InnoTrans is the biggest trade fair of the railway industry, in Berlin every two years – not only vehicles and infrastructure companies are present but also planning consultants, timetabling and passenger information systems. Until I have the time to write about this latter group (closer to my research area than vehicles), here are some photos:
