Zhodnocení vlivu železnic na životní prostředí

Abstract

Submitted thesis called „Environmental Impact Analyses of Railways “ is engaged in life cycle of superstructure, which includes rails (metals), railroad ties, rail fastening system and track ballast. The analysis is processed using the LCA, by the principle of „from cradle-to-grave“. This principle is often used in industrial practice. It consists in the life cycle casting of a product, from raw material acquisition, but it ends by leaving the production, use of the product stage and its removal are not weighed. All obligatory phases were performed on Life cycle assessment according to valid legislation, norm ČSN EN ISO 14 000 (the goal and scope definitiv phase, the inventory analysis phase, the impact assessment phase and the interpretation phase). Analysis of the impact of railways on the environment was created using professional software SimaPro.
