Ministry guide on urban cableways provides clarity
In order to further promote sustainable mobility in cities, specialists from Drees & Sommer have been working since 2021 on a guide to urban cable cars commissioned by the BMDV. An interim version of the almost completed guide will be presented at Cable Car World in Essen in June 2022. Interested parties can also talk to all those involved about the contents and results to date at the joint stand of the Ministry and Drees & Sommer.
How cable cars benefit over the entire life cycle
It is hard to imagine building construction today without the digital planning method Building Information Modelling (BIM). What is less known is that BIM also offers advantages for transport infrastructure projects. In particular, future-oriented systems such as cable cars in urban areas benefit from the digital collaboration method.
The marketplace for urban cable cars
Cable cars are on the rise. More and more cities are incorporating the cable-drawn transport system into their transport planning. Yet, because the cable car is new to the urban sphere, there is still a lack of key interconnections. Specialist trade fair with integrated congress CABLE CAR WORLD hopes to tackle precisely this issue and to bring together a broad range of stakeholders and decision-makers from politics, administration, planning, science, economics and urban society in Essen, and so to achieve widespread knowledge sharing. On 7th and 8th February 2022 at Essen exhibition centre, it will therefore be all about the subject of the cable car.

National Guidlines for Execution
The German federal ministry of transport and digital infrastructure (BMVI) commissioned Stuttgart-based planning and consultancy company Drees & Sommer SE together with the Stuttgart institute of transport science (Verkehrswissenschaftlichen Institut Stuttgart GmbH – VWI) to compile a study on the “urban and transport planning integration of urban cable car projects”. The desired result will be a guideline for the “implementation of urban cable cars as a part of local public transport”, which should be available in two years’ time.
