Proposal for Modifications to the Masaryk Circuit in Brno to Accommodate the F1 Race
Návrh úprav Masarykova okruhu Brno pro zajištění závodu F1
(Czech Technical University in Prague, 2026-08-04) Machačný, Vladimír; Filip, Josef; Kočárková, Dagmar; Tichý, Tomáš
This thesis aims to identify non-compliant parameters of the Masaryk Circuit with respect to FIA Grade 1 requirements and to propose specific structural solutions for their remediation. The analysis is based on direct fieldwork in cooperation with STRABAG, a.s., which carried out a comprehensive reconstruction of the circuit pavement in 2025, as well as on data from the Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping and Cadastre (ČÚZK) and data processed in Autodesk Civil 3D. The thesis systematically compares the existing geometric, safety, and material parameters of all fourteen directional corners, the pit lane, and the circuit infrastructure against the normative requirements of Appendix O to the 2026 FIA Sporting Regulations. Based on maximum achievable single-seater speed calculations derived from real telemetry data of the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix, braking distances and required run-off area dimensions are determined. The results show that the key non-compliant parameter is the run-off area of the first directional corner, named after František Šťastný, where the missing run-off length reaches the order of tens of meters depending on the chosen run-off surface type. The proposed structural solution combines the extension of the asphalt surface (tarmac) beyond the outer edge of the track with the installation of TecPro absorption systems certified for Formula 1 races, while respecting the spatial constraints posed by the presence of the III/6021 road in the immediate vicinity of the corner. Furthermore, the thesis proposes modifications to the starting grid and pit lane road markings in accordance with the single seater dimensions for the 2026 season.
Security Regime and Access Control at PRAHA/Vodochody Airport
Režim zabezpečení a regulace vstupu na letiště PRAHA/Vodochody
(Czech Technical University in Prague) Čurda, Fabián; Lán, Sébastien; Janová, Barbora
The development of Prague/Vodochody Airport depends on the availability of appropriate infrastructure that ensures safe and efficient business aviation operations while maintaining the airport's existing operational activities. One of the main challenges is the current access system to the restricted airport area and the absence of a suitable security restricted area for passenger handling. This bachelor's thesis focuses on proposing measures to improve access to the airport and to design a security restricted area that complies with civil aviation security requirements. The proposed solutions were developed based on a review of Czech and European legislation, an analysis of the current airport infrastructure, consultations with representatives of Prague/Vodochody Airport, and the preparation of alternative design solutions. The proposed variants were subsequently evaluated according to safety, operational, and economic criteria. The thesis presents two alternative access road designs intended to separate airport traffic from the manufacturing facility traffic, together with two alternative concepts for establishing a security restricted area for passenger handling. The work also includes proposed operational procedures for each alternative and a comparison of their practical applicability. Based on the performed evaluation, the main advantages and limitations of each proposed solution were identified, and a recommendation was formulated for the option that best meets the current operational conditions and the planned future development of Prague/Vodochody Airport.
Visualization of the ILS Functioning Principles with Augmented Reality
Vizualizace principu fungování ILS v prostředí AR
(Czech Technical University in Prague, 2026-08-04) Šimko, Marek; Stojić, Slobodan; Olexa, Peter
The topic of this bachelor's thesis is the development of a virtual three-dimensional model illustrating the operating principle of the Instrument Landing System in an augmented reality environment and its adaptation for display on a physical model of Václav Havel Airport in Prague located at the Department of Air Transport at the Faculty of Transportation Sciences of the Czech Technical University in Prague. The aim of the thesis is to create a tool that can serve as an educational aid for teaching the operating principles of the Instrument Landing System. The solution consisted of creating a three-dimensional model of the individual system components in Blender and developing a mobile application in Unity using augmented reality features. The application uses reference image recognition to automatically display the virtual model and allows the user to interactively adjust its displayed scale according to individual requirements. The result of the thesis is a mobile application containing a functional virtual model that enables the visualization of individual components of the Instrument Landing System, including antenna arrays, guaranteed signal coverage envelopes, and the fundamental principles of aircraft guidance during the approach and landing phase. The proposed solution enhances the possibilities for the visual presentation of the Instrument Landing System and creates a basis for further development of the application within future research projects of a similar nature in the field of aviation.
Proposal for a Cycleway Connecting the Ostrava-Poruba District and the Town of Klimkovice
Návrh cyklostezky mezi městskou částí Ostrava-Poruba a městem Klimkovice
(Czech Technical University in Prague, 2026-08-04) Sovadinová, Lucie; Honc, Tomáš; Kočárková, Dagmar; Váňa, Tomáš
This bachelor's thesis focuses on a study of a proposed cycling route connecting the district of Ostrava-Poruba with the town of Klimkovice. The aim is to examine the existing transport links within the area and assess the technical condition of current roads in terms of their suitability for the intended project. The thesis includes a route proposal linked to both the existing and planned network of cycle routes and cycle paths, as well as an assessment of property rights along the proposed alignment. Furthermore, the thesis contains a technical design solution, an estimate of construction costs prepared according to standard pricing norms, and drawing documentation. It also provides an overview of funding opportunities available through regional, national, and European programmes and contributions.
Optimalization of Public Transport in Litomyšl Region
Optimalizace VHD v oblasti Litomyšlska
(Czech Technical University in Prague, 2026-08-04) Kotouček, Filip; Chmela, Petr; Jareš, Martin; Velikovská, Pavlína
The subject of the bachelor's thesis "Optimization of Public Transport in the Litomyšl Region" is to analyse the current state of transport service in this region and focus on identifying its shortcomings. Based on the analysis, optimization measures are proposed with the aim of eliminating these shortcomings or mitigating their impact, and increasing the quality and attractiveness of public transport in the given area.
