DTV-Verkehrsconsult GmbH will also be represented at the 2nd National Road Safety Conference. The speaker Aleksandra Pušica, M.Sc. will discuss the frequency of smartphone use in road traffic, which was surveyed as part of a research project by the Federal Highway Research Institute (FE 82.0749/2020).
October 2023: Reinforcement in the management team
DTV-Verkehrsconsult is pleased to welcome Mr Kay Weltring as a new colleague since 01.10.2023. Mr Weltring graduated from RWTH Aachen University in 2014 with a degree in industrial engineering in the field of civil engineering and subsequently worked as a site manager in road construction and civil engineering.
In 2015, he then switched to the field of traffic telematics. As a project engineer and sales manager, he developed, supervised and implemented a wide range of traffic technology projects. In addition to traffic data collection, the focus was on telematic parking, dynamic axle load measurements (WIM), parking guidance systems and various traffic control systems.
We look forward to working together in the management team.

September 2023: Table Soccer Tournament in Pascalstraße
For the first time this year, we invited to the table soccer tournament Pascalstraße. A total of 11 teams from six companies on Pascalstraße competed against each other in the courtyard of DTV Verkehrsconsult under the rules of the Swiss system in beautiful weather and a great atmosphere.
Team 1 from Bauer und Kirch ultimately won the tournament.
With the weather god and Lady Luck on their side, they were simply the best on this day – although many of the games in the preliminary round were well-balanced.
After the finals, we had a beer and a “stadium sausage” to round off the tournament. We think all participants had a lot of fun and hope for a repeat next year!

Oktober 2022: Excellence in Road Safety Awards – European Award for FeGiS+
Our FeGiS+ project (early detection of road hazards through smart data), led by the Safe Roads Initiative, was awarded the “Excellence in Road Safety Awards” in the category “Technology – best application of technology for road safety” by the European Commission in Brussels.
About us
DTV-Verkehrsconsult is an independent, innovative R&D engineering consultancy with the main focus on road traffic. We have our roots in traffic data analysis, which still remains a key aspect today. Expressed in simple words:
Innovation counts
For this we use the most modern automatic counting techniques that we also test and verify in pilot applications on behalf of device manufacturers. Besides traditional induction loops we use the (side) -radar technology, Bluetooth and WiFi as well as video analysis using license plate recognition. And we also conduct surveys and individualized interviews manually.
The analysis of these data in terms of the desired traffic characteristics is our “bread and butter”. Determining the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT, in German; DTV) is THE key value, to which we have dedicated our company name.
Since our founding in 2004, we analyse traffic data. Our specialist knowledge in the interpretation of traffic volumes, traffic composition, lane distributions and speed, daily, weekly and annual fluctuations we put to use in the design of short and long time counts, as well as in permanent counts. Thus we can ensure the highest quality standards. Our analysis, secures a comprehensive and neutral view of the traffic situation. This analysis can be used to support planning applications.
We provide our special knowledge particularly to highway authorities, unity authorities, universities and other public authorities. We also support private organisations at home and abroad. Besides Germany we have so far worked on projects in Austria, Switzerland, Poland and Israel.
Today our company employs 11 permanent employees, with four traffic engineers. In addition we provide an apprenticeship training position for a mathematic-technical-software developer. Research fellows from the RWTH Aachen University as well as from the FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences support our work. Since the automatic data processing got more and more challenging over the last years we are now proud to have an effective IT-team with four dedicated software developers in our company. Our IT-team is also supported by trainees and student assistants.
One of our first projects consisted of the analysis and evaluation of the nationwide German Road Traffic Census 2005. Based on the experience gained during this work we developed the counting technology of the “Traffic Monitoring” in cooperation with the German federal state of Baden-Württemberg. Instead of a manual counts with in traffic monitoring counting devise based on side – radar technology are used which are in place for at least a week and then transferred to the next location.
Initially traffic data is usually collected and analysed for statistical issues. Beyond that it is used as an essential basis for various questions. In short these are the fields of operation and traffic planning, road safety and accident research. The improvement of traffic safety is on the one hand supported by systematic analyses of the accidents which occur. On the other hand methods aiming at accident prevention also play an essential role.
With the innovative data and analyses platform of the “Traffic Safety Screening” in Baden-Württemberg we were nominated for the DEKRA Award 2015 in the traffic category.
