The Austrian Research Association for Roads, Railways and Transport (Forschungsgesellschaft Straße-Schiene-Verkehr, FSV) as standards writing organization is mainly working in creating and editing guidelines and regulations in the fields of transportation and infrastructure.
As a consequence, some RVS are also offered in English language, translations into English are going on.
FSV-Transportation Day is Austrians most important event dealing with traffic and transport infrastructure and takes place every year in Vienna. It is a favourite of experts and is attended by a great number of transportation decision makers, offering an ideal platform for both exchanging knowledge and networking.
The FSV has developed an approval procedure and a certification for corrosion protection systems. For international companies the basic RVS 15.05.11 for corrosion protection of bridges with steel or aluminium structures has been translated and is available in the shop.
Since some years the executive committee of Austrian Research Association for Roads, Railways and Transport has decided to translate guidelines (RVS/RVE) from German to English.
In January 2021 the Austrian Research Association for Roads, Railways and Transport has presented a new Dictionary Transportation & Infrastructure German-English, English-German with more than 6.000 translated terms from German to English taken from the Guidelines for Planning, Construction and Maintenance of Roads (RVS) and their additional publications. The translation of transportation specific terms is standardized with this dictionary for the use in future international projects and processes.
Together with the Austrian Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology, the Austrian Research Association for Roads, Railways and Transport (FSV) presents the FSV-Award yearly in November in order to encourage university graduates.
We give them the opportunity to present their work to a bigger audience and receive some financial compensation if their work is worthy of the award.
The FSV was taking part of the World Road Congress 2023 in Prague, Czech Republic. The WRC was hold between 2nd and 6th October 2023.
