RGR

What RGR does

RGR SA (legal name; previously Robert-Grandpierre et Rapp SA) is a Swiss mobility engineering consultancy founded in 1974 and headquartered in Lausanne, with a regional office in Geneva. The firm delivers professional engineering services across 15 domains, including territorial mobility strategies, impact assessments, mobility plans, public space and road safety, multimodal infrastructure, soft mobility, public transport, parking, intersection regulation, dynamic traffic management systems (notably emergency lane conversion, speed harmonization, ramp metering), urban and highway construction-phase traffic management, traffic data collection and simulation modeling, ITS innovation research, and urban freight logistics.

The firm's technical stack centers on microsimulation (Vissim) and macro-simulation (Aimsun, Visum) tools, augmented by multimodal data collection through cameras, radars, drones, GPS beacons, and license plate surveys. RGR designs and programs adaptive traffic signal controllers, implements dynamic traffic management systems, and has delivered Switzerland's first temporary emergency lane conversion (RBAU) system on the A1 between Morges and Ecublens. The team is multidisciplinary (engineers, urbanists, geographers, designers, technical specialists), includes several EPF-certified engineers, participates in VSS professional commissions, and holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications.

RGR operates a sales-led, B2G (business-to-government) model, generating revenue through project-based consulting engagements for cantons, communes, cities, and transport operators across French-speaking Switzerland (Swiss Romande). Engagements typically arise from public tenders or direct commissions, often extend across multiple years, and cover the full project lifecycle from preliminary studies through implementation and operation. Distribution is direct to public sector clients with no intermediaries; marketing relies on LinkedIn, the company website and blog, industry conferences (Intertraffic Amsterdam, DACH Mobility, PTV Club, Rue de l'Avenir), professional associations, and a strong track record of completed project references. Notable commercial references include the OFROU Crissier bottleneck elimination project (CHF 14,950,750 consortium value), the Geneva TCOB tram extension (CHF 100M project, CHF 850,000 RGR fee tranche), and the Lausanne Région regional bike-sharing network concept covering 27 municipalities with 900 electric bikes.
