    Analýza vybraných metód zisťovania príčin nehôd v leteckej doprave
    (University of Žilina, 2025) Torozi, Arijon; Materna, Matúš
    The bachelor thesis focuses on the analysis of selected methods for determining the causes of aircraft accidents with the aim of providing a comprehensive overview. The introduction emphasizes the importance of safety in aviation, defines key concepts and categorizes hazards. Subsequently, safety strategies and accident classifications are presented, highlighting significant historical events. The core of the work consists of an analysis of traditional (flight recorders analysis, wreckage analysis, witness testimonies) and analytical methods (qualitative, quantitative, semi-quantitative), with a particular focus on methods for detecting human failures (HFACS) and accident structure (Reason's and Shell model). The conclusion evaluates and compares the analyzed methods in terms of their strengths and weaknesses and their suitability for various accidents. The application of the methods is illustrated with selected historical accidents. The results confirm that a combination of different methods is necessary for effective investigation. The thesis highlights the importance of traditional methods for data acquisition and analytical methods for identifying deeper causes. The aim of the thesis is fulfilled by providing an overview and analysis of the methods, which contributes to a better understanding of aircraft accident investigation.

    Increasing the Safety of Railway Crossings
    (University of Zilina, 2013) Nedeliaková, Eva; Nedeliak, Ivan; Búda, Martin
    This article is focused on improving safety at railway crossings and points of active and passive safety features. Following these general safety rules we can reduce or eliminate the risks that increasingly affect the right of railway crossings. The article describes redundant lock crossing time which unfavorably affects the rail crossing accidents and the solution which eliminates this factor. The paper is supported by the VEGA Agency by the Project 1/0188/13 ”Quality factors of integrated transport system in the effective provision of public transport services in the context of globalisation“ that is solved at the Faculty of Operation and Economics of Transport and Communications, University of Žilina.
