Item Transport and Communications - celé číslo 1/2019(University of Zilina, 2019)Item Influence of logistics system optimization on a company value(University of Zilina, 2019) Adámiková, Eva; Čorejová, Tatiana; Mojský, Viliam; Dobroselskyi, MykhailoThe value of a company is influenced by many factors. It depends on how we evaluate the methods we use and what data we have for the calculation. It is also important for what purpose we will calculate the company value. However, the company's management decisions, their strategy and overall direction have a significant impact on the value of the business. In the article we will deal with the impact on the value of a business's optimization of the company's transport network. Also, whether optimization affects more revenue method or equity method.Item Automation of Handling Systems in the Container Terminals of Maritime Ports(University of Zilina, 2019) Dávid, AndrejAutomation of handling systems in the container terminals of maritime ports has become one of the most important changes that happened in maritime transport since the first voyage of a container vessel in 1956. Nowadays, new automated terminals are being built in the world. Most of them are located in Europe, then in North America and the Far East. Automated guided vehicles, automated straddle carriers or automated stacking cranes have replaced handling devices that were manipulated and were controlled by port workers in the container terminals. The basic goal of the paper is to focus on the advantages of this progressive system that is based on the increase of the output of the container terminals, the reduction of downtimes or accidents during handling of containers.Item Cost Analysis of Queuing System of Postal Office(University of Zilina, 2019) Ďutková, Silvia; Hoštáková, Dominika; Turská, Stanislava; Kurotová, Jana; Droźdiel, PawełThe paper displays cost analysis of queuing system of particular post office. The selected Post Office is Zilina 1 Post Office in Slovakia. Post office Zilina 1 provides service to almost 4 000 companies and 13 559 households. [1] This paper considers two types of costs. There are costs of services which are associated with increasing or decreasing system capacity. Additional costs are the costs of rejected customers which are costs associated with deciding customers to leave the post office. Aim of this article to indicate the methodology of costs allocation of queuing system of post office and display the costs calculation method of rejected customers. Primary research using the questionnaire and the simulation method proved to be an appropriate tool in this analysis. The results of this paper show the need to take into account the substitutability of the individual services provided at the post office and the repeated arrival of the rejected customer. In the case that a rejected customer requests a service provided also by other postal operators, the post office can deal with loss of customer.Item Establishing the Concept of Universal Functionality in Public Transport(University of Zilina, 2019) Fürst, Elmar Wilhelm M.This article aims at providing a basic understanding of the important, but often neglected field of accessibility in public transport. Accessibility as an inclusive sustainable concept has the goal to enable all people to use the public transport system independently and self-determinedly. The implementation of accessible public transport directly affects different user groups. People who do not have temporary or permanent impairments will also benefit from simpler and more accessible systems. Consequently, the usability and comfort of public transport systems is raised for all persons. Therefore, the paper points out barriers and solutions for different target groups in public transport and discusses solutions for overcoming them. The paper concludes by showing how the consideration of accessibility already in the planning phase of a project can substantially reduce costs and improve the quality of the services, respectively leading also to better economic results.Item Modelling of traffic on a selected roundabout in Žilina(University of Zilina, 2019) Harantová, Veronika; Kalašová, Alica; Čulík, Kristián; Otahálová, ZuzanaA 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.Item Frequent Flyer Programs – Overview of Existing Models(University of Zilina, 2019) Hoszman, Adam; Marciszewska, Elżbieta; Zagrajek, PawełThis paper describes three basic models of frequent flyer programs offered by airlines. Based on the definitions of these models an analysis of airline loyalty programs offered by European carriers was performed. The paper contains conclusions regarding the evolution of frequent flyer programs in Europe. The development process was assessed and prospective advances were identified.Item Comparison of applications of Smart City concept in the capital cities of V4(University of Zilina, 2019) Jaculjaková, Simona; Trnka, Lukáš; Turská, Stanislava; Kurotová, Jana; Rybicka, IwonaThe article deals with the issue of Smart City concept in the capitals of the V4 countries. We have defined technical terms that are related to the issue. In the analysis of the current situation, we focused on individual areas in which the Smart City concept services are provided. Based on the analysis of the current state, we have concluded. The most frequently used applications in V4 capitals are those belonging to the three areas studied. These areas include transport, ecology and re-al-time services. We compared the individual applications provided to citizens in the capitals of the V4 countries. These applications are included in the three mentioned areas of the Smart City concept. Based on a detailed analysis, we defined the advantages and disadvantages of the three most used areas of the Smart City concept.Item Selected Issues of the TCO Model for the Conversion of the Conventional Bus Fleet to Electric One(University of Zilina, 2019) Krawiec, Krzysztof; Karoń, Grzegorz; Kłos, Marcin Jacek; Wierzbicki, ŁukaszNational and European transport policy is now moving towards zero-emission transport. One way to achieve public transport policy objectives is to replace conventional buses with electric ones. However, due to the technical characteristics of electric buses, this process will be complicated. Tools are therefore required to support this process. The objective of the research project ERANET Electric Mobility Europe project "PLATON - Planning Process and Tool for Step-by-Step Conversion of the Conventional or Mixed Bus Fleet to a 100% Electric Bus Flee” is to support the stakeholders involved in the process of fleet renewal using an IT tool. Proper development of the tool requires the analysis of many aspects related to the process. The article presents selected elements influencing the total cost of ownership (TCO). The focus of the paper is on the technical and organizational aspects related to the replacement of bus fleet. Authors also shows the main aspects of the structure of TCO analysis.Item Software for Identifying Secondary Packaging of Medicines(University of Zilina, 2019) Mojský, Viliam; Adámiková, Eva; Dobroselskyi, Mykhailo; Jaculjaková, Simona; Staša, PavelThe article deals with the creation of software for automatic identification of secondary packaging of medicines. In the first part of the analysis we focused on the possibilities of creating software considering available equipment. The second part followed achieved results. Here we focused on the knowledge and software needed to create our solution. Based on the findings of the analysis, we started working on the software. We have tailored the software solution to fit our needs. It has been customized for the laboratory equipment while meeting our requirements. We have successfully created the software and it will be used in further research activities in the ongoing project.
