N06.24 NEB EM Brüggmoos – Lyss-Süd motorway maintenance project
We are very pleased that we have been asked to support FEDRO’s Thun branch in the N06.24 NEB EM Brüggmoos – Lyss-Süd motorway maintenance project during in the next years in our function as management support and senior construction management. The repair work on this motorway section includes a replacement of the pavement and extensive measures on the engineering structures. Actual construction work is planned for 2029.
Research project bicycle traffic exposure
R+R is working together with the ZHAW and Pro Velo on the FEDRO research mandate MFZ_20_04E_03 Measurement of exposure to bicycle traffic until spring 2026. The aim of this research project is to evaluate existing methods for determining the mobility behavior of cyclists and to test a promising approach in a pilot study in practice. It involves determining the exposure, i.e., the distances traveled by cyclists, divided into the use of bicycles and e-bikes. Existing bicycle counts will also be integrated into the pilot study. Based on the findings, a proposal for the future calculation of exposure in bicycle traffic in Switzerland will be developed.
LZK-Project
Cost optimization for sustainability: With knowledge of life cycle costs, ASTRA can optimize the costs of building and maintaining national roads over their entire service life. This enables better, economically sustainable use of the financial resources available. Together with ASTRA, R+R is preparing documentation that describes the method for estimating and applying life cycle costs for the structural infrastructure from the operator's perspective. The focus is on the planning level and applicability by project managers and project teams.
N01.22 Motorway section Schönbühl – Kirchberg, Lindenrain rest area upgrade
The service building at the Lindenrain motorway rest area has been equipped with a new toilet module made of chrome steel; construction was completed at the end of 2023. The new toilet module offers better protection against vandalism, and it will be possible to continue its use in the event of a future replacement of the service building. R+R supported the Federal Road Office’s overall project manager in project planning and execution.

METRO COPENHAGEN, NEW SIGNALLING SYSTEM ANALYSIS (NSSA)
Lines M1 and M2 of the driverless Copenhagen Metro are to receive a new signalling system. In a study of technical options, process scenarios, migration strategies and procurement solutions, R+R estimated life cycle costs for 18 different alternatives.
The driverless Copenhagen Metro consists of two unconnected line systems, M1/M2 and M3/M4. M1 was put into operation in 2002, M2 in 2007. Their signalling system will reach the end of its technical life in 2027. It was supplied by Ansaldo / Hitachi and is basically also operated by them. The existing system will be replaced by a system at least as modern as the one used on the Cityring, which opened in 2019. The Danish engineering company Rambøll was commissioned to examine technical solutions, process scenarios, migration strategies and procurement options. R+R has estimated the life cycle costs 2021-2065 for 18 strategic alternatives and analyzed the costs for capacity improvements with the existing system.
