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.
PIARC and FSV are partners in spreading new knowledge, experiences and developments in fields of transportation and infrastructure. In September 2021 the newsletter N ° 99 by PIARC was sent to its readers.
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.
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.
