MQG Fröhlichgasse- design of traffic management phases, temporary push button system and full traffic light signal system.

MQG Fröhlichgasse Projektentwicklung GmbH is building a 3-storey underground car park incl. parking garage on the former gravel parking area south of the Messe Center Graz and Fröhlichgasse. Superstructure. For the construction of the underground connection of the existing underground car park of exhibition hall A and the future underground car park of the MQG building, two construction phases with use of the street area of Fröhlichgasse are planned.

PLANUM was commissioned with the traffic organization planning of the two traffic management phases, the required VLSA infrastructure and the signal projects for the implementation of the fully traffic-dependent VLSA. In a catalog of measures with overview and detailed plans, all necessary measures for the road operator, Messe Graz, the professional and company fire department and the executing construction company were summarized and divided into categories.

The design of the temporary push button installation was carried out in coordination with the two traffic management phases. For the two construction phases, a push button facility will be erected east of the junction “Fröhlichgasse – access MCG – access – MQG construction site” to allow pedestrians to cross Fröhlichgasse safely with the south side sidewalk closed and trade fair visitors to access the trade fair grounds from the temporary parking area “Kulmer-Gründe”.

In the future, traffic access will be provided via a 3-arm signalized intersection on the western side and via a 4-arm signalized intersection on the eastern side of the development. In coordination with the road operator and Messe Graz, a concept for the operation of a traffic guidance system depending on trade fair events will be developed and implemented. Special consideration is given to bicycle and pedestrian traffic as well as public traffic along Fröhlichgasse and in the area of the two intersections.

The Raitfeldstraße-Erlachweg intersection is located near the large roundabout on the L502 Simbacher Landesstraße in the municipality of Braunau am Inn. It is unregulated as it stands and is one of the problematic places where mixed-involvement accidents have occurred on several occasions. Due to the planned expansion of the Billas Plus store, the connection to the municipal and provincial road network should be optimized, especially for non-motorized traffic.

The design of the intersection as a mini-roundabout can significantly improve traffic safety and the quality of traffic flow in the inner-city area with limited space. Under the supervision of the Province of Upper Austria and the Transport and Planning Committee, a variant of the mini-roundabout was elaborated by PLANUM, which is to go into trial operation in April/May 2023. To this end, the following measures have been identified as necessary:

• Deconstruction of the center island incl. Relocation of protective path and signage
• Changes in the entrance and exit area adapted to the new traffic situation
• Disassembly and relocation of signs and barrier system
• Relocation of street lighting
• Removal and temporary storage of trees
• Application of construction site floor markings for trial operation

At the beginning of April, the provisional construction and marking measures were completed and the Miovision mobile traffic data acquisition system with integrated video evaluation was installed. The video-monitored trial operation is expected to last 4 to 5 weeks. Subsequently, the results are analyzed and the further course of action is decided with all decision-makers.
