The subjects of the Institute of Transport Research comprise both mobility and transport as well as other aspects that are important to people in this respect. A high degree of mobility is an important prerequisite for a developed economy and provides for individual freedom. The transport industry contributes a decisive part towards economic success nowadays. |

Mobility is of great significance in the economy and society. People want to reach their destination comfortably and swiftly, goods have to be transported for long distances in a cost-efficient way. The flip side of the coin emerges in the form of environmental pollution, accidents and endless traffic jams. They design, develop and evaluate solutions in interdisciplinary teams for driver assistance, traffic registration and influencing as well as for rail safety, automation and rail traffic management. |

The oceans are a source of life; water is one of the most important natural resources. Coastal zones and inland lakes are among the eco systems most strongly influenced by man. The shelf sea regions form the basis for important industries, such as fishing or raw materials production and tourism. Optical remote exploration permits the measurement of the water colour, the determination of the main bio-ecological parameters of the water bodies, such as the chlorophyll content, algae bloom, suspended particles and primary biological production and thus the carbon sequestration of the oceans. |
