The approximately 40 devices in the Collection of Transport Science came primarily from the
University of Transportation (founded in 1952), which, in the wake of a reorganisation, was
incorporated into the TU Dresden as its own faculty. The devices include some car models,
measuring instruments, rail network maps and an example of the first ticket machine from
the 1980s.
The Railway Operation Laboratory is a railway test facility for the mapping of operational and
safety processes as well as traffic management. It is used for training and research for opera-
tional and safety engineering tasks. It is mainly used in the context of practical lessons and
research in the Transport Engineering academic program. The collection includes track
systems, interlocking and block technology, control technology, model railway vehicles as well
as a model railway at a scale of 1:87.
