Welcome to the Würzburg Institute for Traffic Sciences (WIVW GmbH)!
Your partner for innovative human factors research in the field of traffic science and individual driving simulation solutions for science and training
The Würzburg Institute for Traffic Sciences looks back on a long tradition of research and development. Since our foundation in 1999 as a spin-off of the Psychological Institute of the University of Würzburg under the direction of Prof. H.-P. Krüger, we have developed into a successful medium-sized company with an interdisciplinary team since 2011 under the leadership of Alexandra Neukum (Managing Director since 2011) and Dr. Armin Kaußner (Managing Director between 2011 - 2017). Our expertise: Research in the field of traffic sciences and driving simulation coming from a single source
- Research Services: We conduct scientific studies on complex traffic psychological research topics and provide our clients with comprehensive advice on the design, implementation, and evaluation of research projects. Our expertise in traffic psychology, engineering, human factors, and computer science enables us to provide in-depth insights into human behavior in traffic and to make sound recommendations for action.
- Driving Simulation: We develop and distribute individual simulation environments (e.g. car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, VR pedestrian simulators) based on our proprietary software SILAB®. SILAB is characterized by a high degree of flexibility and user-friendliness and enables the realistic representation of a wide variety of traffic situations. Our simulation solutions are used for research, education and training.
Through close cooperation with academia and the qualifications of our team, we ensure that our work is always at the cutting edge of science. Our goal is to provide our customers with high quality, innovative solutions that contribute to improving road safety.
We look forward to supporting you in your research and development projects in the field of traffic science or simulation. WIVW GmbH - Your Partner for Innovation and Expertise in Traffic Science
