Extension of Tram Line 1 in Bremen
On 16 June 2020, the Bremen Senate approved the funding for the extension of Line 1 to Mittelshuchting. On the Bremen side, Line 1 will be extended by a total of 3.7 km from the current turning loop at the "Roland-Center" to "Huchtinger Heerstraße / Brüsseler Straße". In the process, 14 traffic signal systems will be newly built or [...]
Muli-leg intersection “Leipziger Dreieck” in Potsdam
After more than six years of construction, the multi-leg intersections at the Leipziger Dreieck south of the Lange Brücke Havel crossing were finally opened to traffic in mid-December 2025.During this time, the BERNARD Gruppe planned and supervised all intersection traffic signals, both for the temporary construction phases with challenging traffic routing, and for the successively completed final upgrade at [...]
Smart control system for fire engines on call
In Ravensburg, the BERNARD Gruppe has implemented a smart solution that prioritises emergency vehicles and specifically manages traffic flow. A specially developed AI model detects fire engines with their blue lights flashing and enables the automated control of relevant traffic nodes.The main road out of town had to be closed due to bridge renovation works. This resulted in detours [...]
District road renovation
With the upgrade of district road 11 in Velbert, Germany, a central traffic link between Langenberg and Neviges is being comprehensively modernised. The aim is to sustainably improve the structural condition of the road and, at the same time, ensure efficient and compliant drainage. The route alignment will remain largely unchanged, with targeted improvements to increase traffic safety and [...]
Reliable traffic data
Effective traffic calming and sustainable urban development require a sound, objective basis for decision-making. The city of Salzburg is therefore implementing permanent traffic monitoring at central intersections. The aim is to continuously record traffic, and on this basis, to plan, control and evaluate measures.The technology used is the BERNARD Mobility Analyser (BMA), a camera-based traffic recording system developed by [...]
Vibration monitoring
Unusual vibrations were observed in the live conductor rail on the northern railway line near the Danube bridge at Handelskai. These occurred independently of the train traffic, but at the same time as noticeable crosswinds. Initial assumptions indicated that certain combinations of wind speed, wind direction and aerodynamic flow could have triggered resonance effects.This represents a risk which, in [...]
A traffic report for the future
The BERNARD Gruppe is updating the traffic report on the four-lane upgrade of the federal highway B29 between Schwäbisch Gmünd and Mögglingen and is looking ahead to the year 2040. The report will provide a revised and reliable basis for the succeeding design planning. The focus will be on a holistic view of transport development. Population and structural changes, regional [...]
Large-scale above-ground hydrogen storage
As part of the national hydrogen strategy, a hydrogen pipeline will be built between Grenzach-Wyhlen and Waldshut-Tiengen along the High Rhine, which will later be included in the core network. As this pipeline will initially be operated as an isolated network without any further grid connections, the future operator, badenovaNETZE, has commissioned the BERNARD Gruppe to carry out a [...]
Sustainable mobility
With the opening of the hydrogen filling station, the city of Freiburg, the city’s waste management and urban cleaning services (ASF), and the regional energy supplier (badenova) are sending a strong signal for sustainable mobility and the municipal energy transition. The pioneering project is an important milestone on the way to establishing a self-sufficient hydrogen supply on the site [...]
Safe crossings in Steingaden
The BERNARD Gruppe has been commissioned to design three traffic light systems in the through-roads of Steingaden. The aim is to improve road safety at key junctions and, in particular, to create crossing facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.The focus is on the B 17/St 2059 junction, a pedestrian crossing on the B 17 near the town hall, and a [...]
