The study analyzes skid resistance development and its relation to pavement texture and traffic load, highlighting the role of aggregate quality and alternative parameters.

The study presents a methodology for using virtual tracks in autonomous vehicle navigation, highlighting benefits for accuracy and safety in GNSS-limited environments and outlining key technical and legislative aspects of deployment.

The article “Assessing the speed impact of urban traffic calming devices using functional data analysis”, published in European Transport Research Review, focuses on evaluating the impact of traffic calming measures on vehicle speeds.

The study assesses the impact of traffic emissions on heavy metal levels in wines from South Moravia. It shows that winemaking techniques, not traffic, are the primary source of contamination. The consumption of both grapes and wine poses a low health risk.

Over the past four years, there have been more than 114,000 accidents on regional roads. The new BESIP Best Practice Guide for Developing Regional Strategies provides guidance on systematically improving safety, including best practices from various regions.

The study analyzes the causes and occurrence of rail fractures and buckling in the Czech Republic between 2002 and 2022. It reveals that fractures occur mainly in winter, while buckling occurs in summer, with daily air temperature being a key factor. The findings help improve rail transport safety.

The results of the ESRA3 international survey show that Czech drivers frequently exceed speed limits and are largely unsupportive of measures to reduce speed. In the Czech Republic, tolerance for this behavior is higher than in other European countries.

The publication analyzes estimates of the number of hydrogen refueling stations in the Czech Republic between 2025 and 2050, as well as low-emission hydrogen production and electricity consumption. It considers the use of photovoltaics and small modular nuclear reactors and proposes locating these technologies on brownfield sites.

An overview of liability for wildlife-vehicle collisions in 36 European countries reveals varying legal frameworks and their impact on accident reporting. The study highlights the high number of fatalities as well as underreporting of data, which reduces the likelihood of effective prevention.
