Faculty of Transport Science "Friedrich List"

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gerhart-Potthoff-Bau is the main building of the faculty

The Faculty of Transport Science "Friedrich List" is a transport science research and teaching facility in the form of a faculty of the Technical University of Dresden . It emerged from the University of Transportation in 1992 and, when Dresden universities such as the Carl Gustav Carus University Hospital Dresden were merged, retained their name in honor of the economist and railway pioneer Friedrich List .

history

The faculty emerged from the University of Transport (HfV) founded in 1949, which was dissolved on September 30, 1992.

The new faculty took over part of the university's human and material resources; the other part went to the University of Technology and Economics . Students of the HfV were able to complete their studies at the new faculty.

The establishment of the faculty was provided for in the Saxon Higher Education Structure Act of April 10, 1992. The faculty was founded in a ceremony on November 6, 1992. The ceremony was attended by railway boss Heinz Dürr .

At the newly founded faculty, the degree course traffic engineering was offered with the specializations traffic planning and traffic engineering , traffic system engineering and logistics , electrical traffic systems as well as traffic process automation and communication systems . In addition, the faculty was involved in the interdisciplinary courses in mechanical engineering (specialization in constructive mechanical engineering ), civil engineering (specialization in transport engineering ) and economics (in business and transport ). In December 1990 the Saxon state government decided to set up a course in economics and transport .

Under the founding dean Günter Hertel , the faculty initially had eight professorships at the end of 1992. After completion of the appointment procedure, 30 professorships should be filled, which should be divided into four departments . According to another source, around 38 professorships, 12 lectureships and 145 other employee positions were available when the company was founded. Around 2,300 students were enrolled at the time it was founded (TU-wide: 19,300). In 1994 the faculty had eleven institutes.

In the winter semester 1993/94, the eight-semester diploma course in traffic management was started.

In 1994 around 40 students began studying traffic engineering. In 1996 the number of freshmen in this course was around 100.

In the 2010/11 winter semester, around 200 students were enrolled in the Transport Engineering course and around 120 students in the Transport Economics bachelor course. Around 60 students began the master’s degree in transportation and around 20 began the master’s degree in railway systems engineering.

In the so-called “future concept” of the university, the faculty was classified in the cross-faculty area “Construction and Environment”.

Buildings and facilities

The Gerhart-Potthof-Bau, built in 1952, still bears the lettering University for Transport above the entrance today

The main building of the faculty is the Gerhart-Potthoff-Bau in Dresden's Südvorstadt .

The building was constructed between 1953 and 1956 and comprises 7,200 square meters of office, teaching and work space. Until the opening of the lecture hall center with the new Audimax in 1998, the lecture hall POT 81 with around 500 seats was the largest on the campus of the Technical University.

In addition, several chairs for transport economics are based in the Falkenbrunnen office building, as well as the Institute for Transport Telematics in the so-called "A building" on Andreas-Schubert-Straße.

Integrated Railway Laboratory (IEL)

The integrated railway laboratory consists of three parts. The best known of these is the railway operations laboratory , but it also includes the safety laboratory , the superstructure exhibition and the signal garden .

Railway Operations Laboratory (EBL)

The history of the railway operations laboratory goes back to 1963 when the "Technological Laboratory of Railway Transport " (TLE) was set up at the University of Transport (HfV) in the central institute building (today HTW Dresden ). In the 80-meter-long and 10-meter-wide room on the top floor of the building, 385 m of track in H0 gauge were laid, including 155 m of double-track. In addition to two mechanical interlockings , four electromechanical and three relay interlockings , an electronic interlocking was also put into operation for teaching purposes, which was donated by Siemens Transportation Systems for 1.5 million D-Marks and which was also used to train the company's engineers. The ESTW handed over in January 1994 comprises 44 control elements ( switches , signals ) and was the first electronic interlocking for training purposes at a German university.

The move to the basement of today's faculty building in Hettnerstrasse took place between 1999 and 2001. The facility has been called the railway operations laboratory ever since . On the 600 m² and 1,300 m track layout, the train traffic is reproduced on a 260 km long network with five stations and 185 points. The assumed length scale is 1: 200 - deviating from the H0 scale 1:87. The time scale, however, is 1: 1, although it is possible to run the clocks more slowly. It is controlled by ten real interlockings from all eras, from mechanical to electronic interlockings . It is the world's largest model railway for teaching purposes .

Safety laboratory (SIL)

The safety technology laboratory (SIL) supervised by the professorship for traffic safety technology offers the possibility of examining procedures and processes in safety technology on original systems and components, which is not easily possible in real railway operations. A wide range of original safety technology is available in the SIL. The systems and components available here are primarily used to demonstrate and carry out internships, but experiments for research are also carried out here.

Upper structure exhibition

Part of the superstructure exhibition at the Gerhart-Potthoff-Bau

The superstructure exhibition is supervised by the professorship for the design of railway systems. The site is located on an approx. 400 m² open space next to the faculty building, where a large number of exhibits from modern and historical superstructures are on display.

Signal garden

A signal garden was set up at the end of November 2015, initially with two and from the end of 2017 four signals.

System laboratory for track-bound vehicles

Numerous machines are kept in this laboratory that are of crucial importance for the rail system. With the sliding converter and the synchronous-synchronous converter , important machines for railway power supply are available. A DC machine , which can also be operated as a train motor , represents the old state of traction motors. The modern type of traction is covered with a test stand for three-phase drive technology, consisting of an original subway drive and converters . In addition, there is a test stand with a diesel engine and a hydrodynamic gearbox that can work against a generator and a brake shaft. Furthermore, two pantographs (original size), a driving simulator and important components of the overhead contact line are available.

Flight simulation laboratory

At the Institute for Aviation and Logistics there is a (non-movable) flight simulator on which the cockpit of an Airbus A320 is simulated.

Transport science days

In addition to various conferences of individual institutes, the Faculty has been organizing the Transport Science Days every two to three years since 1998, a specialist conference covering all areas of transport science. Similar conferences were organized by the University of Transport between 1954 and 1989.

Student representation

The "Friedrich List" student representative council for traffic sciences is the student representative of the faculty. This was founded on October 1st, 1992 with the integration of the faculty into the TU Dresden.

Her predecessor was the student council of the University of Transport. This was created in 1989/90. The first democratic elections were held on October 1, 1990. In addition to the student council, there were further section spokespersons for individual faculties. In 1992 the student body named itself “Friedrich List Student Union”. Together with the HfV, its existence ended on September 30, 1992. From 1994 to 2002 the student council temporarily published the List-Express magazine ( ZDB -ID 2461758-1 ).

The student council is elected for one year. These elections usually take place with further university-wide elections in November each year. Between 1992 and 1995 the traffic sciences student council consisted of 15 members. The number was then increased to 20 members. The student council maintains an office in the Potthoff building and meets every week to two weeks during the lecture period. To represent the students in the committees, he has the right to send representatives to the student council of the TU Dresden, to the study committees and to the institute councils. Only the representatives of the faculty council and the student senators are elected directly by the students.

Further tasks of the FSR Verkehr are to support the students and student initiatives of the faculty. He works with traffic science associations, the so-called "cunning associations" and organizes events. In addition to these tasks, he maintains national and international relationships, such as at the Federal Student Council on Transport.

A special feature of the student council is the high voter turnout. From 2004 to 2014 this student body achieved the highest voter turnout within the TU Dresden every year.
