Umovity at the ITS World Congress 2024

The stage is set for the 30th edition of the ITS World Congress in Dubai this September – the leading event for smart mobility and transportation digitization. This global gathering brings together over 20,000 industry experts, policymakers, and stakeholders from more than 100 countries. It's a platform for fostering dialogue and shaping the future of mobility solutions on a worldwide scale.

Today’s transportation systems extend far beyond physical infrastructure for moving people and goods. Data, coupled with innovative technologies like artificial intelligence and digital twins, are transforming traffic management. Stronger connections between vehicles and infrastructure, combined with advanced network management, offer exciting possibilities for a more sustainable, efficient, and safer future.

The ITS World Congress perfectly exemplifies the convergence of mobility, technology, and innovation and Umovity is proud to be at the forefront. Under our unified brand, we adopt a holistic strategy, providing the right solutions, hardware and software, needed to address the challenges and unlock the potential of the ITS sector: From predictive modelling and simulation to intelligent traffic management systems, cloud-based adaptive traffic control, real-time traffic management software, controllers, cabinets, and sensor products Umovity is leading the way by combining Econolite and PTV Group expertise.

Glimpse into the Umovity Tech Vision 2028

Visiting our booth (H6-B9), you will experience Umovity’s comprehensive offerings and innovative power. Of course, we will showcase our flagship products including our traffic management software PTV Optima, our Advanced Traffic Management System Econolite Centracs, Econolite Evo Radar, the best-in-class radar detection technology, as well as the new AI-based cloud tool for incident visualization and congestion forecasting, PTV Flows.

But you can also look forward to a glimpse into the future as we are unveiling our Umovity Tech Vision at ITS World Congress in Dubai.

I’m getting a little ahead of this here, announcing our ground-breaking Dynamic Multimodal Network Management concept.

We are developing an integrated management, operational planning, and decision support system that will empower cities and organizations to shape and organize mobility in the best way possible across all modes of transportation. By leveraging data from diverse sources and incorporating innovative technologies, such as AI and model-based methodologies, we will build a unique and connected ecosystem, enabling dynamic mobility planning and control – real-time, and long-term. This holistic approach will significantly advance the way we organize and manage transportation.

We are excited to share this vision with you, exchange ideas, and gather new insights.

Expert Insights at the Congress Program

What I particularly appreciate about the ITS World Congress is its sophisticated program. It's incredibly valuable to witness firsthand presentations on cutting-edge innovations and new approaches, gain insights from industry experts, and engage with transportation professionals from around the globe. I’m very much looking forward to participating in the International Forum IF 1“Data and AI for Future Mobility: What’s at Stake?”.

Let my highlight two other Umovity presentations in the program:

• Luca Paone will speak about “Proactive Traffic Management via Unusual Congestion Recognition from Floating Car Data” (September 16, 2024, 9:00am | Session Room: Sharjah D). In urban areas around the world traffic congestion remains a significant challenge. Luca will showcase an innovative solution for the detection and management of congestions. By leveraging Floating Car Data and advanced machine learning techniques, our solution enables real-time monitoring and predictive analytics in traffic management. Our expert will present an application of this method on a test case in New York City (USA).
• Snehasis "Sunny" Chakravarty will cover another very important topic: Road Safety at intersections. Despite advances in traffic control technologies and systems, safety at the so called “dilemma zone”, the area in which a driver is unable to stop safely before the stop bar or proceed through the intersection before the signal turns red, remains operationally problematic.? In his presentation “New Data-Driven Dilemma Zone and Intersection Safety Strategies Needed for a Vision Zero Future”, he will discuss what is needed to finally realize a Vision Zero Future.

For a complete list of Umovity presentations, please visit: ITS World 2024 . In addition, we’ll also be conducting in-booth sessions where our experts will delve deeper into our solutions and showcase exciting new projects.

Our team is eager to connect with you at booth H6-B9 from September 16 to 20. I will also be onsite, ready to engage with our visitors and discuss cutting-edge strategies and solutions. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the future of mobility with Umovity!
