3 Introduction universities in Germany Austria Switzerland Branches: Railway system Railway operation Railway infrastructure Railway vehicle Others: LRT urban transport source: [1] 3

4 Introduction " tradition of transport engineering education since middle of the 19. century; part of civil engineering and machinery " another important tradition: graduation as Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.) " do we need Bachelors of Engineering? " BEng. may join Master courses to become MSc. of Engineering " differences of state law (Bundesländer) 4

5 Principles of education " interaction of national and international research and teaching " high valuable laboratories for research and operation enable a strong link to practice and reality " engineering institutes mostly maintain contracts with customers of in railway enterpries and railway industry; often students are involved to the contracted workload " graduates are prepared for a large range of professional opportunities 5

6 Subject: Railway system Elements/main research: " system integration " operation management " risk and safety analysis of transportation systems " urban rail systems " information systems of public transport " automation systems " marketing for passenger and freight transport 6

7 Subject: Infrastructure Elements/main research: " track design " construction and maintenance of tracks, points, bridges, tunnels " new technologies of superstructures (e.g. Feste Fahrbahn) " noise protection " power supply " traction power (electricity) " interaction between delivery, consumption and storage (line vehicle interaction) (energy management) " electric power systems for local elements " construction and assembling management Prof. Jochen Trinckauf: German railway engineering education 7

8 Subject: Infrastructure Elements/main research: " railway signalling " old fassion systems " electronic interlocking " ATP (e.g. ERTMS/ETCS) " ATO " risk and safety analysis " safety case " telecommunication systems " SPADA " security and availability in open networks for railway application " passenger information systems " passenger screen doors " level crossing " construction site warning systems Prof. Jochen Trinckauf: German railway engineering education 8

9 Subject: Vehicle Elements/main research: " acoustics " safety " energy management " maintenance " dynamics " power technology " life cycle cost " engine, gear and break " bogy " interaction rail wheel 9

11 Technische Universität Dresden Course of studies (related to railways): " Transport Engineering " Railway System Engineering " Transport Economics " Mechatronics " Mechanical Engineering " Civil Engineering " Electrical Engineering Expertise: " large range of all railway engineering and science branches (operation, system technology, signalling, track design, vehicle modelling, electric systems, risk, safety, security) 11

12 Technische Universität Dresden " Studies lead to the graduation " Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing) " Railway System Engineering, too " Railway System Engineering " open for a Master Course (MSc. Engineering) " technical graduation is requested for application " Postgradual training courses are available " one week duration " two weeks duration 12
