Abstract

In 1998, a new partnership for transport research was founded in Germany's central region Frankfurt RheinMain by major transport authorities and operators, involving partners from industry and consultancy, and supported by the Hessen State Government. This ZIV is an institute at Darmstadt University of Technology, and improves the exchange between research and practice. The article provides organisational details of this public private partnership. The ZIV working areas cover Transport Infrastructure and Traffic Management, Traffic Engineering and Traffic Control, Public Transport, Organisational Concepts for Traffic Management and Mobility Services, Railway Systems and Railway Engineering, and Navigation and Positioning Systems. For each of these areas, basic intentions in research and some project examples are presented. This may also allow some view on the current status of transport research in Germany.
