Introduction

This is a template for papers to be submitted for the proceedings of the “VII. International Scientific Conference of the Faculty of Transport Engineering”.

When typing, use only styles defined in this template and do not modify them, please. Length of the paper should not exceed eight pages and the number of pages should be even. Please, keep in mind the proceedings will be printed in black & white and, therefore, one cannot rely on distinguishing of colours, let alone make references to them.

Layout of the paper

Paper is written in English language. Except for header, which should not be modified, the first text field is title. A good title depicts the content of the paper and, at the same time, is not long. Title exceeding two lines can, typically, be shortened.

Beneath the title, names of the paper’s authors are placed. The style is evident from this template. A footnote link is attached next to each name. In the footnote, following data are stated: name including all degrees, workplace, phone number and e-mail address.

The following sections are abstract and keywords. Layout and extent of these sections are described in the particular sections.

Main text body is divided into numbered sections; heading of the first section is “Introduction”, and of the last section is “Conclusion”. Acknowledgement is placed after conclusion. Further, the bibliography list is attached and the very last section is information about reviewers, which will be added as late as at the final edit of the paper.

text Styles

Ordinary Text

Font of the ordinary text, as well as other parts that do not require a different font, is Arial; default size is 9 points. For emphasis of short pieces of text, it is sufficient to set bold or italic font. Paragraphs are separated by first line indentation; this is not reached by tabulator key, but by selection of Normal with Indentation style. The style of Normal differs only by missing first line indentation – use it where a new paragraph commences typographically, but not semantically; for instance in text follow-up under equation.

Footnotes, where information about authors is given, will automatically get the Footnote text style. There is no need to modify formatting of the style, only set name with degrees in bold, please. Use Abstract style for abstract and keywords and Heading of Abstract style for their headings.

Please, keep cleanliness of the document. If you paste text from a different document, it is better to paste it as unformatted text, so that it can well adjust to the proceedings template styles.

Headings

In order to format title of the paper, use Title style. Section headings are formatted in standard heading styles with automatic numbering. Third level heading (style Heading 3) – if needed – is not numbered.

Lists

In case of a more complicated listing than a sentence can bear, but simpler than what creates a paragraph or section, use unnumbered or numbered lists. If items in these lists are not complete sentences, divide them preferably by commas and end the list by full stop, as seen

Basic symbol of unnumbered list is a bullet (full circle); numbered lists can be supplied by Arabic numbers with point (“1.”), or lowercase letters with bracket (“a)”). It is possible to use multilevel lists, but they are not defined in this template.

Other parts

Figures

Figures can be pasted into text as paragraphs with style Figure – its definition contains centring and vertical space before the paragraph. Title with abbreviation “Fig.”, number (both in bold font), and figure description is under figure. Style Title of Figure is set for formatting of figure title. Number serves as a reference in text, e. g. “see fig. 1”, or “in figure 1”. It is better to avoid automatic numbering of figures; the same is valid for tables and bibliography references. Do not terminate figure description by full stop unless it consists of more complete sentences.

Please, pay attention to sufficient resolution, contrast, and line thickness of figures. Paste vector figures in vector format if the computer technology is able to process it: e. g. the best way to get an Excel graph to Word document is using Windows clipboard with insertion of figure in EMF format; the worst way is insertion in JPG format.

An effective way of line drawing insertion where vector format cannot (or are not intended to) be applied is making a bitmap copy in high resolution, i.e. at least 300 dpi, and with colour depth of one bit (black and white dots only).

Tables

Tables are inserted into text in a similar way like figures. Title, using style Title of Table, is above the object, commences with abbreviation “Tab.” and number, both in bold font. If vertical lines are not necessary, table looks better without them. Tab. 1 shows this formatting defined in Table – FTE style in list of table styles. Particular rows are separated by a thin line (1/4 pt), the first and the last line is thicker (3/4 pt), and header is separated from content by a line of the same thickness.

Tab. 1 Random table

A	B
Radius rkx	[mm]	460,0	460,0
Radius rky	[mm]	∞	∞
Radius rhx	[mm]	∞	625,0
Radius rhy	[mm]	300,0	300,0
Normal Force N	[kN]	60,0	42,5

Tables are centred. Leave a blank line beneath the table or set a 10 pt vertical space before the paragraph to separate table from the following text.

Mathematics

Mathematical typesetting contains symbols and simple equations directly in text and individual equations, too. Equations are centred and numbered by number in round brackets at the right alignment. Using this number, they can be referred to. The appropriate way to format equations is use of the Equation style, where one centre and one right tab stop is set and which, additionally, contains certain vertical spaces. It is recommended to treat equations like a part of sentence and give explanation of yet unexplained symbols, as for instance

,	(1)

where s is relative slip, f0 friction coefficient and c experimentally set parameter. Right in this place, style Normal (without indentation) is applied, as the paragraph continues ordinarily after the equation.

Symbols are typed in italics; bold font is reserved for matrices. Physical units’ symbols are typed uprightly.

Conclusion

The final section of the main part of paper is conclusion. After conclusion, acknowledgement (paragraph style Acknowledgement) and bibliography (paragraph style Bibliography List) follow. Every item is on an individual line and begins with number in square brackets; square brackets apply when referring to a bibliography item from the text, too, e.g. [1], or for more sources at once [1, 2]. Order of items follows the order of first appearances of references in text. Please, do not omit any reference in the bibliography list and state all the data necessary for its identification properly at every item.
