Completed Student Research Projects
Did you know...
...that on federal highways, the peak hours on weekdays are much less extreme than in the past and the traffic volume is now more constant throughout the day?
...company mobility management should be specifically geared toward the work environment, since activities before and after work have little influence on the mode of transportation chosen to and from work?
...there is a direct correlation between transport choice and satisfaction with transport systems?
...a more comprehensive understanding of the urban mobility environment can be attained through a multifaceted approach involving the use of specific instruments (e.g., mobility barometers), application of transportation behavior surveys, and the extensive involvement of relevant stakeholders.
...mobility behavior can be specifically recorded and analyzed over a longer period of time with the aid of mobile devices (GPS tracking)?
These are some examples of findings from student projects in the research field of Mobility Behavior and Transport Planning.

Did you know...
...a large proportion of accidents in the city of Dresden are caused by unintentional red light violations?
...accidents resulting in serious personal injury on rural roundabouts are often due to the delayed recognition of the roundabout by drivers?
...clear separation between a sidewalk and a bike path allows for increased passing speeds for cyclists?
...the perceived safety of pedestrians is most strongly influenced by the type of separation between pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and a clear structural separation is considered to be the safest?
...at intersections in Dresden with direct left turns, more accidents involving cyclists occur than at intersections with indirect left turns?
...with current automated video surveillance, vehicles can be counted with up to 95% accuracy?
These are some examples of findings from student projects in the research field of Quality and Safety in Road Traffic.
