The Application of Mathematical Methods to the Determination of Transport Flows

This article deals with the basic mathematical methods applied to the determination of the size of traffic flows in an urban area transport network. The methods were applied to the design of a new system of public bus transport in the city of Ceske Budějovice. This article represents the partial outcome of the research carried out by the Institute of Technology and Businesses in Ceske Budějovice.

Possibilities of Using Transport Terminals in South Bohemian Region

Abstract Currently, when there is a need for transport services adapted to the customer requirements and create a workable operational system, there is increasing talk about transport terminals. Since the South Bohemian region is one of those where this issue will be increasingly dealt with, this paper suggests ways to use transport terminals as important support systems for freight and passenger transport.

Problems with Approximate Bearing Capacity of Gravel Soils

The publication aims to bring undoubted importance approximate table bearing capacity of gravel soils, which are used in the new constructions. Tabulated values enable to determine the estimated bearing capacity of foundation soil for a simple and inexpensive construction to a depth of 1 meter. In the publication there are compares particular class of gravel soils in depending on the width of the base and ingredients of fine-grained soil. Gravelly soils are the best foundation soil in terms of bearing capacity, but the amount of fine-grained soils or poorly grained gravel, or gravel with a low value of compactness can greatly reduce this value.

Evaluation of the Parameters Affecting the Cohesion of Fine Grained Soil

Cohesion of the soils is one of the most important parameters which soil is evaluated in terms of its suitability for building foundations. Safety of construction is in fact dependent on the strength of soil, respectively shear strength. Fine-grained soil represents very specific group, in which is distinguished an effective and total cohesion of soils. The water in the soil thus drastically affects its cohesion contrary to gravel and sandy soils. The publication compares the tabular values of the effective and total cohesion and define the influence of water, grain size and consistency of her behaviour.

Rationalization of the Production Hall Layout in the Particular Manufacturing Company

This paper deals with the rationalization and optimization of a production hall layout in a particular manufacturing company. Within a practical example, the procedure for overall hall optimization and the related suitable layout of workplaces is described. Optimization is based on the information from Sankey diagrams and other logistic indicators as well as the analysis of removing deficiencies in the workspace layout of a production hall.
