Abstract The Czech Republic has been developing its motorway network since the 1970s, while efforts to upgrade its railway system from the 1990s have been limited to improvements of existing major lines. Only recently has the government decided to construct new “speed connection” rail lines. This article investigates the possible territorial benefits from the future development of planned motorways and of various speed connection railway options. The modelling is based on Huff’s gravity model that calculates the benefits from improved accessibility, to job and service centres for residents of each municipality. The modelling outcomes are used to compare planned motorway development and rail development options with respect to their efficiency, related to the investment and potential numbers of users.

高速公路和高速列车网络建设对地区利益和效率的评估：捷克案例

摘要捷克共和国从1970年代开始就一直在发展高速公路网络，而从1990年代开始对其铁路系统进行升级的工作仅限于对现有主要线路的改进。直到最近，政府才决定建造新的“速度连接”铁路线。本文研究了计划中的高速公路和各种速度连接铁路的未来发展可能带来的地域利益。该模型基于霍夫的重力模型，该模型计算出每个城市居民为工作和服务中心提供的便利性带来的收益。建模结果用于比较计划的高速公路开发和铁路开发方案的效率，以及与投资和潜在用户数量相关的效率。
