The ITS World Congress in Dubai is poised to be a transformative experience, entirely dedicated to the advancement of mobility through ITS. This global event stands as a key gathering for the ITS community, providing a unique platform to witness the rapid evolution of mobility services driven by cutting-edge ITS technologies. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the latest innovations, connect with global industry leaders, and be part of shaping the future of mobility.
“The ITS World Congress marks its 30th celebration this year, from 16-20 September in Dubai. This Congress will allow the global smart mobility community to come together to explore the deployment of intelligent transportation technologies. On behalf of ERTICO, we are eagerly looking forward to this year’s edition of the ITS World Congress for the first time organised in Dubai, and it is an honour to welcome all transportation leaders from across the world to this landmark event,” says Joost Vantomme, CEO of ERTICO – ITS Europe.
In Dubai, the Congress will feature distinguished speakers from the global ITS community, representing a variety of sectors: vehicle manufacturers, service providers, telecom, technology solutions providers, research, user organisations, traffic and transport providers, researchers, as well as high-level Government and Ministerial representatives from around the world.
The technical presentations, Special Interest Sessions (SIS) and Special Future Sessions (SFS) at the Congress will explore the latest advancements in mobility, particularly focusing on Automated Mobility, Innovation in Mobility & Logistics, Clean Mobility, and Urban Mobility. These sessions will explore how ITS is driving the future of mobility in diverse and impactful ways.
The Urban Mobility topic will explore key areas shaping the future of transportation in cities, focusing on regulatory challenges for transport authorities, the need for a seamless travel experience from the user perspective, and the pursuit of safe, clean, and efficient transport systems. Discussions will also cover the deployment of multimodal networks, the role of data and digital transformation, and the integration of connected vehicles. The importance of smart infrastructure and next-generation urban traffic management systems will also be explored emphasizing innovation, collaboration, and sustainable strategies to enhance urban mobility.
Some of the aspects covered under the topic of Innovation in Mobility and Transport will include leveraging big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning to optimize transport systems and enhance decision-making, along with the role of cybersecurity in protecting transportation networks. Discussions will include innovative first and last mile solutions to bridge gaps in urban mobility, and strategies for smart freight movement to increase efficiency. Advancements across all transport modes and beyond, emphasizing the role of connectivity and communication technologies in creating integrated, resilient, and future-ready mobility networks, will be discussed.
