PLANUM at the FFG networking workshop

By on

- Home, Research project

This week PLANUM was represented as consortium leader with the FFG project ViMoPlan at the KNS networking workshop on technologies and innovations for the climate-neutral city, DUT projects and mobility projects of the BMIMI and the Climate and Energy Fund.

Benedict Winkler (Project Manager ViMoPlan) presented the research project on “Integrated modeling and evaluation of mobility measures for strategic planning processes for Villach” and also came into contact with many other researchers on neighbourhood development projects.

This made the workshop particularly exciting:

  • The interesting mix of projects presented

  • Different approaches to topics from different disciplines

  • Interdisciplinary discussions and valuable knowledge transfer

  • Exchange in Discovery Walks of the project posters with other neighborhood development projects

 

We are delighted to have been part of this network and will continue to follow the developments of the other projects with great interest.

 

Our project consortium consists of the City of Villach, JOANNEUM RESEARCH, the BERNARD Group, VKFG Villacher Klimafit GmbH and PLANUM

The project and the workshop are funded by the Climate+Energy Fund, the Federal Ministry for Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure (BMIMI) and the “Climate Neutral City” initiative

Local pedestrian traffic concept Passail 2025

By on

09.04.2026

- Home, Mobility

Last year, PLANUM drew up a local pedestrian traffic concept for the market town of Passail in the district of Weiz. In close cooperation with various interest groups, workshops and surveys were organized to identify the relevant fields of action. In line with the fields of action, a package of measures was developed to make pedestrian traffic in Passail safer and more attractive and to improve the quality of life and everyday mobility in the long term.

We are delighted that this exciting planning process was successfully completed at the beginning of the year.

Measurements and simulations of traffic noise

By on

30.03.2026

- Home, Survey

An important part of traffic planning is the measurement and simulation of traffic noise (road, rail and aircraft noise).

Our sound engineering expert, Moritz Langbauer (see cover picture), therefore looks at the effects of new railroad lines and evaluates whether the noise protection measures implemented are sufficient for the surrounding residential buildings.

Noise measurements and accompanying traffic counts were also carried out along the B320 at various property boundaries throughout the day in order to evaluate whether and which noise protection measures are required due to the vehicle noise. The basis for the assessment of the noise situation are measured and calculated sound pressure levels in the existing situation and for the forecast period.

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

By on

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

By on

- 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!

- 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.
