Reducing the costs and environmental impact of passenger car transport is very important. However, people are often more interested in money savings. Carpooling is a passenger transport system in which the driver shares a seat or seats in his car. The system consists of a certain number of vehicles, users, and a coordination element. It is very different from Carsharing, in which the whole vehicle is shared. It is not easy to quantify the economic benefits of a carpooling system for the driver. The third chapter shows the cost calculation of operating a private passenger car. Currently, drivers can use various booking systems that recommend the optimal price for transporting one person for a specific distance. It is approximately possible to determine what travel fare the driver obtains in the carpooling. These revenues are in the fourth chapter of the article. The main goal is to evaluate the economic efficiency of carpooling by comparison of calculated costs and revenues. It shows the exact methodology of how it is possible to estimate the economic benefits of the carpooling system for individuals.

Parking is a problem in many cities. Usually, it is not possible to build new parking lots due to insufficient available areas. This paper focuses on the parking situation in Slovak city Žilina. The authors carried out an extensive traffic survey in private and city-owned parking lots. Not only were occupancy data collected, but also the opinions of the drivers who parked there. The second half of the paper is based on results from the survey. It includes a proposal of the new intelligent parking system which can improve the efficiency of parking. This system is proposed in flowcharts and also described. The intelligent parking system with guidance to a free parking space can improve the traffic situation in cities. Drivers find a free parking space faster, which reduces congestion and various other negative externalities. On the other hand, the system has high acquisition costs and other problems. These issues of smart parking solutions are also discussed in the paper.

Research background: In determining the prices in road transport, carriers usually use the calculations based on a so-called routes utilisation coefficient, which allows the carrier to also take the possibility of the return rides without load into account. Currently, it is usually used as a constant from the interval from zero to one. Purpose of the article: Considering a different offer of return transport from individual European Union (EU) countries, it can be assumed that the routes utilisation coefficient should have different values because there is a varying level of non-zero probability that the vehicle will return without a load. This study therefore proposes a new approach to determining the value of this coefficient based on transport direction. The study also aims to identify clusters of EU countries, for which the common value of the coefficient should be set. Methods: The Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test was used to verify the assumption of the differences among the means of transport offers. Cluster analysis was used to identify the aforementioned groups of countries. This analysis is based on real data on transport offers to Slovakia from 18 different EU countries. Findings & value added: The results of the analysis can also be used in other EU countries because if significant differences in transport offers to Slovakia exist in individual countries, there is a reasonable assumption that this conclusion will also be valid in other countries. The analysis demonstrated that it is more appropriate to use the routes utilisation coefficient with various values, dependent on the transport direction. For the transport companies, implementation of the obtained results into practice is beneficial to increase their competitiveness through the more precise setting of transport prices, but also to the optimisation of the transport price itself with regard to the expected costs.

This paper focuses on the statistical evaluation of two independent research tools in the field of traffic psychology. Our research focuses on young drivers in the Slovak Republic and conducts an international comparison. At present, these young drivers make up only about 7% of the total number of drivers, but they cause about 20% of accidents. The paper analyzes the traffic accident rate of young as well as inexperienced drivers. All drivers in the survey had a short period of driving experience. The traffic-psychological survey obtained detailed data via two independent tools. We aimed to find relations between the factors and subfactors of the tools used, namely the BIS-11 (Barratt Impulsiveness Scale) and DAQ (Driver Attitude Questionnaire). The researchers also used these tools in other countries, so it was possible to compare the results obtained. The results from these tools should reveal the psychological causes of as many traffic accidents as possible. Our paper shows the possibilities for the evaluation of the tools used with correlation analysis. The results of our research are shown in symmetrical matrixes of correlation coefficients. Our study also compares its values with the results of foreign authors. Such research has revealed some facts about young drivers’ violations connected with drunk driving, speeding, and other traffic offenses. Our aim was to find connections between the driver’s history (skills, traffic accidents, age, etc.) and psychological characteristics, and we have answered several research questions. In conclusion, we have highlighted the most significant relationships between the factors of driver psychology.

Road freight transport in its current form has significant issues in terms of sustainability. These problems arise from an increase in density as well as from legislative decisions. Although not obvious, the parking of freight vehicles and legislation are connected. EU legislative decisions have reduced the sustainability of the parking system. The first and main goal of our study was to test the hypothesis that social law requirements negatively impact truck parking. The second important goal was to create a methodology that can determine the necessary number of parking spaces that comply with the requirements of social law. The method used for this research included the counting and numbering of parking spaces on specific routes in the EU compared with the intensity of freight vehicles on these routes. Our study shows that it is not possible to meet the requirements of social law and that the current state of freight vehicle parking is unsustainable. Planning sustainable parking areas in accordance with regulatory requirements is necessary, otherwise drivers will circumvent the rules, leading to a distortion of the freight transport market. In this paper, we also outline the proposed methodology for numbering parking spaces in a specific area.

CAD or computer-aided design has become a common tool in many areas of research and it is also an important component in practice. This article describes designing a virtual environment which will be created in a three-dimensional map editor. Subsequently, it can be practically tested in the driving simulator. The aim of the article is to describe the designing procedure, practical examples and simplifications. It is necessary to know basic rules and conditions from traffic engineering, because the virtual environment must be as real as possible. In conclusion there is a description of the use of the results for research as well as the procedure of testing the drivers on the driving simulator and a description of the simulator itself, which will be used.

Modern information technologies are reaching all sectors, including the transport. In recent years, some new “alternative” modes of passenger transport appeared in European cities. One example of this new type of transport is using a digital application to call a taxi with a driver who can transfer from one to four persons to a chosen location with a price known before starting. The legislation in Slovakia has not been sufficiently prepared for such types of mobile applications. Therefore, they had been operating for a short time on the edge of the law. Since April 2019, legislation connected with taxi services was changed. This paper analyses the economic costs and profits of this new type of taxi service with a vehicle without a taximeter that only uses a digital platform.

The dramatic increase in automobile transport over the last few decades has often led to the degradation of a basic element of the urban space – streets, the essential part of every urban area – to simple transport corridors. Life in the street is a dramatic stage on which we all are participating actors. The meaning of streets goes beyond the fact that they lead somewhere else and thus hold the city together, but the streetscape has a meaning in and of itself – we are out in the street because we want to be there. Like other components of the urban space, streets have a spatial dimension but, perhaps uniquely, also have their temporal element. In my contribution I would like to characterize a street in a town and its role in the modern way of life. Streets and public spaces are important elements that make up a city. The rapid increase of number of vehicles brought changes in the character and function of the street space. The streets were perceived primarily as a space reserved for transport, to the detriment of its residential, social and aesthetic function. Vehicles in motion and mainly parked cars gradually occupied a larger part of public areas and they do not allow other activities.

From the point of view of road safety, it is necessary to focus the attention to the driver. Despite the increasingly popular topic of autonomous vehicles, the driver is still a central element of the transport system. Human in the transport system causes mistakes and failures that may result in traffic accidents. Testing drivers in real road traffic is in many ways difficult. It is time-consuming and also expensive, because it is necessary to have fully functional vehicle and lot of fuel. Last but not least, experimental drivers may get into dangerous situations in road traffic and there is also risk that they cause a traffic accident. Therefore this article deals with using of driving simulators for driver testing. Due to the limited use of current equipment in University Science Park, it also describes the simple modification of the training driving simulator to a light driving simulator. Simple rebuilding was done to exchange software to enable editing of the virtual environment. The paper describes the modelling of the virtual environment as well as the process of its testing and the initial results of research in the new environment. At the end of the paper are presented the initial results of the graphical recording of the driver’s activities together with accurate recording of the actual heart rate during the experimental driving in laboratory conditions.

A high-quality network is currently a prerequisite for sustainable transport systems. The sharp increase in automobile traffic has resulted in increased transport problems. The most serious transport problems include traffic infrastructure congestion, increased accident risk and of course environmental impact. Daily mobility and securing the transport of goods is one of the key transport objectives. The most critical point of the road network is the intersection. Therefore, great emphasis is placed on the vehicle to pass smoothly and safely when passing through this place. In this paper an analysis of the current status of the selected roundabout is created. Based on the survey it is proposed three solutions to improve the traffic conditions of the intersection. Aimsun micro-simulation was also used to create solutions.

At present, it is possible to see an increase in car traffic on roads in EU. This trend is caused by still growing demand for transport. This is resulting in a gradual increase in road traffic intensity, congestions and traffic accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to use current road network and build a new, which satisfies the present and future requirements for transport in area. Despite the large investments in the development of infrastructure, the traffic situation is getting worse. The most problematic places in the traffic infrastructure are junctions. In the recent past the circular junctions were highly preferred, but are they also good at increasing traffic? In our article, we analyze the highly loaded circular junction in the city of Hlohovec. We have suggested its solutions with microsimulation.

Costs as a component that represents the decision-making factor for each individual or company, we are meet every day. This article focuses on transport costs that have an impact on urban sprawl, reverting to the source of the individual's transportation target and changing the choice of transfer decision-making with respect to transport costs. Habits how to move from one place to another, in greatly affects the means of transport used by the individual. It is this factor, how to positively influence a passenger to replace individual car traffic for another mode of transport by means of transport costs this article will be dealt with. The degree of automotive has a rising character over the year. It is precisely a tool for helping to partially eliminate the negative impact of individual car traffic on society and city expanses are transport costs.

Using motor vehicles, which uses fossil fuels, is connected with emissions. The main goal of cities, towns and also of the state is to keep these emissions as low as possible. Vehicles move on a traffic network where they are forced to accelerate and decelerate due to various impacts. Junctions and traffic jams are examples of these impacts. An important task is to build transport networks and junctions where vehicles can cross the junction as quickly as possible without unnecessary delay and a significant change in speed. This can contribute to lower vehicle fuel consumption and thus lower emissions.

This report describes opportunities for using driving simulators for research of driver-vehicle interaction. We have focused on examples of the using of the current equipment of the University Science Park of University of Žilina. Laboratory was built for research of driver-vehicle interaction. It’s also important to give examples of evaluation after several measurements. The SNA - 211 REN driving simulator was used for each experimental measurement. It was necessary to use some additional equipment, because the driving simulator was used only for simulation. During simulations, drivers have been performing tasks connected with vehicle driving. Driver’s eye tracking in specific conditions was also important part of our research. We have tested the behaviour of drivers when they have used mobile phones for texting and GPS device with touchscreen.
