With Yunex’ Yutraffic YuBike, cities and municipalities make urban cycling attractive in a cost-efficient way. VMZ developed the app that makes it possible. Using the cyclist’s smartphone GPS data, it grants right of way to the cyclist at intersections – the SiBike app has already signaled his upcoming arrival 60 meters beforehand.

A master plan will clarify how Berlin’s attractive Spreepark waterfront area should be used in the future. A traffic concept developed by the VMZ is a core element: The VMZ analysed the existing traffic situation, determined future visitor and economic traffic volumes, and created detailed development concepts.

A brewery, factory store and large restaurant for 1,200 guests – Californian company Stone Brewing’s first step into Europe was a major project. For its headquarters, Stone asked the VMZ to research expected industrial and tourist traffic and the necessary measures to manage it all smoothly.

Every five years the EU Commission requires new residential noise maps. Brandenburg province entrusted VMZ experts with Level 3 mapping. The result: Graphs and data tables as well as noise maps which fulfill all the requirements of the EU and the German Federal Immission Control Act, giving a reliable basis for provincial-level planning.

In its Urban Development Plan for Transportation, Berlin’s city government decided to introduce a 30km/h speed limit on more street segments. Together with a city working group, the VMZ researched which street segments were good candidates for speed limit 30 during the day or at night according to safety, noise and air pollution considerations.

With its ‘Environment- Oriented Traffic Management’ (UVM), Brandenburg’s capital city aims to reduce air pollution levels by facilitating a continuous traffic flow. The VMZ configured an IMMIS Simulation system to determine the effect of flow-interrupting traffic light configurations on air and traffic quality.
