Working towards climate-resilience
 

Sustainable urban mobility solutions and seamless mobility services are covered at Intertraffic, which takes place at RAI Amsterdam. There is particular emphasis on cooperating in an ecosystem, successful Mobility as a Service applications and integrated services, software interoperability, data-driven platforms and creating digital infrastructures for MaaS, parking in MaaS offerings and parking & charging. But sustainable and inclusive mobility will also be tackled, as will creating public-private frameworks to achieve sustainability goals, digital twins to tackle transport problems, as well as lessons learned from micromobility pilots and mobility hubs. Visitors can attend workshops and panel discussions on cycling and transit solutions and bicycle-oriented infrastructure and on stimulating active travel and micromobility challenges from the European Cyclists’ Federation, Polis, the Dutch Cycling Embassy and MaaS Alliance. They will share various trends and developments to speed up the sustainable mobility transition and have gathered excellent examples on sustainable urban mobility development for policymakers around the world. The Summit Programme showcases various examples of seamless mobility services focusing on interoperability and user-friendliness too. There is a dedicated MaaS providers pavilion in hall 3.


Need for seamless parking experiences
 

Parking technology is well represented in the Summit Programme with trends and challenges highlighted in workshops from the European Parking Association and presentations from major players such as EasyPark, Flowbird, Skidata, IEM and Riverty. The presentations mainly focus on convenience for the traveller, free-flow parking, parking data collection, parking in MaaS offerings, on-street parking going digital, innovative payment systems for parking, and how to create smart parking solutions and smart kerbside management. In their presentations, parking exhibitors and parking stakeholder organisations underline the need for seamless parking experiences, optimising the customer journey and shining a spotlight on new and emerging technologies to gather data and create interoperable customised parking services.

Embedding EV charging in public areas 

A recent addition to the Summit Programme is electric vehicles & charging, concentrating on the integration of EV charging and parking, EV parking services, EV charging regulations and fast-charging stations - with presentations from EasyPark Group, Royal Haskoning DHV and Vega Chargers. There will also be a panel discussion on Challenges and Prospects of Embedding EV Charging in Public and Semi-Public Areas, while Electric Vehicles & Charging will have a designated pavilion on the exhibition floor in hall 3. The sessions aim to equip policymakers and parking operators with tools and practical examples to effectively address the growth of electric vehicles and corresponding services needed for charging.

 

Using AI for smart asset management

Smart and sustainable infrastructure is high on the agenda at Intertraffic Amsterdam, along with practical applications for smart road infrastructure and the utilisation of AI for smart asset management. Software interoperability, ensuring that cities and towns have choices in digital infrastructure, is a topic explored by Miovision. Digital infrastructure for future-proof mobility is explored with TNO and a workshop from the IRF Global and its partners looks at constructing safe and climate-resilient roads. Other topics are: smart cycling infrastructures, smart road marking from Geveko, and digitalisation for improved asset management. The numerous innovations and learning experiences presented during Intertraffic empower road operators to proactively address the construction of secure, future-proof roads and navigate the sustainable and digital transition they are undergoing.


Co-located event: Amsterdam Drone Week (ADW)

There’s a bonus opportunity to get up to speed on urban air mobility while visiting Intertraffic. ADW is the premier gathering of the urban air mobility (UAM) community and comprises a high-level conference and a Future of Urban Mobility stage and showcase area in hall 11. Embracing UAM in urban mobility is pivotal for numerous reasons, with sustainability at the forefront. On the Air Mobility Stage a spectrum of topics are covered related to urban planning and traffic management, including the future of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, insights from regional and city experiences with UAM, strategic considerations for deploying UAM infrastructure like vertiports, optimising last-mile logistics, and the integration of drone delivery services. Attendees can witness the latest unmanned aerial vehicles up close, engage with exhibitors, and learn all about the UAM developments. This is an unparalleled opportunity for urban planners and traffic professionals to stay ahead in their fields, foster collaboration, and contribute to the sustainable and innovative future of urban mobility.
