This article presents the results of an extensive questionnaire survey focused on changes in the transport behaviour of the population of the Czech Republic immediately after the government’s announcement about the measures implemented to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The questionnaire aimed to determine the changes in the use of the mode of transport for regular travel to work, school, or for shopping, as well as to determine the changes in the frequency of these travels according to monitored socio-demographic groups of inhabitants and specified size groups of settlements. This article contains a statistical evaluation of these changes in the transport behaviour of the population using sophisticated statistical tools. A method is proposed for estimating the number of passengers in public transport using a linear regression model based on the data from conducted transport behaviour survey. In this paper, the Data envelopment analysis (hereinafter referred to as DEA method) within the case study in the South Bohemian Region is also used to determine whether the COVID-19 measures have reduced the efficiency of public transport.
This paper analyses road traffic volumes in the urban environment for the purpose of traffic planning and creation of traffic models. For modelling traffic in a certain area, the initial information about transport demand and distribution in given area is required. The demand for transport is further re-distributed to the transport network and measured against the current road traffic volumes / intensity of traffic. Traffic volumes over time are characterized by various periodic and non-periodic influences (variations). By studying these variations, the tools can be specified for making the final estimate of traffic volumes for a specific time period, a specific type of road or specific vehicle category, and for improving the traffic models for a specific area. In this paper, the authors study time variations in traffic volumes using the data obtained from vehicle detectors for monitoring traffic located on roads in the city of Ceske Budejovice, the Czech Republic.
