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.
