Research topics and focal points

  • Cycling - collection, plausibility check and evaluation of GPS data as a planning tool
  • Cycling traffic planning and analysis of cycling behavior
  • Safety in cycling traffic
  • Electric and micromobility - life cycle analysis of mobility systems
  • Emissions in road traffic - collection of measurement data with particulate matter and noise measuring devices on mobile measurement carriers

Research projects

Current research projects

  • Cycling behavior in Germany RiD. Comparative analysis of cycling behavior in German cities using GPS trajectories from the STADTRADELN campaign. Funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) as part of a research grant. Together with Dr. Iryna Okhrin and Dr. Stefan Huber. 2023-2025.
  • MOVE:ON - Cycling data for Germany. App-supported collection and evaluation of cycling data in Germany. Together with the cooperation partners flow.d GmbH and Klima-Bündnis e.V., route data is collected as part of the STADTRADELN campaign. Research contents are the conception of a panel evaluation and the extrapolation of the collected data to the average daily (DTV) bicycle traffic volume of a year. BMDV 01/2022 - 12/2024. >>Project coordinator<<

Completed research projects

  • Space2Ride - Measurement of lateral overtaking distances to cyclists. In the city of Leipzig, together with the cooperation partner Dashfactory GmbH, the lateral overtaking distances to cyclists are measured using a dashcam. Critical infrastructure combinations will then be analyzed and the risk of close overtaking will be modeled across the network. The project is funded by the BMVI as part of the mFUND initiative. 2021-2022 >>Project coordinator<<
  • SCONE - Usability of e-scooter usage data. Cooperation project with the Chair of Traffic and Transportation Psychology and Cyface GmbH. In the study area of the city of Dresden, source and destination traffic volumes of electric scooters are collected. Source-destination pairings are then routed to predict network occupancy and compared with real test drives. The project is funded by the BMVI as part of the mFUND initiative. 2021-2022.

  • E-WIN - Efficient winter service on cycling facilities in German cities using the example of the city of Hamburg. Sub-project evaluation, funded on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure, from funds for the implementation of the National Cycling Plan (NRVP). In cooperation with the Chairs of Traffic and Transportation Psychology at TU Dresden and the Hamburg City Cleaning Department. 2019-2022 >>Sub-project coordinator<<

  • mFUND MOVEBIS - Evaluation of crowdsourced data to improve municipal bicycle infrastructure. Project coordination, on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure, in cooperation with the Chair of Computer Networks and the Climate Alliance, 2017-2020. >>Project coordinator<<

  • IntegRADtion - Integration on two wheels. Evaluation and further development of integrative cycling measures for people with migration experience in Germany (2018-2020). The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) from funds for the implementation of the National Cycling Plan (NRVP).

  • Evaluation of the bike sharing scheme in Copenhagen. Contract research for Donkey Republic. (2020-2021) >>Project coordinator<<

  • RadVerS - Behavioral data generated with smartphones in traffic - differentiation of user behavior of different cyclist groups. 2018-2019 The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) from funds for the implementation of the National Cycling Plan (NRVP). >>Project coordinator<<
  • Behavioral data generated with smartphones in cycling - usability review and development of an evaluation guide for stakeholders in cycling planning, TU Dresden, Chair of Transport Ecology, 2015 -2017. The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) from funds for the implementation of the National Cycling Plan (NRVP) >>Project Coordinator<<
  • Master plan campus design, sub-project: Development and orientation, in cooperation with the Institute of Landscape Architecture, commissioned by the University Executive Board of TU Dresden, 2018.
  • EmiLippe - Electromobility in Lippe - Development of an ecological evaluation approach for SmartGrid solutions and mobility management approaches, TU Dresden, District of Lippe, 2016.
  • eCarsharing for commercial customers (Schaufenster Elektromobilität); study commissioned by the BMWi with Stadtmobil Hannover and Ernst & Young Stuttgart, TU Dresden, Chair of Transport Ecology, 2013 - 2015.
  • EBALD Electromobility in waste management areas of the City of Dresden (Electromobility Showcase) Study commissioned by the SMWAV with the Chair of Communication Acoustics (Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, TUD), Stadtreinigung Dresden GmbH and HTW Dresden, Chair of Transport Ecology, TU Dresden, 2013 - 2015.
  • ENUBA 2 The Friedrich List Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences at TU Dresden, together with Siemens AG, Infrastructure and Cities Sector, Mobility and Logistics Division, is researching the possibilities for the electrification of heavy goods vehicle traffic on trunk roads.
  • Traffic forecasts in Saxony; study commissioned by the BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN parliamentary group in the Saxon state parliament, TU Dresden, Chair of Transport Ecology, 2013.
