Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming how Europe manages, monitors, and optimises traffic. From dynamic routing and multimodal transport systems to safer, more accessible urban mobility, AI promises to make our roads smarter and our cities more efficient.
Yet, amid this progress, important questions arise:
- How can AI be deployed responsibly in critical infrastructure?
- How can we balance efficiency, safety, and citizens’ rights?
- And what does “AI in traffic management” really mean today?
These are the questions that will drive our upcoming webinar, AI in Traffic Management, taking place on 14 November 2025 (10:30–12:30 CET). Organised by the AI Community of EIT together with AYA Consulting, this session brings together some of Europe’s leading minds from research, industry, and city networks to explore the opportunities and challenges of applying AI responsibly in mobility systems.
From Research to Real-World Deployment
The webinar opens with insights from Dr. Oihana Otaegui of Vicomtech, a leading applied R&D&I organisation driving innovation in AI-based mobility solutions. She will set the stage with an overview of current technological capabilities and ethical considerations shaping AI use in traffic management.
The discussion then dives into two EU-funded research initiatives: ACUMEN and DELPHI, represented by Prof. Claudio Roncoli (Aalto University / KU Leuven) and Manos Barmpounakis (MobiLysis). Both projects explore how AI and data analytics can advance multimodal traffic management and drone-based data collection, paving the way for smarter, more sustainable transport systems.
From Industry Innovation to City Application
Industry innovators Hayden AI and Valerann will illustrate how AI is already enhancing public transport safety, accessibility, and real-time incident detection. Charley Territo (Hayden AI) will share practical examples of how computer vision and automation are improving public transport operations. Olga Gonzalez (Valerann) will present how AI-driven analytics improve situational awareness for road operators worldwide.
Representing the city-level perspective, Sibylle Meffre (POLIS Network) will discuss how local authorities are experimenting with AI tools and frameworks, addressing not just technical feasibility but governance, transparency, and trust.
Adding the traffic and travel information angle, Carolien Mazal (TomTom) and Dr. Bart Lannoo (Be-Mobile) will show how AI helps generate real-time travel insights, turning raw data into actionable intelligence for both users and policymakers.
Finally, Orestis Trasanidis (28Digital, EIT AI Community & EIT Hub Silicon Valley) will reflect on the broader implications of AI-based innovation in the transport and mobility ecosystem, and how Europe can lead this transformation responsibly.
A Conversation for the Future of Mobility
This session will explore both the potential and the boundaries of AI in mobility: from multimodality and automation to data ethics, skill needs, and regulatory alignment. It’s an opportunity to hear directly from those shaping the next generation of transport systems, and to bring your own questions to the table.
