On June, 22nd, 2015, the State Award for Mobility – the highest award - was given by the Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology (bmvit), through Alois Stöger in the Palais Ferstel (Vienna). The very best 12 projects out of 90 submissions were presented to the public and four winners were chosen on Monday evening.
The project “Highlight” was submitted by Mobimera Fairkehrstechnologien KG. It addresses improved perception in road traffic through demand-driven street lighting. The AIT Mobility Department played a central role within the project consortium and evaluated those dynamic infrastructural safety measures in front of a pedestrian crossing. Behavior with regard to speed and willingness to stop was measured using sensors, in order to obtain an objective before-and-after comparison.
