  • Abstract
    The accessibility evaluation of public transport is based on commuting conditions in the Czech Republic, where still a significant part of jobs are organised in 2 or 3 work shifts. The usual indicators in such conditions suffer from time of day dependency. The analysis of time dependency is provided for commuting between Czech municipalities for several working time intervals. To conduct such a research, large database with public transport connections must be built using software solution and parallel processing of valid time tables. The sensitivity of results to time selection was partly approved. Even more, important differences in accessibility evaluation between evaluated regions are discovered - the largest changes in accessibility are in the central part (Vysocina) and the modest one in Prague and surroundings.
