Simulation of a plug-in hybrid vehicle in real driving cycles
Simulace plug-in hybridního vozidla v reálných jízdních cyklech
(Czech Technical University in Prague, 2025-01-08) Nigrin, Daniel; Heřmanová, Jolana; Heger, Tomáš
This diploma thesis focuses on measuring driving data from real traffic, their processing, and preparation for use in simulations of the Plug-in hybrid vehicle model in GT-SUITE. The measured cycles are then used to simulate the PHEV during city, inter-city, or highway driving under different scenarios that may occur in real traffic.
Reliability and Maintenance Analysis of ATA 21 Systems on B-737 NG and B-737 MAX
Analýza spolehlivosti a údržby systémů ATA 21 na letadlech B-737 NG a B-737 MAX
(Czech Technical University in Prague, 2025-05-15) Píchal, Pavel; Kraus, Jakub; Sekal, Ondřej; Kála, Martin
Airlines are working on reducing the fleet operating costs and Boeing 737 NG and Boeing 737 MAX operators are no exception. The system with most failures, which also undergone an upgrade in between the aforementioned versions of the Boeing 737, is the Air Conditioning system. The thesis describes the system architecture and its evolution from one version of the aircraft to another. Next part is dedicated to reliability of both of the systems and to pointing out the failure elements. The thesis also analyses the economic impact of alternative intervals in maintenance of said elements. Towards the end the thesis evaluates the differences between the air condition system versions and presents possible alternatives to the operation from the economic benefits standpoint.
Improving Traffic Management during Special Events at Sun Bowl Stadium
Optimalizace dopravního toku během speciálních událostí na stadionu Sun Bowl
(Czech Technical University in Prague, 2025-05-15) Polák, Marek; Horák, Tomáš; Svítek, Miroslav; Gurbuz, Okan
This thesis focuses on improving traffic conditions around the Sun Bowl Stadium, especially during large public events. The goal is to propose effective solutions that enhance the use of public infrastructure during both event days and normal traffic conditions. To understand the current situation, two surveys were conducted during a football gameone monitoring parking lot occupancy and the other measuring traffic volumes using video recordings and pressure sensors. Based on the collected data, design changes were proposed for two key intersections: Sun Bowl Dr. with W. University Ave., and Sun Bowl Dr. with Glory Rd. The new designs follow U.S. and European traffic engineering standards. The proposed improvements were evaluated using PTV Vissim traffic simulation software and safety analysis. Results showed a clear improvement in traffic flow and safety compared to the current conditions.
Residential development of family houses, Louňovice pod Blaníkem (district of Benešov)
Rozvojová lokalita bydlení v rodinných domech, Louňovice pod Blaníkem (okr. Benešov)
(Czech Technical University in Prague, 2025-05-19) Vlachová, Vendula; Štréblová Hronovská, Kateřina; Madar, Ondřej
The objective of presented bachelors thesis is the design of a residential neighbourhood consisting of family houses and public spaces. The proposed location on the eastern edge of the town Louňovice pod Blaníkem, situated in the Central Bohemian Region, is an area in development. The site extends over 4 hectares. The entire area falls within the Protected Landscape Area of Blaník (CHKO Blaník). The proposal addresses the finalisation of the currently inhabited area on the eastern side of Louňovice and its connection to the surrounding landscape, specifically the areas of Malý Blaník and Velký Blaník. The design includes the revitalisation of the stream Blanický potok, which forms part of the Blanice River floodplain, as well as the pond restoration and the creation of a new gathering space for cultural events focused on a local thematics of Podblanicko. The project also focuses on the design of new family housing and buildings intended for seasonal recreation. It further elaborates on the spatial and functional layout of the site, with a detailed proposal for public spaces, technical infrastructure, and a model house, including its placement on a selected plot. Emphasis is placed on preserving the natural character of the locality, supporting the key visual links in the landscape, and organising pedestrian connections between the village centre and the hills. The design proposes independent family homes and six rural-style recreation cottages. The calm traffic on the site is complemented by greenery and spaces for occasional parking. Additional parking capacity for tourism purposes is provided at the main entrance to the area on its western side. The site fulfils both residential and recreational purposes.
The Use of Transport Model Data of a Selected City in a Vehicle Routing Problem
Využití dat z dopravního modelu vybraného města v úloze okružních jízd
(Czech Technical University in Prague, 2025-05-15) Piekarz, Marek; Rybičková, Alena; Kříž, Milan; Kašpar, Vojtěch
This thesis focuses on the development of a transport model and the use of data from this model to optimize sorted waste collection routes in the city of Písek. The theoretical part describes key concepts and methods for solving vehicle routing problems (TSP, VRP). The practical part is devoted to the creation of a transport model using the PTV Visum software and the simulation of various routing scenarios. The result is a proposal for an efficient collection system with benefits in terms of cost reduction, improved organization, and lower environmental impact.
