The main goal of the work was to modify Tereza Nováková street due to the extension of the tram line towards the planned graveyard, including the design of the tram line itself. One variant has been elaborated in detail, with alternative variants being shown in sample cross-sections.

Cycling is good for the environment, healthy and affordable [1 ]. However, these benefits are offset by the risk of being involved in traffic crashes [1], with infrastructure characteristics like tram tracks or parked cars increasing aforementioned risk [2, 3]. Bicycle crashes with tram tracks can occur when cyclists turn onto streets with tram tracks or cross them for other reasons, such as avoiding parked cars on the side (oftentimes related to sudden maneuvers to avoid collisions with the door of a parked car being opened) [4]. Such collisions, referred to as dooring crashes, account for a significant proportion of bicycle crashes [3]. Nevertheless, the majority of cyclists ride in the so-called dooring zone, which is the area next to parked cars where dooring crashes can occur. If the cyclists' lateral distance to parked cars is large enough, the risk of being involved in a dooring crash can be eliminated [2]. Cyclists' position on the road can be influenced by descriptive norms which reflect a typical or normal behavior: If many other cyclists ride within the dooring zone, then the descriptive norm in this situation is to ride in the dooring zone [5]. People may also ride in the dooring zone because they are convinced that important people around them would approve of this behavior (injunctive norm), e.g. because it is communicated verbally. Apart from influencing cyclists' choice of position through norms, installing bicycle lanes with buffer zones to keep cyclists out of the dooring zone would be a solution. However, particularly in urban areas, a lack of space can make this impossible. Additionally, if tram tracks ran on the road, it is not always practical to mark bicycle lanes or protective lanes, especially when there is little space to the right of the outer tram track. In connection with frequent bicycle crashes roads with tram tracks, it is discussed whether cyclists might particularly often ride within the dooring zone there as not to have to cross the track.s [3, 6]. In those cases where marking of bicycle lanes or protective lan.es is not feasible due to width or tram track constraints, bicycle pictograms, so-called sharrows, can be marked in the middle of the lane as a measure aimed at encouraging cyclists to choose a position outside of the dooring rone and to increase their perceived safety, another factor influencing the positional choice [2]. To date, a joint experimental variation of the presence of tram tracks, parked cars, and sharrows with the aim of investigating cyclists' position on the road and their feeling of safety has not yet t.aken place. Two online studies were carried out to address this research gap, with cyclists being asked to indicate their perceived safety and their preferred position on the road based on images of a traffic situation in which the presence of tram tracks, parked cars and sharrows was varied.

Bus and other road-bound services like tram and light railway are the backbone of the German local public transport sector. Based on the characterization of high deficits and fragmentation, five main research questions and hypotheses are investigated in this dissertation. First, advanced Stochastic Frontier models which account for unobserved heterogeneity and heterogeneous output variables are used to study cost efficiency and its determinants such as the vehicle utilization rate. Second, economies of scale and scope are evaluated. Third, based on the finding of substantial economies of scale, potential gains from hypothetical mergers are calculated using Data Envelopment Analysis. Fourth, I focus on competitive tendering, another option to increase efficiency in this sector. Analyzing operator changes, I find in majority regional bus services tendered out and structural conditions significantly increasing the probability for operator changes, like tendering in bigger volumes. Fifth, internal and external cost advantages for express coach services as a diversification option for public transport are confirmed. In conclusion, the results of my research are relevant to the strategic decision process of firm management as well as regulators.

I denna rapport presenteras hur en simulatorlösning för funktionstestning av en gruvmaskin har tagits fram. Arbetet har skett i Atlas Copcos regi och består av tre delar: kartläggning i form av intervjuer, utvärdering av befintliga simulatoralternativ och slutligen val och implementation av lösning.   Resultatet visar på en konceptuell prototyp, där en gruvmaskin visualiseras i en 3D-miljö tillsammans med en virtuell gruvgång. Detta möjliggör bland annat testning av autonom navigering, alltså att en gruvmaskin självständigt styr utifrån avläsning av tunnelväggar med hjälp av laser. Samtidigt tillåter lösningen också att kontrollvärden från olika sensorer, såsom vinkelgivare, kan hämtas ut ur simuleringen. / This report presents how a solution for functional testing of mine trucks involving a simulator has been developed. The project has been directed by Atlas Copco and consists of three parts: conduction of a survey in the form of interviews, evaluation of existing simulators and finally selection and implementation of a solution.   The result shows a mine truck visualized in a 3D environment with a virtual mining tunnel. This allows for testing of the autonomous navigation systems developed at Atlas Copco, where a machine uses readings from laser sensors to locate itself and navigate through mining tunnels without the help of an operator. At the same time, it allows relevant and interesting values from various sensors, such as inclinometers, to be extracted from the simulation environment.

This diploma thesis deals with the possibilities of building a tram track between the Prague districts of Suchdol and Bohnice. It summarizes basic facts about public transport in general and in Prague, mentions the organization of the Prague Integrated Transport system and its financing. The practical part deals with the specific project of the tram track connecting Suchdol and Bohnice using the already designed tracks Kobylisy - Bohnice and Podbaba - Suchdol. Moreover, the nearby Troja area is added to the project. Based on current bus traffic data, new tram lines serving these areas are suggested. At the final stage, the project is complemented by the new P + R parking lots and the possibilities of their use.

The intention of this master’s thesis is proposal development of housing in Brno-Řečkovice location. This is an area between Žilkova street and Terezy Novákové street. In currently in this area it is found terraced houses and block of flats near the north boundaries of area. Then it is found the small recreational buildings and yards. Area has development potential, because it is situated in quiescent location of Brno, but at the same time it is relatively easily accessible.Thanks of planning extension tram line. The urban concept contains especially blocks of flats, then objects with services and day-care center. The intention is create functional place with new housing capacity.

The thesis is concerned with establishing the braking retardation and determining of it's influence for standing passengers. The thesis consists of three parts. The first part is theoretical and it is engaged in brake system of tramway. The second, experimentally part talks about practical establishing of braking retardation. And the third part of thesis is gived to discussion about established values of braking retardation. The aim of thesis is to find a value of braking retardation, when standing passengers don't fall down.

My master´s thesis is concerned with the problems of traffic accidents involving public transport in Brno. The first part of my master´s thesis is concentrated on an analysis of the structure of the vehicle fleet of the Dopravní podnik města Brna, a.s. (DPMB). There is an evaluation of traffic accidents of the vehicles of Brno´s public transport in the second part, according to the kind of traction. An analysis of the causes of the most common accidents was carried out on the basis of the ascertained results. In the last part, my master´s thesis is concerned with a proposal of measures to reduce the accident rate.

Cyclist underreporting of lower severity and single cyclist collisions to police results in the underestimation of the societal costs of lower severity and single cyclist collisions [1], [2]. Prevention strategies for these types of collisions are becoming a popular area of research, and video-based approaches have obvious potential for these cases, allowing for detailed analyses of underreported lower severity and single cyclist falls. Video-based studies have been used to investigate site-specific cyclist safety issues such as railway crossings [3 ]. They have also been used for near-collision or near-miss incidents and Surrogate Measures of Safety (SMoS), e.g., [4]. A recent Irish study has identified the most common collision configurations and factors with the inclusion of unreported cases [5]. Findings indicate that falls involving interactions with light rail tram tracks are common in Dublin; they were the most common infrastructural collision partner in this study and a contributing factor in 23% of single cyclist collisions (ibid.), supplementing international findings [6], [7]. Furthermore, along with increasing popularity of cycling, many new light rail systems are being implemented across Europe as part of a broader move towards sustainable transport [8]. Accordingly, further investigation is required to avoid potential conflicts. Therefore, this study aims to use video-based assessment to correlate fall risk with trajectories and crossing angles.
