Ullrich Martin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ullrich Martin (born April 21, 1963 in Merseburg ) is a German transport scientist . Since 2002 he has succeeded Gerhard Heimerl as director of the Transport Science Institute (VWI) at the University of Stuttgart .

Life

After finishing school, Martin completed an apprenticeship as a skilled worker for rail transport technology at the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) from 1981 . He then studied transport technology from 1984 to 1989 at the "Friedrich List" University of Transport in Dresden . After completing his studies, he worked again from 1989 onwards at DR as the first person in charge of the “Principles of Operations Service” in the Reich Railway Directorate in Halle and from 1994 also at DB Netz AG .

In 1992, Martin moved to the Institute for Railway Engineering and Traffic Safety at the TU Braunschweig , where he received his doctorate in 1995 on the evaluation of train and shunting runs in scheduling. He then moved to IPM GmbH as a project engineer. Among other things, he was responsible for the control and safety technology on the Stendal – Uelzen railway line as part of VDE project no . In 1998 he was appointed to the professorship for traffic engineering and traffic systems technology at the University of Leipzig .

As the successor to Gerhard Heimerl, who had headed the Transport Science Institute since 1975, Martin was initially appointed to his professorship for railways and public transport in 2001, as well as director of the Institute for Railways and Transport. A year later he also took over from Heimerl as director of the Institute for Transport Science. Also in 2002, Martin became the founding representative of the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

In 2004 Martin became a member of the Saxon Academy of Sciences in Leipzig . In the same year he was appointed as an expert at the Federal Court of Justice, and in June 2014 he was appointed as a technical expert in the field of rail transport by the German accreditation body .

From 2009 to 2011 Martin was Dean of Faculty 2 (Civil and Environmental Engineering) at the University of Stuttgart.

research

In addition to the cross-mode of transport system design with special emphasis on public transport and the railroad , Martin also works in the field of railway operation and safety technology. At the University of Stuttgart, his core areas are the macroeconomic evaluation and assessment of transport infrastructure investments, business studies for infrastructure and for operation and vehicle use, capacity studies and studies of the performance of rail and air transport systems (including Pragsattel Stuttgart , Stuttgart Airport), operational planning and Schedule design in public transport, model and software development for planning, evaluation and operational control systems as well as conceptual planning of routes, stations and networks.

From 2006 to 2012, the focus of his research was on improving operational quality and performance in rail transport, partly on behalf of DB Netze AG . His research project RUBIK (2011/2012) on securing connections and passenger information for regional bus traffic served to make the system of real-time information and dynamic passenger information already successfully introduced in urban areas practicable in rural areas as well.

Position on Stuttgart 21

Martin made a name for himself as a proponent of Stuttgart 21 and, among other things , advocated the construction of the new Stuttgart railway junction as an expert in the public hearing of the Bundestag on November 10, 2010. In the same function, he also took part in the arbitration talks for the construction of Stuttgart 21 and assessed the project's performance positively.

The institute headed by Martin has also prepared various studies for the project on behalf of Deutsche Bahn AG. Critics complain, among other things, of the holding times of one to two minutes assumed in the performance and performance behavior study of the planned main station that he co-authored. The Federal Railway Authority (EBA) doubted as part of the planning approval process, whether the performance of the station Stuttgart Airport / Messe is sufficient. According to the EBA, the optimal performance range of 16 to 18 trains per hour determined in an expert opinion by Martin in 2008 is “in no way drivable and plannable”, the determined performance is “extremely borderline”. The office considered a more extensive consideration necessary.
