The subject of this paper is the assessment of the influence of the construction and design elements on traffic safety at level crossings in undermined areas. The first part is dedicated to level crossings in the Czech Republic and accident rates at level crossings in the Moravian-Silesian Region. The following part describes the in situ experiment, which was conducted at selected crossings with different types of safety arrangements, intensity of traffic and traffic moments. Our results were compared with the res...

The paper deals with the negative effects of mining on the transport network in the Moravian-Silesian area, especially is focused on problems reflected in construction layers of transport-related structures (railways, roads, area storage and handling areas). With the extraction downturn, the sources and objectives of transport have changed including the characteristics of transport flows of all traffic roads and connections. Various measures for all transport modes situated in Moravian-Silesian region are identifi...

The paper deals with the influence of mining works on the transport in the area mainly the structural layers of transport-related engineering structures elements as railways, roads, railway crossings and the overall transport system. Long-term underground coal mining is usually associated with environmental impacts in the Moravian-Silesian Region in the Czech Republic. There are two types of undermined areas in mentioned region: District of Ostrava where the mines were closed and the mining phenomena are considere...
