This article maps the applications and tools for driver fatigue detection currently available and those in development, explores the experimental and research work gained on the development of novice methodologies and tools in this field. The driver drowsiness measurements have been conducted on driving simulators in the laboratories of Czech Technical University in Prague at Faculty of transportation sciences. The later experiments' technical platforms and approaches of measurements are described here along with the analysis of obtained results that are compared to those of the related work experimental experiments. The conclusions about possible best approaches will be provided.

The paper discusses the means and methods of design of Smart Region. Region and landscape are too large for the classical description. Moreover, they are too heterogeneous - and require mixed formal means. In other words - there is impossible to form a central feedback control block. The paper follows two issues: - Motivation for the design of Smart Regions. It is emphasized the emergence of situations of instability and emergency situations such as wet and dry cycles, interruption of small water cycle, decreased volumes evapotranspiration (plant respiration) and its impact on high volumes of energy flow outgoing into the atmosphere, strong storms (tornadoes) and floods. - Computation network for the content and the area of a Smart Region. The examples illustrate application of the method for a very dense and industrial region and for the region with rich vegetation and low density of cities and industry.

Smart city covers a wide range of topics. In this paper, we introduce a basic building block able to address already on a fundamental infrastructural level several of the key user functions of a smart city. This is done on a scale that can be rather easily managed. So called “smart street” is defined and introduced as a basic building block for any smart city architecture. It does not focus on transportation only (for example through signal control and management), it covers also other aspects, such as data connectivity, safety of citizens, energy consumption and many others.

The subject of this article is analysis of the methods of Earth Observing in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and Smart Cities and technical characteristics of satellite data. The first part of this article presents the analysis of satellite images of the Earth's surface illumination in villages, towns and cities, selected parts of transport infrastructure, which allows monitoring the extent, intensity and quality of illumination in larger areas and then evaluating the impact of illumination on the traffic safety. The advanced processing of satellite images shall allow identification of problem areas and monitoring poor illumination within larger areas. The second part of the article analyzes possibilities of application of methods of Earth Observing by using acquired satellite information combined with ground-based data sources. Processing of all available information and data available shall allow designing of new applications in the framework of the concept of Smart Cities.

This article deals with a Human Machine Interface of Electric vehicles starting from the history of Electric Vehicles HMI, describes currently used system elements and provide evaluation of their advantages and disadvantages. A new concept of Dynamic HMI for Electric Vehicles is introduced to improve EV efficiency in terms of energy consumption and range distance, and consequently increase their popularity among users. This interface is capable to adapt itself to user or system needs and changes dynamically based on EV battery State of Charge or reachability of desired destination. Such implementation of HMI address one of the main reason why users still prefer conventional vehicles with internal combustion engine to EV - range anxiety phenomena. This article aims to be a guideline for a design of new concept of HMI for EV, studies user requirements and propose a methodology of system development including concept definition and user acceptance validation methodology on vehicle driving simulator.

The traffic accidents with presence of hazardous substances have been occurred at transportation on roads, rail roads, rivers, seas, oceans and in air. To the origination of such accident there has been contributed the items as: vehicle design, traffic speed, roadway design, environ round roadway, skill and defects in driver's behavior, and also the properties of shipped hazardous substances. On the basis of integral safety concept the considered accidents are solved as mobile sources of risks. The paper contains the results of research obtained by critical analysis of impacts of relevant accidents in the word and in the Czech Republic, and proposals of measures for upgrade of safety of considered shipping that improve protection of humans from hazardous substances.

A flywheel battery, composed from commercially available low-cost materials, can be designed as an additional energy storage system for further increasing the energy efficiency of vehicles, driven mainly in cities with frequent speed changes. Increasing demands from European Union on additional reduction of CO2 emissions in near future will offer better conditions for commercially successful serial production of hybrid and electric vehicles. Sufficient short-term power for the acceleration of a passenger vehicle in the city as well as efficient accumulation of vehicle kinetic energy during braking for several minutes can be reached even from a flywheel battery of energy capacity of about 200Wh. In combination with traction motor/generator of around 20kW and voltage 48V, the flywheel battery represents an interesting additional retrofit for conventional drives with combustion engines with positive influence on reduction of fuel consumption and therefore, also CO2 emissions. Such solution contributes to energy smart management in frame of smart city systems.

Basic information on Smart City modeling approach based on the concept of the System alliance is presented. An advantage of this approach inter alia is that System alliances are naturally able to model the synergic effects on interfaces and to minimize various negative impacts. Two ways of interfaces modeling within the alliance are discussed: (i.) Quantum-like models and (ii.) the utilization of the duality: automaton - language. In the first case the superposition of states or even the entanglement concepts are suitable tools for recording non - orthogonal interface parameters and resulting phase sensitivity of the respective interface. In the second approach processes on interfaces are modeled as mutual translations of specific languages. Due to significant uncertainties the methodology of genetic algorithms and grammatical evolution are tested.

Due to the high level of development of integrated transport systems in the Czech Republic the need for standardization in this area is constantly becoming urgent. The article deals with the process analysis of a typical fare collection and information system for public transport in the Czech Republic. Results of the analysis are important for the assessment of systems interfaces from standardization point of view.

The term Smart Cities is used in many different meanings ranging from ITC infrastructure development to soft-factor-based approaches and “creative cities”. This paper interprets smart cities as an approach to the problem-solving based on deliberative complexity management. This enables both to increase the range of tools available to Smart City approach and to use the large body of complexity and sustainability related research literature with broad range of historic case studies.
