MODELING OF THE EXTRAORDINARY EVENT CONSEQUENCES FOR THE TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES
No full textTransport of dangerous substances by road tankers entails a lot of risks. In the event of a tank accident, apart from the possibility of explosion and fire, there is a possibility of extensive damage to the environment, human life or health. This article deals with the problems of dangerous substances (especially flammable liquid substances) transport. Purpose of this article is to model the consequences of traffic accident the tanker carrying petrol and determine the negative consequences on population
REGIONAL AIRPORTS
No full textThe consequence of social and economic changes in the Czech Republic was the liberalization of air transport. After the politically bipolar Europe ceased to exist and the Czech Republic joined NATO, there was no need to keep so many military airports, which were therefore converted into civilian airports. After some time and especially recently, it is thought that the airports should be deemed as an integral part of the public transport infrastructure

The Dalberg Family Noblewomen and ‚silva rerum‘ of the Second Half of the 19th Century
No full textKunigunda (1827–1892) and Karolina (1874–1935) von Dalberg owned the books and they wrote about their thoughts into them. These books have been stored in the chateau of Dačice and they were forgotten for a long period of time. It was really difficult to classify them due to their complicated structure. I was able to categorize them amongst the ego-documents and I found out they corresponded to the sources called silva rerum. It is very difficult to define this type of a source, because it consists of a miscellaneous content (poems, alba amicorum and diaries entries, pictures, photos etc). What is also special about them is the fact they are quite rare in our area, and that is why just a little of research has been done so far. It is a source of a personal nature and it offers a lot of information. In future, it can also provide answers to various questions related to a personal and public life, everydayness, the way of thinking, the contacts network and many others from the aristocratic life of the 19th century.Kunigunda (1827–1892) and Karolina (1874–1935) von Dalberg owned the books and they wrote about their thoughts into them.

Hermann Jakob Czernin von Chudenitz’ Diplomatic Mission in Warsaw in 1695. A Contribution towards the Travel Arrangements of Imperial Diplomats
No full textThis paper examines the previously unknown diplomatic mission of Hermann Jakob Count Czernin von Chudenitz in Warsaw in 1695. Neither Polish nor Czech nor Austrian historians paid any attention to it. Based on this, however, it is possible to demonstrate perfectly how tense the relations between Emperor Leopold I and the Polish King John III Sobieski, who, at the end of their lives, were officially allies in the Holy League. The author first briefly introduces this mission and then, using it as an example, attempts to show how the travels of the imperial ambassadors of that time were organised and also unveils other additional aspects of the diplomatic service. Above all he reconstructed the court of Count Czernin, who was surrounded by over 80 people, and also located the place of his accommodation in Warsaw and showed which apartment the Count possessed as an ambassador. Finally, he examined the question of the financial costs of this stay, and documented the fact that the ambassador had to pay many expenses from his own pocket, and that this mission had cost him cca. 50,000 guldens.This paper examines the previously unknown diplomatic mission of Hermann Jakob Count Czernin von Chudenitz in Warsaw in 1695.

RESEARCH ON DEMAND FOR BUS TRANSPORT AND TRANSPORT HABITS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN ŽILINA REGION
No full textPríspevok sa zaoberá analýzou dopytu po autobusovej doprave a skúmaním determinantov dopytu a zvyklostí žiakov stredných škôl na základe prieskumu prepravných zvyklostí v Žilinskom kraji. Prepravné zvyklosti žiakov stredných škôl sú individuálne, v čase sa menia. Táto skupina cestujúcich je závislá na službách verejnej osobnej dopravy (VOD) vzhľadom na potrebu premiestnenia za vzdelávaním. Taktiež sa táto skupina cestujúcich významnou mierou podieľa na celkovom dopyte po VOD. Poznanie správania sa tejto skupiny cestujúcich môže napomôcť k zabezpečeniu vhodnej ponuky a kvality dopravnej obslužnosti, čo môže následne stabilizovať dopyt po VOD.The paper deals with the analysis of demand for bus transport to examine determinants of demand and practices of high school students based on survey of their transport habits in Žilina Region. Transport habits of students are individual and variable in time. This group of passengers is dependent on public passenger transport services because of their travelling to schools. Significant part of demand for public passenger transport is also formed by this this group of passengers. The knowledge of student´s transport habits may help in process of adaptation of offering and quality of transport serviceability, what may subsequently stabilize demand for public passenger transport
ASSISTED PARKING SYSTEMS - APS
No full textZ pohledu Systému asistovaného parkování, vzhledem k povaze řidičského úkonu, a zejména vzhledem k nízkým rychlostem, je smyslem uvedeného systému zejména zvýšení komfortu pro řidiče. Dopady na bezpečnost jsou spíš sekundární, zejména z pohledu snížení stresu a zvýšení celkového klidu a pohody řidiče, co může mít za následek i celkové více harmonické, klidné a bezpečné řízení. Empirických dat, který by podložily tento předpoklad, je poměrně málo. Dostupné data však naznačují (např. Reimer, Mehler, & Coughlin, 2010) (1), že systém asistovaného parkování významně snižuje stress při řízení (jak v momentu parkovacího manévru, tak před, případně po manévru), a to jak fyziologicky (měřeno srdeční frekvencí), tak prožitkově (měřeno sebeposuzovací škálou). Tyto zjištění jsou konzistentní napříč věkovými skupinami, řidičskými zkušenostmi nebo pohlavím. Bylo pozorováno, že řidiči byli více nakloněni dávat přednost ostatním vozidlům při testovacích jízdách, kdy byl asistent parkování zapnutý (tamtéž). Uvedené zjištění můžou naznačovat nepřímý pozitivní dopad na bezpečné řízení a dopravní bezpečnost obecně.Given the nature of the driving manoeuvre, particularly with regard to the low speed it involves, the assisted parking system is mainly intended to increase drivers´ comfort. The effects on safety are rather secondary: reducing stress and increasing the general level of the driver’s ease and convenience, it may generally result in more harmonious, calm, and safe driving. The empirical data supporting this assumption is rather limited. However, the available evidence (e.g. Reimer, Mehler, & Coughlin, 2010) (1) suggests that the assisted parking system is highly effective in reducing stress while driving (at the moment of the parking manoeuvre and before and after it), both in physiological (measured by heart rate) and experiential terms (measured by a self-assessment scale). These findings are consistent across age groups, degrees of driving experience, and genders. Observations showed that drivers were more likely to yield to other cars during test drives when the assisted parking system had been activated (ibid.). The findings may indicate an indirect positive effect on safe driving and traffic safety in general
Eye-gouging in Antebellum Popular Fiction
No full textEarly nineteenth century visitors of the Appalachian frontier were shocked by the violence they encountered. In the antebellum backcountry, a “rough and tumble” fight was the accustomed method for settling even minor disagreements. What made this fighting style unique was the emphasis on maximum disfigurement of the opponent and amid pulling hair, biting off lips, tearing off noses and choking, gouging out an opponent’s eye became the essence of rough and tumble. The popularity of this fighting style was attested by the presence of numerous one-eyed men along the Appalachian frontier and the winners of such fights were celebrated in the region’s oral folklore. The article traces the reflection of this violent phenomenon in various works of antebellum popular fiction, including a series of humorous pamphlets known as Crockett Almanacs which were published between 1835 and 1856
