Intraplan Consult

What Intraplan Consult does

Intraplan Consult GmbH is a privately held German transport and mobility consulting firm headquartered in Munich (registered in Koblenz, HRB 2350) with approximately 60 employees. Founded circa 1981, the firm provides consulting mandates, expert opinions, feasibility studies, and method/process development for federal and state transport ministries, transport authorities, airport operators, railway and public transport companies, and municipalities, primarily across Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and the Netherlands. Its service offering spans all transport modes — rail, road, air, public transport, cycling, pedestrians, and freight — covering demand forecasting, traffic modelling, cost-benefit analysis, tariff and revenue sharing systems, infrastructure planning, and environmental impact assessment. Notable mandates include the 2040 Transport Forecast and Long-Term Traffic Forecast to 2051 for the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV), the Bundesverkehrswegeplan 2030 (rail), and standardisierte Bewertungen underpinning multi-billion-euro infrastructure projects such as Hamburg U5 and the Frankfurt Regional Tangent West.

The firm's technology backbone consists of long-developed traffic and demand forecasting models, a continuously maintained Aviation Data Pool covering global air transport supply and demand, and the Mobility Data Platform (Mobile Daten Portal) — a standardised web product that combines survey data analytics with mobile phone data provided through a partnership with Teralytics. An additional Intraplan Portal provides authenticated web access for customers. Revenue is generated almost exclusively through project-based professional services engagements sourced via public sector procurement and direct commissions, supplemented by managed-services revenue from the Mobility Data Platform and bespoke software development. There are no reseller, marketplace, or self-serve channels; all distribution is direct, with formal tendering as the primary go-to-market mechanism and three Managing Directors (Frank Schäfer, Tobias Kluth, Bernd Kollberg) overseeing the firm.

Broad incumbents

• Arup: Global engineering and design firm with a strong transport planning practice. Comparable in transport modelling, demand forecasting, and airport master planning, but serves a much broader portfolio of buildings, energy, and urban design clients.
• Ramboll: Global engineering consultancy with a sizable transport practice. Collaborated with Intraplan on VDV's 2040 cost outlook. Overlaps in transport planning and rail advisory but operates much broader infrastructure and sustainability mandates.
• WSP: Canadian-headquartered professional services firm with extensive European transport advisory and planning operations. Comparable service lines (rail, road, public transport planning) but operates at significantly larger scale and broader sector coverage.
• AtkinsRéalis: Global engineering services firm (formerly Atkins/SNC-Lavalin) with substantial European transport planning capabilities. Overlaps with Intraplan on rail strategy, demand forecasting, and infrastructure economics, but operates as a much broader professional services firm.

Direct peers

• PTV Group: Karlsruhe-based transport planning software and consulting firm behind Visum, the dominant traffic modelling platform in Germany. Comparable in product/consulting mix and Central European public-sector focus, though larger and more software-centric than Intraplan.
• KCW GmbH: Berlin-based transport consultancy with strong public-sector footprint in cost-benefit analysis, tariff design, and public transport strategy. Comparable in service breadth and German public-sector client base, similar size to Intraplan.
• Steer: UK-headquartered independent transport consultancy with comparable service lines across demand forecasting, cost-benefit analysis, and infrastructure planning. Similar scale and consulting-only model; direct competitor for cross-border European mandates.
• Trimode Transport Solutions: German transport consulting firm specializing in freight and overall transport forecasts. Co-led the BMDV 2051 forecast with Intraplan, positioning it as both partner and direct competitor for federal-level forecast mandates.
• SSP Consult: German engineering consultancy specializing in traffic and transport planning, traffic modelling, and demand forecasting. Most direct comparable to Intraplan in scale (~70 staff), geography (Germany), and service mix across rail, road, and public transport.
