Mini traffic circle in Braunau has proven its worth

By on

- 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

- 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.

The cycling campaign for the GU6 communities continues

By on

- 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.

Home stretch for the “CAFT24” project

- 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!
