Mobility

Mobility is undergoing a seismic shift across the world. Urbanisation, new modes of transport and the desire for low emission zones are placing new demands on transport systems. Augmented by new technologies, these factors are converging to reshape our mobility system. Smart, sustainable, and inclusive mobility is needed to keep cities moving. We call this revolution the mobility transition and Royal HaskoningDHV is helping cities navigate it. Whether designing multimodal transport hubs, influencing travel behaviour, or developing actionable transport policies and strategies, we provide sustainable mobility solutions tailored to local needs. Careful public engagement and co-design put users at the centre of our solutions to improve the way the world moves. Read more about our mobility services. 

Austria’s first ‘cycle street’ improves safety of pedestrians and cyclists 

Every day, around 6,000 cyclists use the road connecting Vienna’s central station with the city centre. It’s one of the city’s most important cycling routes but the two-way cycle lane was too narrow, creating dangers for cyclists and pedestrians. Vienna’s Mobility Agency asked our experts to work with local partner Rosinak to create a Dutch ‘cycle street’ in the heart of their city. We highlighted the main elements of a Dutch cycling street and re-applied them in the Austrian context. Traffic volumes were reduced by rerouting car traffic. Red asphalt indicates to every road user that this is a cycling street  and, instead of restricting cyclists to a narrow cycle path, cars and cyclists share the road. This freed up space for wide pavements and more greenery making the street more comfortable and attractive for both pedestrians and cyclists. Read more about our ‘cycle street’ project.

“We have successfully translated our extensive Dutch cycling knowledge into an Austrian context, enhancing quality, comfort, and safety for residents, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.”
