**2. Transport unit in transport**

Transport units in transport can be divided into two parts. The first part is focused on the transport of people, which is not so important for the solution of crisis situations. The number of passengers carried varies across countries. Priority for public transport is preferred for passenger transport in developed countries. This situation in the Czech Republic is rather the opposite, and passenger traffic wins over the public. The trend transferred from abroad in the form of limiting the parking of cars in the centers, and their close surroundings began to be introduced in the Czech Republic. These limitations come under the name of a parking zone in cities. With the help of parking zones, however, the problem is gradually delayed, not the solution. This idea does not lead to the solution of the problem and can result in overcrowding of the periphery of the city [16].

#### **2.1 Transport of people**

In **Table 1**, we captured the number of passengers carried in years in each sector. The table shows the development in individual sectors and at the same time presents their popularity. Water transport in the Czech Republic has no representation in passenger transport. For this reason, no measurable data is recorded when transporting people.

The table shows us the downward number of passengers. We will present this fact in **Figure 1**, which presents a downward trend since 2015.

In **Figure 1**, we can observe a downward trend that started in 2015 and will probably not be different in 2018 and 2019. This fact shows us the decreasing popularity of public transport in passenger transport. This phenomenon is mirrored in popularity and preference by our own means of transport. At the same time, this figure highlights the increasing number of cars on the roads. As a result of the increasing number of cars on the road, there is also a higher density and thus an increased risk of crisis.

*Amount of transported material in the Czech Republic [1].*

The chapter in the book is mainly devoted to the second part. The transport of material is more popular every year, and this is confirmed by the fact how much material is transported every year.

#### **2.2 Transport of material**

In **Table 2**, we can see statistics from the transport sectors. These data capture the number of transported transport units in each transport sector. Water transport is also one of the transport sectors. This sector is used for transporting material but not for transporting people due to watercourses on which people could be transported [1, 2].

**Table 2** shows the dominance of road transport in material transport. Road traffic is the only increase. Other sectors are stagnating. This phenomenon can be seen in **Figure 2**.

Material transport is specific not only to the customer but also to the carrier. The growth in the transport sector is due to the fact that as the only transport sector, material from point A to point B can be transferred. Other sectors except the road sector have transport from terminal to terminal.

In conclusion, when observing statistical data, it can be stated that road transport is the busiest transport sector. At the same time, heavy road traffic increases the risk due to the number of vehicles traveling. The increasing number of means of transport during the most popular times increases the possibility of traffic accidents, which considerably complicate the process of material transport [3, 4].
