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
