Public Transportation
The fight for the economical and environmental weighting between motorized individual transportation and public transportation has already been decided. The mobility residents of the “Car Cities” (after the American model) is economically speaking almost double as expensive as in cities with a good developed public transportation network (Source: Statistic from UITP – International Union of Public Transport). A shifting in direction public transportation, as being practised by many communes by now, is therefore from an economical and ecological point of view necessary.Once the required political decisions for tramways, metros and light rail systems have been made, then the development of a complex public transportation project that requires know-how from different fields begins.
Here lay the consulting technical skills from URBANIA TRAFFIC SOLUTIONS: status analysis, master plan development, feasibility study, technical concept development, detail conception of the tender documents, monitoring of the contract award process, project tracking of costs and deadlines, acceptance, commissioning, operation and maintenance control. We focus on the sensitive area around the analysis of complete and operating costs of transport solutions.
The network of URBANIA TRAFFIC SOLUTIONS places for the specific requirements of a railway project the best specialists at the disposal, whose know how comes from long time, international and industrial experience in: development of railway systems, project management and execution of complete traffic systems as well as industrial project planning.
Robert Söllner, Technical Engineer and Managing Director of URBANIA TRAFFIC SOLUTIONS puts together the optimum teams according to the project situation, he personally coordinates and takes the responsibility as Head Consulter for the complete process.
