ZIV was founded as a limited company whose shareholders are the Regional Public Transportation Authority, the Frankfurt Airport Authority, and the Association for Promoting Integrated Traffic and Transport Systems. It has a scientific advisory board of 12 professors. Describes current research activities, which fall into transport infrastructure and management, traffic engineering and traffic control, public transport, organizational concepts for traffic management and mobility services, railway systems, and navigation and positioning systems.
