DTU Transport offers research-based Public Sector Consultancy on infrastructure, socioeconomics, transport policy, and transport safety. Likewise, we answer model-related questions about traffic and transport planning.
We primarily offer consultancy to the Ministry of Transport with which we have signed a Contract about Public Sector Consultancy. Furthermore, we offer Public Sector Consultancy to the Ministry of Justice and to the Danish National Police as well as to business organizations. An important part of this service was previously carried out by the Danish Transport Research Institute (DTF), which was part of the Ministry of Transport until the end of 2006 and which is now part of DTU Transport.
One of the regular consultancy tasks is the continuous collection of information on the transport behaviour of the Danes in the Survey of Transport Behaviour (TU). Another is the Modelcenter that is creating a common national basis for data and models within the field of transport.
Furthermore, DTU Transport’s researchers are members of a number of committees and commissions, including the Accident Investigation Board, the Traffic Safety Board, the Danish Road Standard Committee, the Board of Statistics on Road Traffic Accidents, as well as socioeconomic project and steering groups.
In addition, DTU Transport carries out a number of projects for the authorities. Thus, the department has contributed with
• forecasts and professional evaluations for the Danish Infrastructure Commission
• new time values for socioeconomic analyses of infrastructure projects
• updating of the OTM used for analyses of the Metro Cityring (light rail in Copenhagen)
• analysis of the characteristics of drunk drivers
• evaluation of the transport safety-related consequences of 130 km/h on highways
