Measurements and simulations of traffic noise

By on

- 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.

Expert support for the ORF district traffic concept

“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!

The innovative startup project sound.count is developing an AI-based data collection solution using acoustic sensors and smartphones.
Their vision is to democratize traffic data by creating a cost-effective, flexible and privacy-friendly alternative to traditional traffic counting methods.

PLANUM is pleased to support sound.count with data and technical expertise as part of the AWS First Incubator Startup Program.

Successful completion of CAFT24

After two intensive and challenging years, the project “CAFT24 – roadside transalpine freight transport survey” commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology was completed with great success.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of our dedicated employees, who maintained their focus on recording the trucks in all weather conditions, all targets and objectives at the 17 survey cross-sections distributed throughout Austria were not only met in all four quarters, but even exceeded.

The diverse composition of our survey team is particularly pleasing, with everyone from students to retirees working for PLANUM. Regardless of age and gender, an impressive 56,000 interviews were conducted – remarkably 65% of them by employees over the age of 50.

A big thank you to all those involved, whose motivated commitment contributed significantly to the success of this project and to the acquisition of important planning-relevant data!

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!
