Mini traffic circle in Braunau has proven its worth

By on

18.12.2024

- Home, Mobility

As part of a traffic study for the municipality of Braunau am Inn, the Raitfeldstraße – Erlachweg junction was redesigned by PLANUM. With the support of the Province of Upper Austria and the Braunau am Inn traffic and planning committee, a mini-roundabout variant was developed.
In addition to smaller traffic circles, mini-roundabouts have also been increasingly used in other European countries in recent years, starting in Great Britain. The construction costs and the space required for such systems are low: the outer diameter is less than 26 meters. However, in order to ensure full accessibility for all permitted vehicles on the road, the central island is designed in such a way that heavy vehicles can at least drive over it slowly without any problems.

The mini-roundabout has now been successfully in operation for over a year and has been well received by road users.

The “SMAC” research project has started!

By on

11.12.2024

- Home, Mobility

The FFG project SMAC “Sustainable Mobilityfor Airport Connectivity” addresses the current challenges in the pre- and post-carriage of airport transportation. This is currently dominated by motorized private transport, which results in congestion and considerable environmental pollution due to emissions.

Our research team specifically analyzes the pre- and post-carriage of long-haul flights with the aim of developing environmentally friendly and demand-oriented transport solutions. The possibility of shifting from motorized private transport to public transport or other innovative transport solutions is also being investigated.
In addition, we conduct a comprehensive survey to ascertain the travel experiences, needs and transport behavior of airport passengers. This valuable data serves as the basis for the development of new concepts and services designed to make the pre- and post-carriage by public transport more attractive. With the help of a simulation and evaluation of the proposed measures, a quick assessment tool is being developed to support and optimize decision-making in the planning phase.

Thanks to the sound data basis from the predecessor project “Airbility”, the launch of “SMAC” in October went smoothly.

We are looking forward to the exciting cooperation with
Austrian Institut of Technology GmbH (AIT),
FH Joanneum,
BRIMATECH Services Gmbh
and are taking over the consortium leadership in this project.

- Home, Mobility

Last week we successfully completed the FFG project KASSA.AST.

This research project was dedicated to cooperative automated shared servicesat highwayjunctions. The focus was on the mobility node between the high-level highway network and the urban or rural multimodal fine distribution. As part of this project, PLANUM designed a traffic concept for a multimodal hub. Sustainable and automated mobility and sharing services are strengthened and an attractive design concept makes it easier to switch from cars to environmentally friendly means of transport.

Thank you for the successful cooperation with Verkehrsverbund Kärnten (VKG), the City of Klagenfurt, Klagenfurt Mobil (KMG), the State of Carinthia, JOANNEUM RESEARCH (JR), ALP.Lab, Tech Meets Legal, AIT and SURAAA. We look forward to continuing these partnerships in future projects.

The cycling campaign for the GU6 communities continues

By on

27.11.2024

- Home, Mobility, Uncategorized

The planning of a cross-municipal cycling concept for the GU6 municipalities began in May 2021. Since then, workshops have been held and the final concept has been developed intensively with the municipalities of Feldkirchen bei Graz, Karlsdorf, Werndorf, Wundschuh, Premstätten and Seierberg-Pirka.

Following the decision in principle in August 2024, the Styrian state government released the funds for implementation. Around 13 million euros are to be invested by 2026 to improve everyday cycling, and the first steps towards implementation have already been taken. PLANUM is working together with the market town of Feldkirchen bei Graz on the cycle paths agreed in the concept.

In addition to the structural measures, further investment is also being made in the guidance system, cycle parking facilities and awareness-raising.

The planned cycle routes and the locations of new cycle parking facilities are shown in the general overview.

The accompanying road to the B64 in St. Ruprecht

By on

22.11.2024

- Home, Mobility

The Gleisdorf to Weiz link is already largely designated as a highway. However, a corresponding network of accompanying paths for non-motorized traffic is still lacking. PLANUM demonstrates the technical feasibility of the accompanying route network. The various framework conditions are also taken into account. These include the future residential and commercial development south of the B64. The accompanying road will be built with a cross-section width of 5.75 m and designed for a traffic speed of 50 km/h during the day and 30 km/h at night. A 2 m wide sidewalk will also be built parallel to it.

Start for INKOMOB!

By on

18.11.2024

- Mobility

Our research project InKoMob (“Inter-municipal cooperationto promote sustainable mobility patterns“) was launched in September.


The potential for promoting sustainable mobility patterns through inter-municipal cooperation to ensure regional mobility provision is being investigated. Additions to the service and accompanying measures should enable disadvantaged user groups to participate better in mobility.

The project places a strong focus on involving regional stakeholders and the population in order to develop optimized packages of services and measures for them. To this end, we are holding several stakeholder workshops and talking to those involved.

The main task of INKOMOB is to develop a guideline and criteria catalog for municipalities. The collected knowledge on inter-municipal mobility provision is bundled and serves as a basis for transferring the findings to other regions.

The research project team is made up of:

  • Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH (AIT) as consortium leader

  • PLANUM Fallast & Partner GmbH

  • Verkehrsverbund Kärnten GmbH

  • Klagenfurt Mobil GmbH

  • International Project Management Agency Klagenfurt on Lake Wörthersee (IPAK) GmbH

We look forward to a productive collaboration and expect exciting results to promote even more sustainable mobility patterns in the future.

The micro public transport strategy for Carinthia is here!

By on

18.10.2024

- Home, Mobility

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:
https://www.bedarfsverkehr.at/content/Hauptseite


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.

For queries: klamminger@planum.eu; fallast@planum.eu

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.

Home stretch for the “CAFT24” project

By on

- Home, Mobility, Survey

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!
