We aim to make railway travel digitally tangible by combining innovative tools, aesthetic design, and geospatial data to create meaningful train travel experiences. We collaborate with a network of experts we know and can recommend.

The viaduct ecosystem

The studio shares its engine with the viaduct app (viaduct.world), the consumer rail-travel product. That means the infrastructure you license is live and continuously tested by real users.

🇦🇹Based in Vienna

We are based in Vienna, at the heart of the European rail network, and we work with organizations, creators, and public-sector partners across the world.

How we work

User-centered

We work through rapid prototyping, structured research, and close collaboration. We make assumptions visible early, test ideas quickly, and refine solutions based on user needs, spatial context, and realistic constraints.

Urban data expertise

We understand the complexity behind rail networks, routing systems, and urban data. Our work combines geospatial analytics, large-scale data infrastructure, and interactive visualization of complex, heterogeneous datasets. We transform fragmented information into tools, maps, and insights.

Privacy-respecting by design

Privacy is fundamental to how we work. We minimize the data we collect, handle sensitive information carefully, and build systems with privacy in mind from the start. End-user data is never shared and is never part of the viaduct Studio offering.
