Strategy meeting 2025

By on

28.03.2025

- Company outing, Home

This year, we once again held a strategy meeting in order to face new challenges and developments in the best possible way.

The focus was on analyzing internal and external influences, opportunities and risks. What vision we have and what requirements we want to fulfill. We also discussed current megatrends together and worked out our positioning in relation to them. The Genusstreffpunkt Höfer provided the ideal setting to reflect on the past year and work together on strategies and goals.

Thanks to our interdisciplinary team, we were once again able to gain exciting perspectives in this context. With many new insights, clear goals and a fresh, strengthened focus, we are looking forward to the current projects.

Workshop of the Cross Connect research project

How can we better design traffic signal-controlled traffic junctions for active mobility?

These and other questions were the focus of our second workshop in Graz as part of the FFG research project CrossConnect.
Together with experts from Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands and Austria, we have developed sustainable solutions for traffic signal-controlled junctions in the D-A-CH region – with some exciting findings:

  • Differences between countries are sometimes smaller than expected, but can make a big difference in the quality rating

  • Improvements for pedestrians and cyclists at junctions dominated by motor vehicles can lead to an overall improvement in traffic quality

  • Evaluating intersections holistically: It is not enough to consider technical aspects – the combination of traffic flow, environmental aspects and user-friendliness makes all the difference.

Our next step: Optimizing the step-by-step guide developed in the project for practical use and further developing it as an e-learning tool and making it accessible!

Gleisdorf one-way ring road: a mobility concept for all road users

By on

17.03.2025

- Home, Mobility

The 2-lane Gleisdorf one-way ring road no longer met current road safety standards. Unsecured safety lanes across two lanes of the one-way road, tight bend radii for heavy goods vehicles and buses and other deficiencies were identified. The province of Styria, as the road owner and authority for the provincial road, developed a comprehensive , future-oriented mobility concept together with the municipality of Gleisdorf and specialist planners.

The aim was to improve the infrastructure and optimize safety and traffic flow for all users – pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and public transport.

The first section of the “Grazer Straße – Neugasse” one-way ring road was implemented in 2022. The carriageway was reduced to one lane for motor vehicle traffic and the remaining space was used to expand the cycling infrastructure.


In the following years, section 2 “Schillerstraße” and section 3 “Ludwig-Binder-Straße” were implemented. At the same time as the construction work, cable carriers were renewed and district heating pipes and fiber optic cables were laid.

 

PLANUM is supporting the entire project with traffic surveys, concepts for measures, planning of necessary traffic light signal systems, traffic flow simulations, performance analyses of the overall system and evaluation of sections that have already been implemented. These measures will make Gleisdorf’s one-way ring road fit for the future – for safe and sustainable mobility in the city.

 

Preparations and planning for the final section “Florianiplatz – Franz-Bloder-Gasse” have been underway since 2024. At the public participation evening (14.02.2025), comments, suggestions and wishes from the residents of Gleisdorf were collected, considered and discussed, and the plans were presented by Atelier für Architektur.

Rethinking corporate mobility: ÖVG position paper

By on

11.03.2025

- General, Home

As part of the “Corporate Mobility” working group of the Austrian Society of Transport Sciences (ÖVG), a position paper was drawn up that outlines concrete measures for the challenges of corporate mobility. This paper will be submitted to the government and other relevant stakeholders.

Eight key recommendations for action were formulated to make company mobility more sustainable and fit for the future:
  1. Tax-free mobility budgets
  2. Reform of commuter allowance
  3. Accessibility and parking space obligation
  4. Mandatory mobility management
  5. Strengthening car pools
  6. Extension job bike models
  7. Availability of e-charging infrastructure
  8. Raising awareness

The “Accessibility & parking space obligation” chapter was created with the expertise of PLANUM Fallast & Partner over the course of several meetings. In this way, we are committed to future-oriented corporate mobility. With the expectation that these recommendations will be implemented and thus contribute to achieving the climate targets and strengthening the attractiveness of Austria as a business location.

The full position paper is available here:

Car fasting campaign

By on

It’s that time of year again – Lent begins. A good opportunity to rethink your own mobility behavior. This year, the environmental officers of the Protestant and Catholic Churches in Austria are inviting people to do without their private cars more often under the motto “G’Scheit fair unterwegs”. Public transport, cycling and walking should be brought into focus.

A central concern is to make it easier to switch to public transport.

In their position paper, they demand, among other things:

  • Measures for the effective reduction of motorized individual road traffic

    which can be demonstrated in absolute figures.

  • Maintaining, restoring and expanding an efficient, rail-based transportation system

    Transport infrastructure as a fully-fledged backbone of regional development.

  • Transferable climate tickets that can be passed on from person to person.

  • A rental climate ticket in every federal state so that everyone can try it out.

  • Affordable regional climate tickets so that no one is excluded.

  • Two free rental tickets for youth organizations, social initiatives and parishes, as municipalities already have.

As a transport planning office, we support this initiative. The future of transportation is multimodal, and sustainable mobility is a benefit for everyone!
