New Medias in Public Transport
Following initial trials by various German transport operators, the first tram in Leipzig to offer a full TV service has been running since May. Spearheaded by tram and bus company LVB, the system combines a cleverly devised editorial approach with the latest transmission and broadcasting technology. By late autumn, many of LVBís trams are set to be showing programmes 24 hours a day.

Studie zeigt Voraussetzungen und Möglichkeiten
Summary
Cargo-tram in the city of Erfurt?
To deploy a cargo-tram as backbone of a city-logistics concept that aims at combining the supply of inner-city retail outlets with the collection of recyclable materials is currently the subject of a feasibility study in the city of Erfurt. The study comprises the definition of technical requirements, operating concept, as well as an evaluation of the economic feasibility and impact on employment together with an estimation of the scale of acceptance to be expected. First results prove that the technical features of such a concept constitute no fundamental difficulties.

Aktuelle Urteile zur Nachprüfung von Vergabeverfahren
Summary
Court decisions in respect of public procurement of transport contracts
Since the new and strict public procurement law came into force in 1999, which gave the bidder important rights to sue the public contractor, several court decisions were made. They treated the problem of the qualification of public transport contracts as a service contract in contrary to a contract about subsidies or concessions, the choice of the procurement procedure, the essential elements of a public transport net, and the necessary contents of the description of the transport service contract.

Innovative Verkehrssysteme auf Basis der Omnibustechnologie
Summary
Bus tramways as a new system
Innovative transportation systems on the basis of bus technology offer themselves as a key technology for an optimal organization of traffic concerning the flexible and lasting satisfaction of the mobility demands under ecological, economic and operational aspects. These systems which are built in bimodal form regarding both driving mechanism and quiding system and which are designated as bus tramways join the flexibility of the public service bus with the advantages of the tramway system.

Erfahrungen mit modernen Schweißtechniken im Schienenfahrzeugbau bei Alstom-LHB
Summary
Reliable Aluminium Welding
The demands on material and processing of vehicles for public transportation are high. A new welding system proceeds the utilization of aluminium. Twice up to three times higher welding speed without loss of quality is reached by the use of the so-called T.I.M.E.-Twin-process at Alstom LHB, Salzgitter. Reasonable features due to increasing processing progress are highly qualified welding staff, optimal use of welding machines and a strictly quality-management control.

Summary
Production of Grooved Rails
The rolling of grooved rails demands special care in order to fulfill the demands of the clients of the local traffic. The requirements made on tolerances and the condition of surface have become greater and greater these past years because the speed and the travel comfort also increase continuously. Attention is equally made on the characteristics of use, especially the degree of wear within the rails and the weldability of the rails.

Anruf-Linientaxi Rosenthal-Marburg: Konzeption und Umsetzung
Summary
Better Development of Transport Potentials in the Rural Region
The conception for the ALT in the region beetween Marburg and Frankenberg has
shown that in spite of a disperse settlement structure a relativley high share of modal split can be reached. This could be stabilized by an expansion strategy based on a solid analysis of space and and public transport structure. Based on a offensive marketing strategy the rentability of this private public transport offer could be expected in spite of the actual conditions of transport market in Germany respectivley the EU.

Ziele und Perspektiven aus Sicht des Münchner Verkehrsverbundes
Summary
Public Transport in a liberalized market
Competition in road-related public transport is neither a threat nor a remedy. Up to now, tenders in the Munich public transport system have revealed favourable effects on public transport. In a liberalized market it is essential to harmonize the diverging interests of the participants in public transport. The joint local political authorities are apt to fulfill this task. In future, it is also essential to take into consideration the growing influence of the local political authorities and to reengineer the financing structures of public transport in order to guarantee a sufficient financial supply in view of the rules of the EC.

Nahverkehrspläne stärken ►
Landkreise fordern Änderungen der Rechtsgrundlagen für den ÖPNV
Summary
Strengthening of Local Traffic Plans
The amendment of the German Law on Public Transit has set the task to the public transit to satisfy the needs relative to the transport of the population without giving to the
bodies responsible the necessary scope. Moreover, there are considerable uncertainties and even contradictions between the European and national legal bases for the public transit. All this aggravates for the districts as bodies responsible to offer to the population sufficient public transit services at the most cost-effective costs. Therefore, the amendment of the EC-directive 1191 should be used to harmonize the legal bases and to strengthen the rights of the bodies responsible.

Verbünde: Wettbewerbsnachteil für Verkehrsunternehmen? ►
Wie Kooperationen aus Sicht der Unternehmen aussehen sollten
Summary
Transport Associations and the Competitivity of the Transport Enterprises
The article deals with the relation between the transport enterprises and the transport associations. The author comes to the result that the associations are and will essentially be above all a cooperation of transport enterprises. Associations are a result of the diversity of enterprises which is intended especially in view of the future competition. Even on conditions of competition, associations are reasonable and feasible. But the enterprises must have the possibility to use the competences of their enterprise and to accentuate their profile within the associations. This is possible with good will, understanding for the new role of the enterprises and structures and rules of the game adapted to this role and this serves in the end the efficiency of the system of transport associations.

The article describes several steps as parts of the risk-management-system in the Aken Transport Society Aseag and the way of successful implementation of the system and the process of risk-management in this enterprise.
