Srovnání přepravních nákladů a časové náročnosti železniční a silniční přepravy při přepravě vybraných komodit po Baltsko-jadranském koridoru

The aim of this Master thesis is to compare the cost and time demand of transport of chosen commodities with the use of rail and road freight transportation on the Baltic-Adriatic corridor. From the field of activity of the selected rail carrier in the theoretical part of the thesis there is described the legislative process of acquiring the rail authorization in the Czech Republic. The next part of the thesis then compares the individual rail systems in Europe with the focus on the description of the different national standards applied in the railway. Subsequently the selected Baltic-Adriatic corridor is described from the technological, technical and economic point of view. The road transportation, which is the main competitor of the railroad transportation, is described in the next part of the thesis. The last section of the theoretical part is focused on transportation of oversized and dangerous goods by rail and road transportation. In the subsequent practical part is introduced rail carrier DB Cargo Czechia, s.r.o. which provided a real data for the research. The practical part then, in co-operation with the mentioned company, focuses on selected commodities and their transportation cost and time demands. The acquired data are then compared to the quotations proposed by recommended Czech road transportation companies which were recommended by organization ČESMAD Bohemia, z.s. In the end of the thesis there is presented an overview in which are presented the cost and time demands of selected transportations classified according the type of commodity. Based on the research results there are then formulated recommendations for the future transportations of DB Cargo Czechia, s.r.o.
