At the IVV the focus is on the common foundations for all means of transport and the cross-modal issues of transport planning and traffic engineering.
In traffic planning, methods and procedures with interdisciplinary references are developed as part of the overarching spatial planning. The focus is on the causes and effects of mobility and accessibility, as well as integrating strategies for climate-resilient traffic management.
Traffic engineering considers the fundamentals of traffic flow and the performance of transportation facilities. This is complemented by a comprehensive engagement with modern traffic control technologies, traffic information systems, and the collection, processing, and evaluation of traffic data. The focus is on disruptive mobility and the influence of artificial intelligence.
