Last Friday, we went on a company outing to a traditional wine tavern in southern Styria. As experts in the field of sustainable mobility, we naturally took the train to Kaindorf/Sulm station and covered the last few kilometers on foot. covered the last few kilometers on foot. The short hike had a particularly autumnal, almost mystical atmosphere due to the colorful foliage and light fog.

Once we arrived at the Buschenschank, we were served classic Brettljausen snacks, beetle bean salad and regional wine. The view and the good food made for a cozy autumn atmosphere and a relaxed end to the week.

This is the best way to welcome the weekend and be ready for exciting tasks next week!

A1 lays over 4,000 km of fiber optic cable in Austria every year. So that you can work efficiently, surf super-fast and stream videos in a relaxed manner.
PLANUM worked together with A1 and Artemis this year and helped drive forward the fiber optic expansion in Sankt Barbara im Mürztal and in the market town of Feldkirchen near Graz.

The micro public transport strategy for Carinthia is here!

In September 2024, the state of Carinthia published the action guideline:
“Flexible mobility in urban and rural areas: a micro-public transport strategy for everyone who wants to get around Carinthia sustainably”.
The strategy deals with demand-oriented transport and multimodal mobility. In view of the current challenges, the mobility turnaround is essential. This strategy provides a guideline for action that enables rapid and uncomplicated implementation.

The use of demand-oriented and flexible micro-public transport solutions significantly improves mobility services in rural areas. Dependence on private cars is reduced.

The basics and framework conditions of micro-public transport are presented in order to then provide a well-founded guideline for action with strategies, objectives and measures.

Further information can be found here:

This strategy was developed by Dr. Albert Kreiner, Dipl.Ing. Hans Schuschnig, Dipl.-Ing. Jörg Putzl and Timotheus Zankl, MSc.
PLANUM was responsible for the technical support and revision: DI Dr. Kurt Fallast and Anna-Sophie Klamminger, Msc.

PLANUM is currently continuing its research into micro public transport systems in our recently launched “INKOMOB” research project. The project “Inter-municipal cooperationto promote sustainable mobility patterns“ aims to strengthen climate-friendly mobility beyond municipal boundaries. More information will soon be available on our website.

After a challenging but nevertheless very positive first half of the year, we are all the more pleased that the third quarter of our heartfelt project “CAFT 24 – roadside transalpine freight transport survey”, which we are carrying out on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology, has been an even greater success!

Despite one of the hottest summers on record, our exceptionally motivated and heat-resistant surveyors were able to complete the required number of interviews at all 17 survey cross-sections between Vorarlberg and Burgenland in record time. Thanks to this very large and widely distributed sample, which covers freeway border crossings at only 130 meters above sea level and Alpine passes at 1600 meters above sea level, PLANUM was able to collect valuable qualitative and quantitative data on (transit) traffic on Austria’s roads.

To celebrate a successful six months, we met up all over Austria and were able to enjoy a wonderful time together off the road.

Many thanks to all those involved, who have already entered the 4th and final round with unchanged commitment!
