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!
