Integration Projects4P in R+R Burger und Partner AG

R+R Burger und Partner AG has taken over the Projects4P brand and integrated it as a new business unit.

Projects4P was founded and built up by our management board member Stefan Isler.

The services of the Projects4P division include project management consulting, project management training and interim project management.

These three elements are based on the innovative 4P Dynamo concept. This is based on a wealth of experience and includes a comprehensive and structured approach to develop project management skills in organizations in the long term.

Projects4P ideally complements the existing offering of R+R Burger und Partner AG.

While R+R Burger und Partner AG has made a name for itself in the management and cost consulting of infrastructure projects, Projects4P focuses on the individual development of maturity in project management of project-oriented organizations.

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.

Aarwangen Traffic Improvement – NISTRA Assessment

In the future, through traffic will bypass Aarwangen on a new road west of the town. The NISTRA evaluation tool, developed by the Federal Roads Office, is used to assess the advantages, disadvantages and costs of the project.

The high volume of traffic on the main road through the town of Aarwangen affects residents and leads to congestion.
A new western bypass road will divert through traffic around the town. This will relieve the pressure on inhabitants of the town center, obstructions to slow-moving traffic and public transport will be reduced, and traffic safety will be improved. In addition, the main road through town can be made more attractive.
The Department of Civil Engineering of the canton of Bern commissioned R+R to evaluate the bypass project using the NISTRA evaluation tool developed by the Federal Roads Office. The advantages and disadvantages of the project are analyzed, benefits quantified and costs determined. NISTRA combines three different assessment approaches (cost-benefit analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, qualitative analysis).
In addition to Aarwangen itself, the assessment also takes the neighboring communities of Langenthal, Thunstetten and Bützberg into account, as these will also be affected by the changed traffic flows.
NISTRA yields a positive overall rating considering environmental, economical and social factors. Even with a negative rating on some aspects concerning environment and spatial development, the positive project effects predominate. The focus is on the benefits of shorter travel times, improved access, a safer traffic flow and less noise and exhaust emissions for residents.
