Booklet - Our Activities and Aims The “Österreichische Forschungsgesellschaft Straße - Schiene - Verkehr” (FSV) – the Austrian Research Association for Roads, Railways and Transport – has a very long history. It was founded in 1950 as a specialised subgroup of the Austrian Association of Engineers and Architects under the name “Forschungsgesellschaft für das Straßenwesen“ (Roadway Research Association). In the 1980s, the scope of the group’s activities expanded and subsequently came to include oversight of roads and transportation. In our booklet, you can read more about our activities and aims.
