Peter shape
Peter Form (born January 19, 1931 ) is a German railway and aerospace engineer and university professor.
Life
Form received his doctorate in 1963 from the Technical University of Braunschweig under Hermann Lagershausen . In 1973 he completed his habilitation with Klaus Pierick at the Institute for Railway Engineering and Traffic Safety and was then appointed professor and department head for "Air traffic safety and electronic traffic safety". He worked for 22 years in two special research areas (SFB 58 and 212) and a further six years in a research group of the German Research Foundation ( DFG ). In 1996 he retired.
Form played a key role in the development of linear train control , a system that to this day ensures rail travel, especially in the high-speed range. As a consultant to the German air traffic control and the Federal Ministry of Transport, he played a key role in developing the global standard for airborne collision protection systems ( ACAS / TCAS ) of the International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO ; These collision protection systems can be found in every commercial aircraft today and have significantly increased the safety of air traffic.
