IVU TRAFFIC TECHNOLOGIES AG 
By
Dr Scholz was chief software architect of IVU Traffic
Technologies AG for many years, specialising in the
development of IT solutions for public transport. The
practical experience gained from his daily work has found
its way into the book. The final product is a comprehensive
volume which for the first time brings together practical
and theoretical expertise from the transport sector and
computer sciences. A key contribution is the detailed
analysis and extensive modelling of numerous operational
processes in public transport as a basis for their
integration in IT systems. Using UML modelling language, a
domain model is developed for bus and rail transport which
integrates the core business processes with a class model
as the basis for the architecture of the IT systems and
their networking. All the activities of a transport company
are dealt with in detail - from planning and dispatching
vehicles and crews through the control and monitoring of
fleets during operations to comprehensive passenger
information and ticketing and the settlement for services
provided.
"Public transport networks are important for the
development of towns and cities, and with increasing
urbanisation, the logistical challenges are constantly
growing. Without powerful IT systems, it is no longer to
meets these demands effectively," explains Dr Scholz.
"Therefore it was necessary to bring together the expertise
from both sectors in order to create a common standard for
the sustainable development of public transport". The book
has been written for a broader readership, and not
exclusively for software engineers, the author explains. It
is suitable for university teachers and students of
transport engineering or computer sciences, and equally
also for actors in the public transport sector and users of
the relevant IT systems. The intention is to present the
complex interrelationships in public transport clearly and
understandably, but without losing sight of the necessary
detail, concludes Dr Scholz.

IVU Traffic Technologies AG has been working for more than
thirty years with some 300 engineers to ensure that
transport in the world's major cities operates reliably and
on time. People and vehicles in expanding cities are
continually on the move - a logistical challenge which
calls for intelligent and reliable software systems. The
standardised software products of the IVU.suite and
tailor-made IT solutions are used to plan, optimise and
control the scheduling of vehicle fleets and personnel,
support the choice of branch locations and ensure that
election results are determined correctly.
