Research & Transfer

The DLR Institute of Transportation Systems contributes to ensuring climate-neutral and sustainable mobility in cities and regions. We research technologies for the intermodally networked and automated transport of the future on road and rail. In interdisciplinary teams in Braunschweig and Berlin, we develop innovative operating concepts and methods for this purpose.

Research topics

Our research at the Institute of Transport Systems Engineering is dedicated to the three areas of road, rail and transport systems. All areas are closely interlinked and are dealt with by several departments.

Projects

Here you will find our current and completed projects in the fields of road, rail and transport systems. We conduct research both nationally and internationally - often together with industrial companies and other research institutions.

Cooperation opportunities

Together with local, German, European and global co-operations, the Institute of Transportation Systems Engineering pursues the goal of conducting joint research. The common vision: to shape the transport of tomorrow.

Research infrastructure

Our research facilities and laboratories interlock like parts of a construction kit. They are available for tests and studies.

Research services

The Institute of Transport Systems Engineering offers various services in the fields of rail, road and transport systems for science and industry.
