Centre for Logistics & Traffic

The structures and processes of our economic and social systems are becoming more and more complex. The increasing degree of complexity displayed by these systems is closely related, both on a global and regional scale, to the process known as “urbanization”. Sustainable development places central demands on the internal dynamics of these anthropogenic systems. This has enormous consequences − in particular for the planning, processing and control of the flows of materials, passengers, energy and information (logistics) and for the shaping of effective infrastructures. It also places high demands on research that prides itself on being interdisciplinary and international.

The Centre for Logistics & Traffic (ZLV) is devoted to the interdisciplinary design, management and transfer of scientific studies in the areas of logistics, mobility and traffic (as well as the scientific disciplines relevant to these studies, currently representing no fewer than seven different faculties).
