Building on this theme, the Congress addresses four strategic topics that define the next era of transport and mobility
Safety and Resilience Through Intelligent Systems
How can digital innovation deliver safer, more robust, and inclusive mobility systems?
This topic explores how intelligent technologies like AI, C-ITS, and V2X can be deployed in real-world conditions to enhance safety, build resilience, and support user trust across increasingly complex transport networks. Focus areas include cybersecurity in safety-critical systems, inclusive design that protects all users, and coordination across sectors and borders to ensure continuity, accountability, and impact.
Multimodal mobility system management
How can data-driven systems deliver reliable, equitable, and integrated travel across all modes?
This topic focuses on the orchestration of multimodal networks—uniting shared, automated, and public transport with intelligent traffic and demand management. It explores how AI, Digital Twins, and real-time platforms can shift operations from reactive to predictive, making journeys smoother and more accessible. It also addresses the policy and infrastructure foundations needed to scale MaaS, ensure inclusivity, and support seamless, user-centric mobility across cities, regions, and borders.
Smart and sustainable logistics in the digital era
How can technology and innovation reshape freight to be cleaner, smarter, and more resilient?
This topic explores how digital solutions—from AI and automation to IoT and Digital Twins—can transform logistics into a connected, sustainable, and transparent system. It focuses on freight decarbonisation, intelligent supply chains, and real-time coordination across urban and long-haul networks. It also addresses the role of infrastructure, regulation, and business models in enabling multimodal, future-ready logistics that serve both cities and corridors.
Enhancing transport and mobility beyond the road
How can innovation accelerate sustainable, connected mobility across rail, air, and water?
This topic explores how emerging technologies, infrastructure upgrades, and policy frameworks can transform non-road modes into smarter, greener, and more integrated components of the mobility system. From rail automation and urban air mobility to satellite-based services and intermodal hubs, it looks at the tools and strategies enabling a seamless, multimodal future.
