Juraj Hammer, Milo¹ Poliak, Marek Ja¶kiewicz
Transport And Communications 2020, 8(1):1-5 | DOI: 10.26552/tac.C.2020.1.1 
In this article, the authors focus on the issue in the field of refund of excise duty on motor oils within Europe. Some states have a refund in their legislation, most European countries do not, and this creates pressure from carriers to make decisions, where and how much it pays to refuel with their vehicles in international transport. Survey research has been created for this article, analyzing and comparing the conditions for creating a competitive environment across Europe. The artikle also wants to point out that reimbursement is not subject to national transport, respectively international transport and drawing by foreign carriers in countries...
Framework for Electromobility in the Slovak Republic and Its Application at the Local Level
Karol Hrudkay, Jaroslav Jaro¹
Transport And Communications 2020, 8(1):6-12 | DOI: 10.26552/tac.C.2020.1.2
The article deals with conditions for the development of electromobility in the Slovak Republic at the national level and at the level of municipalities. The framework at the national level is analysed, consisting of a set of strategic documents adopted at the level of government resolutions, some of which are devoted more generally to alternative fuels. The strength of the documents varies, from the material referred as a recommended one, through the material required by the European Commission to an action plan with defined measures. The second part outlines a possible approach of a municipality to a changing framework at the national level. Experiences...
Online Consumer Purchasing Behaviour in Slovakia
Dominik Laitkep, Edgars Èervkovskis
Transport And Communications 2020, 8(1):13-16 | DOI: 10.26552/tac.C.2020.1.3
The paper describes buying behaviour of Slovak consumers who use social networks. Knowledge of consumer behaviour and consumer preferences means a competitive advantage in the business environment, which is a complex process with many variables. The aim of this study is to present the results of the author's primary research, processed by reducing the number of variables by applying factor analysis. Research shows that consumers are used to making decisions about their purchases directly on the Internet and they using all available information. For Slovak consumers are online order payment together with free delivery important factor for making a purchase...
The Use of Monte Carlo Simulation Method in Decision Support Via MATLAB Script
Viliam Mojský, Karol Achimský
Transport And Communications 2020, 8(1):17-24 | DOI: 10.26552/tac.C.2020.1.4
In our research we examined the possibility of using Monte Carlo simulation to support decision making through simulation models. For this purpose, we chose a basic economy task assignment. Subsequently, we created a simulation algorithm in Matlab, where we searched for the optimal amount of offered products based on the task inputs. The output of the research is a simulation algorithm using the Monte Carlo method to solve a given economic problem.

Road infrastructure is vital to the development of any human settlement and thus it remains an integral part of the municipalities' annual budget. Despite the numerous benefits road infrastructure development (RID) offers, its development imposes negative impacts. While literature is replete with studies on socio-economic impacts of RID at post-construction stage, attention has not been paid to impacts during construction. Consequently, this study aims at analysing the socio-economic impacts of RID during- and post-construction in Abeokuta city in Nigeria. Multistage sampling technique was utilised in sample selection for the study. Both descriptive...
Traffic Congestion and Intelligent Transport System in a Fast-growing Nigeria City

Transport And Communications 2020, 8(1):36-49 | DOI: 10.26552/tac.C.2020.1.6
The dismal performance of the traditional traffic congestion measures and motorist attitudes on Nigeria roads have not only made traffic flow unpredictable and worsening but also worrisome and defiling every measures put-in-place by the Government. To solve these problems, the study assessed traffic congestion and Intelligent Transport System (ITS) in Ibadan, Nigeria. In achieving this, the study examined among others, factors aiding traffic congestion; effectiveness of the existing traffic congestion measures; and the performance and disposition to the use of ITS in the study area. Systematic random sampling was used to administer 386 copies of a...
Constraint Management - the Review
Iwona Tomaszewska
Transport And Communications 2020, 8(1):50-53 | DOI: 10.26552/tac.C.2020.1.7
Constraint management has evolved into a whole system philosophy. It has a manufacture component, but the methodology focus remains at the system level. This article has presented briefly the main assumptions of Theory of Constraints (TOC), which concentrates on the process that slows the speed of production through the system. It is a simple overview of the types of constraints and tools of constraint management, looking at the background. It presents five crucial focusing steps of Theory of Constraints. It also shows the comparison TOC with Six Sigma and Lean Thinking.
Climate Change in the Ecological Policy of Enterprises

Transport And Communications 2020, 8(1):54-59 | DOI: 10.26552/tac.C.2020.1.8
Climate change is nowadays one of the most urgent challenges facing humanity. Therefore, each company, considering its good reputation, devotes a lot of attention to introducing pro-ecological solutions. This is done both at the level of processes carried out in the company and at the staff level. Regardless of the industry, there is an improvement in the awareness not only of employers but also employees in the matter of jointly caring for the environment in which they live. A number of new technological solutions are being introduced and employees are trained to stimulate and develop pro-environmental behaviour. In addition, reports are prepared...
