Vienna Airport Ground Handling Services is a leading full-service provider with more than 70 years of experience and around 1,800 employees across all operational areas.
Through a structured, company-wide safety initiative, we have reached up to 1,800 employees, achieving an 88% participation rate across the workforce.
Our programme delivers more than 9,000 hours of safety training, evaluation, and preparation, across 10+ targeted safety interventions, addressing key behavioural risks such as distraction, substance influence, and unsafe driving.
This holistic and scalable approach has resulted in a 9% year-on-year reduction in accidents on average, alongside a clear and measurable decline in operational incidents.
Beyond measurable impact, we have established a sustainable, organization-wide safety culture, embedding safety leadership and accountability at all levels.
We believe this combination of quantifiable results, behavioural transformation, and organizational commitment positions us as a best-practice example for road safety excellence in the aviation sector.

Roadside workers are among the most exposed and least protected road users in Europe. Every day, road maintenance crews, recovery operators and temporary workers perform their duties only a few meters away from live traffic.
According to the Spanish Traffic Authority (DGT), seven roadside workers were killed on interurban roads in Spain in 2024: five tow-truck operators and two road maintenance and conservation workers. Similar risks exist across Europe wherever temporary roadworks, lane closures or roadside interventions take place.
Research by RACE-GOODYEAR and Ponle Freno-AXA has shown that a significant proportion of pedestrian fatalities on roads occur during signaling and roadside intervention activities, particularly in low-visibility conditions and on high-speed roads.
The underlying challenge is operational blindness. Temporary work zones have traditionally been protected through physical signage and manual reporting. Control centres often have limited real-time visibility of the exact location and status of roadside operations. If a cone is displaced, knocked over or removed, there is no automatic notification. Drivers only become aware of the hazard when they physically see the work zone, sometimes too late to react safely.
Our initiative addresses this challenge by transforming temporary roadside hazards into digital, real-time traffic events that can be shared instantly across the connected mobility ecosystem.

Local authorities play a crucial role in road safety, particularly for pedestrians and cyclists. In Sweden, serious injuries among cyclists have not decreased at the same rate as injuries among car occupants, while pedestrians’ falls account for a large share of severe injuries in the road transport system. Municipal action is therefore essential for achieving Vision Zero and the Sustainable Development Goals.
Despite this responsibility, many municipalities lack a systematic approach to road safety. National follow-up has shown that only a small proportion of municipalities demonstrate a high level of systematic work for safe walking and cycling. Municipalities often focus on infrastructure planning but struggle to integrate road safety into procurement, maintenance, workplace travel, construction projects and communication activities.
Another challenge is that road safety is frequently treated as a standalone issue rather than being integrated into broader sustainability, public health and urban development agendas. Municipalities have requested practical support on how to translate Vision Zero, the Stockholm Declaration and Agenda 2030 into everyday decision-making.
Trafiksäkerhetslyftet (Systematic Traffic Safety Implementation by Local Authorities) was developed to address these challenges by providing a practical framework for systematic, organisation-wide road safety management at the local level.

Road safety is often viewed as a transport-sector issue, while the role of employers, transport purchasers and public organisations remains largely overlooked. Yet work-related mobility has a major impact on road safety. In Sweden, approximately 45% of all fatal road crashes involve work-related travel or transport activities, either because a road user was travelling for work or because a work-related transport was involved.
At the same time, many organisations do not systematically address road safety within their occupational health and safety management, sustainability work, procurement processes or transport operations. Significant safety potential remains untapped, particularly regarding safe speeds, seat belt use, safe vehicles, impairment prevention and safety requirements in purchased transport services.
The initiative addresses this gap by helping organisations understand their responsibility for road safety and by providing practical support for integrating road safety into everyday management processes. It targets employers, transport operators and transport purchasers across both public and private sectors, recognising that nearly all organisations generate travel and transport that affect employees, suppliers and other road users.
The overall challenge is therefore not a lack of technical road safety knowledge, but how to embed road safety into organisational decision-making, leadership, culture and management systems.

To warn road users of a danger on a road section, for instance following an accident, and to divert the traffic in a safe direction, traditionally wind-powered torches made of wax material are used. This solution implies some relevant road safety problems. First, exposure and risks for operators, on one side of being hit by vehicles while torches are placed on the road surface and turned on, on the other side of being wounded by open flames. Furthermore, damage of the asphalt on which torches are placed during use, compromising its useful time, and lack of practicality since they are made of fibrous materials and wax and can’t be extinguished even if no longer needed.
Every year road workers and emergency operators are injured or killed while deploying temporary warning devices in live traffic environments. Flash-Led was conceived to eliminate this exposure by enabling remote deployment of warning systems and significantly improving operator safety.
The present invention relates to a road signalling system aimed to substitute the traditional use of wind-powered torches, allowing an effective signalling of danger and/or obstruction and/or traffic channelling, ensuring the complete operators safety, avoiding infrastructure damages and, furthermore, informing road users through road navigation platforms. The solution includes n. 4 electric movable elements signalling with high visibility LEDs, remotely controlled by an operator from a plurality of possible schemes and arranged in an easily transportable container, which can reports the danger to users through platforms like Google/Waze etc.
