<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Predictive modeling is the key fundamental method to study passengers’ behavior in transportation research. One of the limited studied topic is modeling of public transport usage frequency, which can be used to estimate present and future demand and users’ trend toward public transport services. The artificial intelligence and machine learning methods are promising to be better substitute to statistical techniques. No doubt, traditionally been used econometrics models are better for causal relationship studies among variables, but they made rigid assumptions and unable to recognize the pattern in data. This paper aims to build a predictive model to solve passengers’ classification, and public transport usage frequency using socio-demographic survey data. The supervised machine learning algorithm, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) applied to build a predictive model, which is the better machine learning method for dealing with small datasets, because of its ability of having less parameter tuning. Survey data has been used to train and validate the model performance, which is able to predict public transport usage frequency of future users of public transport. This model can practically be used by public transport agencies and relevant government organizations to predict the public transport demand for new commuters before introducing any new transportation projects.</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The effectiveness of regional railway lines has been a much discussed theme recently mainly in case of lines which are not sufficient per the capacity requirements of carriers, or vice-versa, which are utilised only to a minimum extent. The article deals with the assessment of options how to utilise the railway line Hodonín - Holíč nad Moravou with respect to its inclusion into Revision of Transport Expenses document. Based on the analysis of present operation situation in that border crossing as well as on the analysis of passenger and freight railway transport operation various options of utilising the line have been investigated with respect to operation and economic options of individual alternatives.</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Transport and its major part of transport means is currently based on the internal combustion engine principle. For these engines, the primary energy source is oil, natural gas, coal, biomass and others. These primary energy sources and their processing in refineries and factories are used to produce products that are used to drive engines - fuels. From what energy sources these fuels will be produced and what technology will be used to process and produce them is also an important. This whole process must take the reduction of total emissions into account. Future fuels can be considered synthetically produced diesel or hydrogen, which can later significantly affect the decrease in emissions from their processing, production and subsequent combustion of these more environmentally friendly types of fuels. This article processes analyses and development of basic pollutants, total emissions and energy consumption in the Slovak Republic and the EU. In the second part there is an evaluation of the emissions trend development in transport in the EU and Slovakia.</abstract>

Content of the paper describes usefulness of this system on those railway lines, which have been operated according to norm about simplified supervision of railway operation. Theoretical basis of the research is proved by case study on the railway line Číčenice – Volary (Czechia). This railway line is the only railway line with this safety system nowadays. Application of these issues is evaluated from safety and technology point of view. There are some suggestions for other railway lines, which are suitable for radioblock railway safety system.</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The paper deals with the analysis of the development of mobile devices and current trends in their use and development. The relevance of the article is in its linking history and present. The article points to milestones in historical development and future trends and development of mobile devices. Today, mobile devices affect all areas of human life, whether private or business. Mobile devices are now able to replace computers and laptops, so the user has the information they always have with them. The development of mobile devices inherently includes systems supporting their functioning, which the article also discusses.</abstract>

Transport technic and technology

 The University of Zilina has, since its founding in 1953 as Railway College in Prague, been dedicated to comprehensive research and education in all modes of transport and communication. The need for the exchange of scientific knowledge in the field of transport, with regard to all its directions and modes, has led to the establishment of the international scientific journal Transport Technic and Technology (TTT).  The Transport Technic and Technology journal is a direct successor of the Railway Transport and Logistics journal which was published by the Department of Railway Transport, the Faculty of Operation and Economics of Transport and Communications of the University of Žilina since 2005.  The high scientific level of the journal is guaranteed by experts from the academic sphere and practice from Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Croatia, Austria, the Russian Federation and the United Kingdom.  The TTT journal is a comprehensive focused on all transport modes in the field of technics, technology, transport infrastructure, transport engineering, IT, economics, management, ecology and law. The aim of the journal is to publish the latest knowledge of transport research, the exchange of theoretical knowledge and the best practice information between the academic sphere and practice.  TTT journal is published twice a year – in June and December.  Articles published in the TTT journal are reviewed by at least two independent experts, and the scientific level of published articles is guaranteed by the members of Scientific Committee.  All published articles are free of publishing fees and free of authors reward.  Archiving  Sciendo archives the contents of this journal in Portico - digital long-term preservation service of scholarly books, journals and collections.
