N02 Gotthard tunnel maintenance project

The Gotthard Tunnel maintenance project, which will take around 12 years to complete, comprises five overarching construction phases during which traffic through the tunnel is to be kept flowing at all times. Rapp and its partners advise FEDRO on all scientific, technical and strategic issues and are responsible for the planning, coordination and implementation of transportation projects. 

Introduction of a truck toll on state and district roads in Baden-Württemberg

A truck toll for vehicles weighing 7.5 tons or more is intended to generate revenue for the maintenance and upkeep of state and district roads in BW. Rapp has provided expert input on specific issues relating to the HGV toll, prepared a cost estimate for various scenarios and taken on coordinating tasks.

Göschenen exit extension

Measures are being taken at various points to avoid traffic jams at the portal of the Gotthard road tunnel. Among other things, Rapp has advised on and planned the traffic-related implementation of the Göschenen exit extension.

Specialist support and advice for FEDRO in the area of traffic management

FEDRO is the Swiss authority responsible for road infrastructure and individual road traffic. Rapp is working on a multi-year framework contract for specialist support in traffic management for the key topic of "traffic management" at FEDRO.

Pilot test end of traffic jam warning

A pilot test including the detection, verification and visualization of traffic jam ends was carried out. Rapp first provided support in the tendering process and then in the organization, implementation and evaluation of the pilot test.

SIKO 4.0: Safety-relevant competencies and suitability for driving (partially) automated vehicles

The ongoing development of automated driving will fundamentally change road traffic. Rapp and its consortium partners have developed a catalog of the necessary driving aptitudes and driving skills for (partially) automated vehicles.

Congestion tail detection – field test

In a field test, the quality of the congestion tail detections based on floating car data was verified. Existing traffic cameras on previously defined motorway sections served as a reference for the quality check.

Communication of automated vehicles with other road users

The project provides information on the requirements for communication between automated vehicles and other road users. For this purpose, various traffic situations were examined and evaluated in a first step.

New toll tariffs – type of drive and CO2 classes

In 2020, the EU transport ministers initiated toll rates based on CO2 classes. ASFINAG already commissioned Rapp in 2019 to draw up a rough concept for the implementation of a differentiation of the GO toll according to type of drive and CO2 classes.

Use of eCall data for traffic management

Rapp was commissioned together with AIT to identify potential use cases for the use of eCall data in traffic management and to investigate whether and in what way these use cases can be implemented technically, functionally and organisationally.
