PTV Scientific Advisory Board

PTV Group’s mission is to always keep abreast of technology and market needs. We are committed to readying our suite of transportation modeling and logistics optimization software for the challenges of today and tomorrow.

In the PTV Scientific Advisory Board we engage with researchers from around the world to discuss latest modeling trends, research results, and the potential for turning these into robust software tools for professionals. The Board comprises eight members, each a thought-leading expert in a topic area. To ensure that topics across all of PTV Group’s fields of activity are covered, members are appointed for at most two years, and half of the topics are replaced by new ones every year. Fresh thinking is more important than long-time usage of our software: We intentionally cast our net farther than what our products currently cover, so we can identify opportunities for expansion into new application areas.
