Jakub (referee)
This thesis aims to modal-choice and changes of transport behaviour, especially for students on the route from Praha to České Budějovice. The route is chosen due to expanding of the highway and to newly introduced bus and train services. The category of the students is interesting terms to limited options in the context of finances in relation to employees. The comparison of the preferences of these groups is the goal of the thesis. The goal verification has been completed by quantitative and qualitative research by questionnaire. The questionnaire for employees was created by Public opinion research centre, while the questionnaire for the students was created specifically by the author of the thesis. Contrary to the original assumptions, the thesis found that students prefer travel time ahead of the price and employees prefer flexibility ahead of the travel time. The goal of this thesis is determination of meaning chosen factors in modal-choice and monitoring differences of these factors between employees and students. Further, the thesis evaluate competitiveness each of transport modes on the chosen route. Keywords: modal-choice, transport behaviour, public transport

The competitiveness of public transport on example of the Pardubice Region
Hrbek, Martin ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Květoň, Viktor (referee)
The competitiveness of public transport on example of the Pardubice Region Abstract This diploma thesis is devoted to the competitiveness of public transport in the municipalities of the Pardubice Region. Competitiveness is understood mainly in terms of the price difference between travel time and cost of public and individual car transport, and also in terms of the real demand in the municipalities, thus the share of commuting by public transport. Other parameters of mode choice, that is understood as the main indicator of competitiveness, is the number of public transport lines and automobilization. The main objective of this work is to determine how public transportation depends on the other transport characteristics of municipalities. To select significant variables, multiple linear regression analysis was used. After that, geographically weighted regression was applied in order to explain the share of commuting from municipalities. Most data originate in public databases (The Register of vehicles of Department of Transport, population census, digital geographic databases ArcČR and CEDA) and web portals (OREDO, IDOS), part of the data was obtained within questionnaire survey in selected municipalities. An expected negative relationship between the degree of automobilization and the number of public...

Commuting to work by transport mode choice: changes in the main transport modes, depending on a distance on the example of two regional capitals in 2001 and 2011
Petráš, Marek ; Květoň, Viktor (advisor) ; Jaroš, Václav (referee)
The main goal of this work is to evaluate changing significance of main travel modes in two regional capitals between two censuses. The work is based on 2001 and 2011 censuses results. The work is also based on assumption, that there has been a change in travel mode choice within commuting to work due to economic boom (2003-2008) and economic crisis (2008-2010) in the Czech Republic. It means especially growing role of individual automobile travel and declining importance of public transport. The research also focuses on changes of distances, in which the travel modes are mainly used. The basic statistical and cartographic methods are used for the evaluation. The results confirm growing importance of automobile travel at expense of other means of transport, especially bus travel. Both cities are characterised by an importance of railway travel higher than nationwide average. The railway travel maintains its importance especially along the main railway corridors. The average distance of travel has grown in all evaluated means of transport. Despite that, all means of transport achieve in 2011 their maximum share in same distance categories as they did in 2001.

Perception of benefits resulting from Chrudim road bypass and its influence on traffic behaviour of inhabitants
Janoušková, Hana ; Petráš, Marek (advisor) ; Pšenička, Petr (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the perception of the benefits of the bypass of Chrudim and its influence on the traffic behavior of the population. The first part of the thesis is focused on theoretical framing of the researched issue. The main topics addressed are traffic behavior, modal choice, the NIMBY effect and the subsequent integration of these topics into the context of the city's transport infrastructure and the construction of bypasses. For the analytical part of the thesis, the city was divided into 15 areas. The perception of the bypass and changes in traffic behavior in relation to the distance of their residence from the bypass were monitored by means of an online questionnaire. This was followed by an additional field survey in 6 selected areas and an interview with the head of the Transport Department of the town of Chrudim. It was found that the bypass is perceived positively by the inhabitants of the city and is mostly used by the people who live in its vicinity. The results of the whole survey can be beneficial for future town planning.

Aspects influencing modal-choice in school and labour commuting from Zruč nad Sázavou
Pavliš, Petr ; Marada, Miroslav (advisor) ; Květoň, Viktor (referee)
The choice of means of transport at regular commuting is an issue that affect wide range of working population in Zruč nad Sázavou as well as students. The thesis explains on a representative sample of the population preference and choice of different means of transport at regular commuting to work and school from a small town Zruč nad Sázavou which is located in a relatively peripheral area. First, using statistical methods, socio-demographic, spatial and infrastructural aspects affecting the choice of means of transport are analysed. The second part of the research assesses the socio-psychological aspects of the choice of means of transport using controlled interview. Both surveys were conducted on the four main directions of commuting from Zruč nad Sázavou. Due to the peripheral location of the town and the lower extent of public transport car traffic in the form of individual trips or carpooling is more preferred for regular commuting For certain groups of people public transport still fulfills its function in providing transport services.
