MTMC Webinar—Network and Traffic Management: Current Status and Future Directions in EU R&D Activities
The Multimodal Traffic Management Cluster (MTMC) is organising a webinar to discuss the current state of traffic management research in Europe and more on 12 November 2024, from 11:00 to 12:30.
As the need for efficient, safe, and sustainable transportation grows, traffic management in Europe is at a critical turning point. The future lies in a multimodal approach, where diverse modes of transport—cars, public transit, bicycles, and walking—are seamlessly integrated and managed to create smarter, more cohesive urban mobility solutions.
However, building such a resilient multimodal transport network relies on several foundational pillars, including intelligent transport systems (ITS), advanced technology, data-driven solutions, and supportive policy frameworks.
To advance this vision, European traffic management research projects have come together under the Multimodal Traffic Management Cluster (MTMC). This webinar will provide a platform for experts within the Cluster to discuss the current state of traffic management research in Europe, share project insights, and explore future developments.
