Despite its peaceful size, the community, which has a population of around 3,000 (status in 2019), is well-known \u2013 mainly because of the daily congestion reports.<\/p>\n<p>It is not uncommon for commuters to sit here for up to 45 minutes. Mayor Johannes Kneidl is therefore conducting an intensive search for simple and effective systems to relieve the roads around his community.<\/p>\n<p>The present situation places a heavy strain not only on people but also on freight transport. \u201cWe are looking for an effective and above all fast system; we are looking closely at all the present alternatives here and we are not afraid when it comes to using out-of-the-box systems,\u201d Kneidl says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<h3>Multimodal<\/h3>\n<p>At the event, Reinhard Fitz from DOPPELMAYR recommended a multimodal connection option. With this approach, particular consideration is given to the pros and cons of individual systems and to how they can complement one another best.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the route must first be examined closely and the existing problems revealed. Then a rational, fact-based decision should be made. For example: in an urban area, a bus is more suitable than a tram as a connection for the final few metres, and even the latest mobility concepts cannot meet all the requirements on their own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>\u201cWe have wanted a suburban railway for a long time, but this has so far been unsuccessful, owing to space. The suburban railway lines need to be well placed strategically, so that they are also beneficial for the people.<\/p>\n<p>Munich and many other cities have decided, for example, to lay the lines in the form of a star. This allows rapid movement. But, if there are no interconnections, then commuting between individual districts can mean a long detour, in spite of connection to the suburban railway network,\u201d Kneidl says.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment, such suburban railway branches are generally connected by means of buses. However, it should be considered here whether an urban cable car system might be more beneficial than the introduction of bus routes.<\/p>\n<p>Various start-ups are also offering interesting approaches. The start-up UP-Bus combines both systems \u2013 bus and cable car \u2013 in order to exploit the individual advantages.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 43\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 43\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>This system looks at the idea of multimodal transport and takes it to the next level. Here, the advantages of bus and cable car are directly combined and the respective shortcomings are balanced out.<\/p>\n<p>The geographically fixed nature of the cable car can be subsequently balanced out by a sort of bus gondola and since the cable car runs in the third plane, the city\u2019s constant congestion hotspots would no longer be a cause of delays.<\/p>\n<p>This system is still being tested and not yet suitable for road or mass transport. However, combining individual transport systems promises to offer an opportunity for the future.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 43\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<h3>Individual<\/h3>\n<p>Another aspect that is often mentioned in connection with future mobility is the individuality of transport. Systems such as car sharing have imitated this and public transport is now also trying to make mass transport more individual.<\/p>\n<p>This is no easy undertaking, if you consider that mass transport and private transport are irreconcilable in most people\u2019s minds. With Ottobahn, it is believed that a concept has been found, which makes this dream possible \u2013 the idea is a sort of flying living room on rails. Initial tests in the factory seem to have been very positive here.<\/p>\n<p>Coming back to the example of Sulzemoos: the ideal system for the village has not yet been found. As well as a fast and efficient connection, the desire is also for the ideal transport system to connect the small, surrounding villages, so thattheycanalsobenefitfromthe new system. tm<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-2 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\"; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;z-index:-1;background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(), to())!important;background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 gradient-container-2 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#e2e2e2;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_6 1_6 fusion-one-sixth fusion-column-first gradient-column-3\" style=\"width:16.666666666667%;width:calc(16.666666666667% - ( ( 20px ) * 0.16666666666667 ) );margin-right: 20px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-3 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\"; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;z-index:-1;background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(), to())!important;background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-two-third fusion-column-last gradient-column-4\" style=\"width:66.666666666667%;width:calc(66.666666666667% - ( ( 20px ) * 0.66666666666667 ) );margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 43\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 43\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<h3>URBAN CABLE CAR ACCEPTANCE SURVEY<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 43\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>At Builtworld, a survey was conducted on the subject of the acceptance and scope of urban cable cars.
