**1. Introduction**

The chapter is focused on the issue of crisis situations in the transport of material in road transport. The most important elements in transporting transport units are time and money at the moment. Time is taken from the point of view of when and where to pick up the shipments. Of course, time-related information is important where and when to ship the shipment to the destination. Based on this information, a preliminary cost calculation can be performed. The financial valuation depends not only on the distance to which the transport is carried out. Another important information is whether it is a special transport unit and whether special measures or training are needed to transport it (e.g., transport of dangerous substances—transport of ADR in road transport), etc. transport units to quantify the real costs of transporting a transport unit from point A to point B [18, 19].

Thousands of tons of material are shipped around the world every day. The first part of the book is focused on the development of transport units in individual transport sectors in the Czech Republic. In this chapter, we will learn not only the most popular transport sector for transporting transport units. Based on developments in the years, it will be possible to prepare preventive measures to minimize risks. Risks in transport are understood to be situations disrupting the transport

process. Risks can be characterized as influenced or unaffected. The proposed tool should work with both to be an effective tool for both planning and solutions in the ongoing transport process [11–13, 15].

In the conclusion of the thesis, a case study is described. The case study focuses on preventive measures before the emergence of a crisis situation. The proposed tool should be capable of timely response to the tool operator. Based on the information obtained, the tool suggests options for solving crisis situations before and after its creation. The proposed tool works with input data throughout the process. The aim of the instrument should be to prevent but also respond to crisis situations [11, 12].
