Actieve en duurzame stedelijke mobiliteit organiseren Hoe stimuleren we inwoners om vaker te kiezen voor lopen en fietsen, aangevuld met deelmobiliteit en slimme mobiliteitsdiensten? Dat vraagt om gedragsverandering bij reizigers en om fysieke ingrepen in de stad en passend beleid. Hoe brengen we dit samen tot een goed georganiseerde, duurzame en gezonde stedelijke mobiliteit?
Maaike Snelder - TU Delft: XCARCITY - Digital twins als gamechangers voor het ontwerp van autoluwe steden
Hoe houden we steden met steeds meer woningen bereikbaar én leefbaar? XCARCITY ontwikkelt digital twins die overheden, gebiedsontwikkelaars en mobiliteitsaanbieders ondersteunen bij het nemen van weloverwogen beslissingen over het ontwerp van toekomstige mobiliteitssystemen, waarbij de schaarse ruimte optimaal wordt benut. Tijdens deze presentatie laten we aan de hand van praktijkcases in Almere Pampus, Zuidas en Merwe-Vierhavens zien hoe digital twins worden ingezet om de effectiviteit van verschillende maatregelen te beoordelen en deze zo goed mogelijk in te zetten. Denk aan:
Bouwen met lagere parkeernormen. Herinrichten van wegen: minder ruimte voor auto’s, meer voor fietsers, voetgangers en groen. Mobiliteitshubs en deelmobiliteit. Ontdek hoe deze innovatieve aanpak helpt om autoluwe stedelijke gebieden bereikbaar, duurzaam en aantrekkelijk te maken.
Paul Chorus - Provincie Noord-Holland: Grip op mobiliteit in gebiedsontwikkeling
De woningbouwopgave zorgt voor een sterke groei van de mobiliteit, terwijl provinciale netwerken steeds minder ruimte hebben om mee te groeien. Meer asfalt is geen vanzelfsprekende oplossing. Toch willen we blijven bouwen. Hoe houden we steden en dorpen bereikbaar? In deze sessie verkennen we hoe je van visie naar praktijk komt en grip krijgt op mobiliteit in gebiedsontwikkeling.
Martin Guit & Jolanda Terpstra - Rijkswaterstaat: Werken vanuit netwerkkwaliteit om het hoofdwegennet toekomstbestendig te maken met een streefbeeld 2050
Het ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat (IenW) is verantwoordelijk voor de kwaliteit van de nationale infrastructuur én, samen met haar partners, voor de bereikbaarheid, veiligheid en leefbaarheid van Nederland. De grote opgaven rond het hoofdwegennet vragen om een helder Toekomstperspectief voor het Hoofdwegennet (TP HWN), waarin IenW een koers neerzet, die richting geeft aan de acties van IenW op korte en lange termijn. Doel is met het TP HWN de veelheid aan opgaven rond het hoofdwegennet integraal in kaart te brengen, te prioriteren, faseren.

Thede Smidt is a managing director and speaker in the field of digital infrastructures for cities, regions, and transportation systems. For over 10 years, he has been designing cloud-native platform architectures (PaaS & SaaS) in the context of smart cities – with a clear focus on impact rather than technology as an end in itself.
His work connects the physical world of sensor technology with the digital realm of data platforms and applications. Holistic “products as a service” not only enable technical scaling but also create new models of financeability by converting investments into continuously usable services.
His vision deliberately ranges from individual sensors to data rooms and AI-supported analytics to operational specialist applications for administration, traffic management, energy, and mobility services.
In projects with local authorities, transport companies, and municipal utilities, he focuses in particular on the question of how fragmented individual solutions can be turned into scalable, interoperable systems. A particular focus is on AI-supported decision-making bases for the planning, operation, and control of urban systems – both in metropolitan regions and in rural areas.
He sees digital infrastructure as a management and control tool: data should not be collected but translated into decisions. His goal is to generate measurable impact – in efficiency, sustainability, and quality of life.

Paul is the innovation-driven Director of Mobility within Technolution. From the start, I have focused on innovations in (road and vessel) traffic management. Not limiting myself to applied research and proofs-of-concepts, but helping the innovations find their way to Technolution's commercial propositions and platforms for traffic information and management. And yes, this requires the patience that can take 10 to 15 years from the moment of the first targeted demonstrations to the broadly rolled-out and operational solutions that really matter. A logical next step in recent years was to help the innovations cross the boundaries of modalities and civil infrastructural networks and land them within new forms of public-private cooperation. The challenge for the coming years lies in connecting the traffic domain with the other domains within livable and vibrant cities and regions, including energy, high assurance and healthcare.

At Expedia Group, I led product development for the global lodging business and oversaw consumer brands in the US, Europe and Australia. Earlier, I co-founded Newtrade Technologies, a hospitality marketplace software startup sold to Expedia Group.
The convergence of AI, distributed mobility data, and multi-sided platform economics is redefining urban mobility. Parking and curb management sit at the center of this transformation. Understanding how these platforms create value for cities, operators, and drivers is both my focus and my mission at Arrive.
