Presentation at the ÖVG event on the introduction of 30 km/h zones

By on

10.03.2026

- Home

PLANUM was also represented at the ÖVG event “Smart plans & smart strategies – mobility turnaround in municipalities” in Vienna last week.

Our expert for VLSA and traffic calming Konstantin Mizera gave an inspiring presentation on the introduction of 30 km/h zones and their contribution to road safety. Representing Department 9 of the Office of the Carinthian Provincial Government, we were able to show that although the 35th amendment to the Austrian Road Traffic Act (StVO) of July 1, 2024 opens up new opportunities for 30 km/h speed zones, successful implementation on the ground requires additional support and clear framework conditions from the province. Practical examples from Styria and Carinthia show how 30 km/h and other traffic-calming measures on provincial roads contribute to greater road safety and quality of life.

In the subsequent discussion with Elisabeth Blanik (Mayor of Lienz) and Thomas Fischer (Graz Road Authority), the different perspectives of the municipalities were presented.

Status update: SMAC

- Home, Mobility, Research project

We are in the midst of our SMAC (Sustainable Mobility for Airport Connectivity) research project to design and evaluate new transportation solutions for the pre- and post-carriage of long-haul flights.

At the last meeting, we conducted a “practical experiment” at the AIT – Center for Technology Experience: the team put on VR goggles and tested a realistic air cab simulator. During a virtual flight from Vienna Airport to the UNO City, we were not only able to test various scenarios, but above all to feel how the journey feels for the user.



What we have learned:

  • The immersive experience strengthens confidence in new forms of transportation.

  • The perception of safety and comfort can already be optimized in the simulation phase.

We are entering the next phase of the project with valuable insights, in which we will integrate the transportation solutions we have designed into a traffic model in order to simulate various scenarios for the overall transport system.


We are pleased about the good cooperation with:
Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH (AIT)
FH Joanneum
and BRIMATECH Services GmbH

Expert support for the ORF district traffic concept

- Home, Mobility, Survey

“The residential area between Münzgrabenstraße, St.-Peter-Hauptstraße, Brucknerstraße, Petrifelderstraße, Karl-Huber-Gasse and Liebenauer Tangente still has an increased volume of motorized individual traffic (MIV) despite some traffic calming measures, such as the bicycle lane in Marburger Straße and the drive-through barrier. Furthermore, several urban development projects are expected in the area’s immediate vicinity in the future, which could have an impact on traffic in the Harmsdorf-ORF district.” [© 2026 City of Graz]


Last year, work began on developing a traffic concept for the Harmsdorf – ORF quarter residential area, including two surveys. PLANUM was represented in the project team during this process to provide technical support. In addition to consultations and the development of possible variants, PLANUM also carried out the traffic counts and the modeling of the different variants in the area. PLANUM was also represented at the two planning exhibitions in mid-January 2026 to provide information on the traffic-related background.

We are delighted to have been involved in this exciting project!

PLANUM & the Koralm Railway

- General, Home

The Koralm Railway will soon go into operation – a milestone that we at PLANUM are eagerly awaiting. We have been part of this extraordinary project since the very first feasibility study. At the start of the final phase, we would like to take the opportunity to show how PLANUM and IBV-Fallast have accompanied and helped shape the Koralm Railway over the years.

🔎 We are currently working on the AreaSouth mobility study, which will provide important impetus for future developments. We will be able to share further exciting insights with you at the beginning of next year.

PLANUM on a company outing

- Company outing, Home

After the PLANUM team visited Prague last year, this year’s company outing went to Budapest!
As usual, we traveled from Graz by train. During a short stopover at Vienna Central Station, our Vienna office manager joined us.

On site, we first marveled at one of the most beautiful train stations in Europe, the Keleti train station, and in addition to the transport infrastructure on land, we also tested the infrastructure on the water during a boat trip on the Danube. In glorious sunshine, we went on a guided tour of the city including the use of public transport and got to know the first metro in continental Europe, among other things. 125 years ago, on May 2, 1896, subway line 1 was opened as the first subway, the idea having come from Mór Balázs.

On the way to the parliament building, this beautiful stone pictogram lay at our feet. We also walked along a street that had been traffic-calmed four times 😉 not only by a “no entry” sign but also by bollards, barriers and camera surveillance.
In the evening, we ended the day with darts and traditional Hungarian food – lángos was a particular favorite among our group.

On September 29, the Styrian and Carinthian Chambers of Commerce hosted an event in Vienna to present the new AREA Süd location brand.

Austria’s second-largest conurbation will operate under this joint umbrella brand in future. AREA Süd was initiated by the two chambers of commerce, which see completely new opportunities for cross-border location development with the completion of the Koralm Railway.

PLANUM ‘s management was also present at this event in Vienna’s Justizcafé above the rooftops of Parliament.

Kick-off for ViMoPlan

By on

- Home, Mobility, Research project

The research project Integrated Modelingand Evaluation of Mobility Measures for Strategic Planning Processesin Villach, ViMoPlan for short, funded by the FFG, was launched last week with a kick-off.

In this project, a traffic model is being developed for the climate pioneer city of Villach that combines an existing aggregated and an existing agent-based traffic model. This innovative approach makes it possible to respond to the different planning needs of cities. Using the coupled model, different spatial levels such as neighborhoods, cities or entire regions can be evaluated in terms of traffic. In addition to the methodical approach of the planning process, this project also supports the increase in the degree of digitalization in Villach, as data collection and backup will be standardized in the course of the project. During project implementation, it will be worked out which data is required for specific purposes and how this can be collected by cities in a cost-saving manner.

In the long term, such modeling can support decisions on various measures. The use of various resources at planning and administrative level can also be organized better and more sustainably. One result of this research project will be a guideline for other municipalities and cities with similar tasks, so that future traffic studies can be carried out more efficiently.

PLANUM is looking forward to the start of this exciting project and to working together with the City of Villach, Joanneum Research, the Bernard Group and VKFG Villacher Klimafit GmbH.

The Austria picture about the Koralm Railway

By on

01.09.2025

- Home

In the documentary “From Noric Iron to Area South”, the Austria picture is dedicated to the development of Carinthia. It shows the development from a traditional industrial location to a modern center in the Alps-Adriatic region.
A central theme here is the Koralm Railway, which will soon go into operation – a project of the century that opens up new opportunities and possibilities, but also brings with it challenges and tasks.

The Carinthian Chamber of Commerce and ORF Carinthia hosted a preview of the documentary.
PLANUM, which has been significantly involved in the planning of the Koralm Railway since 1998, was of course represented at this special event. (see picture)
