FOCUS NL - Plenaire opening sessie - Werken aan toekomstbestendige mobiliteit in Nederland

Bereikbaar houden van steden en informeren van reizigers Werkzaamheden, evenementen en incidenten zijn onvermijdelijk in een dynamische stad. De uitdaging is om de stad bereikbaar te houden en tegelijkertijd verkeershinder zo veel mogelijk te beperken. Daarbij speelt het tijdig en duidelijk informeren van reizigers een cruciale rol.
Martin van Beurden - BUKO: Slimmer sturen en effectiever informeren en beïnvloeden van reizigers – Integrale gebiedsaanpak regio Amsterdam 2025 Door de combinatie van de grootste onderhoudsopgave ooit van Rijkswaterstaat in combinatie met de benodigde afsluitingen voor de aanlegprojecten Zuidasdok en A9 Badhoevedorp-Holendrecht (onderdeel SAA), Groot Onderhoud A1/A10-Oost én de 9-weekse afsluiting van de Coentunnel voor het herstellen van de brandwerendheid stond de regio Amsterdam voor de grootste hinderopgave ooit. Daar bovenop kwamen nog o.a. de NAVO-top, SAIL en Amsterdam 750 en dan zorgen dat de regio bereikbaarheid én leefbaar blijft. Dat vraagt om een gebiedsgerichte integrale aanpak met impact! In deze sessie wordt je meegenomen in de overkoepelende gebiedsaanpak, nieuwe maatregelen én het allerbelangrijkste: zorgen voor en behouden van draagvlak. We delen kennis en ervaring over onze aanpak en de ontwikkelde maatregelen en de behaalde resultaten.
Geert van der Heijden - Haskoning: NAVO-top 2025: lessen uit de grootste verkeersoperatie ooit 
In juni 2025 vond in Den Haag de NAVO-top plaats, de grootste verkeersoperatie ooit in Nederland. Tientallen wereldleiders moesten veilig en ongestoord tussen Schiphol en Den Haag worden vervoerd. In opdracht van Rijkswaterstaat is door het consortium Arcadis | Haskoning | HIRS advies, samen met meer dan 30 wegbeheerders, OV-bedrijven en de nationale politie, het BasisVerkeersPlan opgesteld. Dit omvatte alle statische en dynamische verkeersmaatregelen en additionele incident management. Via briefings en webinars is bijgedragen aan de mobiliteits(management)opgave. Haskoning coördineerde de totstandkoming van het regelscenario.
Tijdens is de top is vanuit het consortium met alle betrokkenen de inzet gecoördineerd en werd ingespeeld op verwachte en onverwachte situaties én werd periodiek de verkeerssituatie geduid voor het landelijk informatiebeeld.  Mede door deze inzet bleef grote verkeershinder uit.  Vanuit deze dergelijke operatie, met omvangrijke plannen, een grote dynamiek én vele operationeel betrokkenen, zijn waardevolle leerervaringen opgedaan, ook voor de toekomstige inzet van verkeersmanagement. We nemen u daar graag in mee!
Peter van der Veen - Tripservice: Wie stuurt het verkeer? De wegbeheerder of de navigatieapp? Weggebruikers vertrouwen tegenwoordig meer op hun navigatiesysteem dan op fysieke borden. In deze presentatie betoogt TripService dat dit voor wegbeheerders geen hindernis is, maar juist een kans. Navigatie biedt de flexibiliteit om omleidingsroutes enorm uit te breiden en kwetsbare gebieden gericht te ontzien. Dit vereist echter een naadloze afstemming tussen fysieke maatregelen en digitale ontsluiting. Hierbij vergeten we uiteraard fietsers en voetgangers niet. Ook voor die doelgroepen zorgen wij voor actuele navigatieinstructies. Wij duiden onze rol in het Europese data-ecosysteem, waar we publieke en private data uitwisselen met partners als Waze, TomTom en Google Maps. Naast praktijkvoorbeelden tonen we onze Traffic Reportal, die real-time afsluitingen en rijstrookwijzigingen doorzet naar miljoenen gebruikers. Tot slot introduceren we 'droognavigeren': een innovatieve tool om de impact van geplande werkzaamheden vooraf te simuleren en knelpunten te identificeren. Zo krijgt de wegbeheerder weer de regie in een gedigitaliseerde wereld.

FOCUS NL - Break-out ronde 1 - Verkeersmanagement

Slim parkeren als motor voor duurzame mobiliteit Hoe kan digitaal parkeerbeheer bijdragen aan minder zoekverkeer, een betere benutting van bestaande capaciteit en het stimuleren van alternatieve vervoerswijzen? Tegelijkertijd groeit met de opkomst van elektrische voertuigen ook de druk op laadcapaciteit. De uitdaging: hoe combineren we parkeren en slim laden op een manier die de bereikbaarheid én leefbaarheid van de stad ondersteunt?
Suze Koster - Goudappel: Vanuit beleidsambities onderbouwde keuzes maken voor nieuwe mobiliteitshubs, passend bij verplaatsingen en voorzieningen
Met data over verplaatsingen en voorzieningen laten wij zien hoe je onderbouwde keuzes maakt voor nieuwe mobiliteitshubs. We presenteren onze 3-stappen aanpak, waarin we laten zien hoe beleidsambities inzicht geven in de te ontwikkelen hubs en hoe deze binnen de bredere context passen. Vervolgens laten we zien hoe onze hub-dynamics tool inzicht geeft in het kiezen van locaties van hubs, welke data we hiervoor gebruiken en hoe we hierbij rekening houden met bestaande vervoersstromen. De resultaten van de tool geven inzicht in potentiele locaties die relevant zijn om te ontwikkelen tot hub-locatie. Deze drie stappen presenteren we op basis van een aantal casussen waarin de tool is toegepast en welke resultaten dit heeft opgeleverd. 
Marco van Burgsteden - CROW: De parkeernorm is geen heilige koe: ruimte voor woningbouw (en een slimme poort)
Parkeren is in gebiedsontwikkeling vaak de eerste bottleneck voor woningbouw. Veel gemeenten hanteren nog verouderde parkeernormen (CROW-kencijfers 2018/2012) in plaats van de actuele kencijfers 2024. Dat maakt projecten duurder, slokt ruimte op en zet de integrale afweging onder druk: betaalbaarheid, woningkwaliteit, leefkwaliteit en klimaatadaptatie. Ik laat zien hoe je parkeren weer als sturingsinstrument gebruikt: begin met visie en ambitie (STOMP, keuze over de rol van de auto), voer parkeerregulering proactief in en organiseer flexibiliteit in oplossingen. Met vier stappen - visie, juridisch houdbare kaders, uitwerking in gebieds-/projectontwikkeling en monitoring/bijstelling - voorkom je discussie en bezwaar.
