Research internship at the Center for Technology and Society (ZTG) of the Technical University of Berlin (Germany, Berlin)
From August to October 2021, within the framework of the project “Study of sustainable urban mobility in Central Asia - SUMRICA” (01.2018 – 12.2021), funded by Volkswagen, Ph.D., Associate Professor of the Department of Transportation and Traffic Safety Altybaev Amanbek Sharshenbekovich passed research internship at the Center for Technology and Society (ZTG) of the Technical University of Berlin (Germany, Berlin).
During the internship, I studied the organization of public transport (PT) in Berlin, and as a result presented my results on the topic “Transfer of European innovative approaches to public transport to Bishkek”. The presentation identifies public safety problems in Bishkek, which are one of the main causes of traffic jams and congestion in Bishkek, and suggests some solutions, such as moving minibuses outside the central part of the city (we identified the central part of the city), identifying a point balance, dedicated lines for public transportation (the improvement is proven by a simulation model of the Bishkek road traffic segment), a unified or single ticket for all types of public transportation for one direction of travel (buses, trolleybuses and minibuses), the use of an existing railway as public transportation between cities, starting Tokmok to Kara-Balta at a certain interval, etc. All these measures not only improve the quality, safe and efficient public transport services for the population, but also reduce air pollution.
During the internship there was also a very rich cultural program; I visited many historical places, museums, etc.
April 28, 2022, Department of Transportation and Traffic Safety, Faculty of Transport and Mechanical Engineering, KSTU. I. Razzakov organized a guest lecture on the topic “Current issues of bicycle transport using the example of the city of Karlsruhe (Germany).” The lecture was presented by Jocht Eckart, professor of road ecology at the German Technical University of Karlsruhe.
He introduced the students to the areas of training of specialists at the named university and highlighted the environmental problems that the residents of Germany are dealing with. Particular attention was paid to ways to reduce harmful emissions produced by road traffic flows. As it turns out, one of the solutions to the problem of improving air quality in cities is the widespread use of bicycle transport. This is evidenced by the indicators of scientific research conducted after the implementation of a set of organizational and technical measures related to increasing the physical activity of the population of large cities.
In conclusion, the professor proposed to begin joint scientific cooperation between the two universities in the field of student mobility.

Research internship at the University of Applied Sciences of Karlsruhe (Germany, Karlsruhe)
The Department of "Organization of Transportation and Transport Management" (OTTM) and SPCE HUB have been collaborating since 2022. Thanks to fruitful work, it was possible to establish cooperation with the University of Applied Sciences Karlsruhe, Germany. In 2022, employees of the OTTM department took part in a seminar in the city of Karlsruhe on promoting active mobility in cities. The seminar was attended by representatives of the Philippines, African countries, Canada, Kyrgyzstan and Germany. This project will be officially included after the successful approval of the grant from Baden Württemberg, Germany. In addition, the OTTM department managed to create cooperation with PTV Group. This company is a world leader in traffic flow modeling, and has begun cooperation in studying the route of Kyrgyzstan. It is planned to purchase a license for academic use of traffic flow modeling. This program will allow us to study traffic flows at a high level in the future and offer knowledge and scientific achievements to the Mayor’s Office of our city and the Ministry of Transport and Roads of the Kyrgyz Republic. The trip to the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences involves the exchange of experience in conducting research in the field of active mobility in cities and training, as well as the creation of possible partnerships with the Technical University of Berlin. July 31, 2023, professor of the department of OTTM Atabekov K.K. and Associate Professor of this department Muktarbek uulu Kubat completed a research internship in Berlin, Germany. During this internship, a meeting took place with new partners from TU Berlin. Further cooperation was discussed. It is planned to submit a grant to the German Federal Ministry to promote active mobility in Central Asian countries. Kyrgyzstan is an expert in this project, as we already have experience in implementing active mobility in the city of Bishkek. Agreements have been created on the future development of academic mobility of students with the University of Applied Sciences Karlsruhe, Germany. We agreed on the exchange of students for summer schools for students and academic mobility of teaching staff. Issues of attracting professors to the department are being worked out.
