Smart infrastructure<br />

smart mobility<br />

Modern infrastructure - together with<br />

education and research & development – is<br />

a decisive factor for the success of a business<br />

location as well as the prosperity of the population.<br />

True to the motto of iconvienna „make contacts to<br />

contracts“, well-developed infrastructures are indeed<br />

important „contacts“ between cities, regions and<br />

neighbouring countries.<br />

Good contacts are not only a „geographical“ necessity<br />

but are also essential for the various modes of transport.<br />

To meet our mobility needs in the long term, we need<br />

to combine the various modes of transport in order to<br />

create an efficient, fully intermodal transport system.<br />

Optimum management of existing infrastructure will<br />

continue to grow in importance and will in the long<br />

term reduce the need for new construction. This<br />

transition inevitably requires a major rethink by all<br />

parties - from infrastructure providers through to<br />

individual travellers.<br />

Austrian motorway network operator ASFINAG, for<br />

example, shows clear evidence of this rethinking of<br />

the transport situation. ASFINAG already prioritized<br />

networking with other modes of transport in its vision<br />

statement in 2009 and has made it a firm feature of its<br />

future concept „ASFINAG Motorway Picture 2025“.<br />
