Abstract
Abstract The Czech Republic has been developing its motorway network since the 1970s, while efforts to upgrade its railway system from the 1990s have been limited to improvements of existing major lines. Only recently has the government decided to construct new “speed connection” rail lines. This article investigates the possible territorial benefits from the future development of planned motorways and of various speed connection railway options. The modelling is based on Huff’s gravity model that calculates the benefits from improved accessibility, to job and service centres for residents of each municipality. The modelling outcomes are used to compare planned motorway development and rail development options with respect to their efficiency, related to the investment and potential numbers of users.
期刊介绍：
Moravian Geographical Reports je mezinárodní časopis, publikovaný v anglickém jazyce od roku 1993 Ústavem geoniky Akademie věd ČR. Publikuje příspěvky geografů a odborníků příbuzných disciplin včetně geověd a geoekologie, které mají výraznou regionální orientaci. Základní otázku, před níž stojí v současné době tito odborníci, lze položit následovně: „Jaká je úloha regionů a lokalit v globalizované společnosti, daném geografickém měřítku a jak ji můžeme hodnotit?“
