Traffic and parking are too often managed in parallel worlds — yet they shape the same urban space.
As cities grow and mobility patterns evolve, integrating traffic management, parking policy and urban access control is no longer optional. How do we move from siloed systems to a coherent ecosystem where vehicles, infrastructure, authorities and service providers work together?
City leaders and industry experts will explore how coordinated strategies can reduce congestion, improve accessibility and rebalance public space.
Tamara Djukic (Ertico) will present TM 2.0 and vehicle interaction with traffic systems.
Theo Thuis (EPA) will highlight parking as a strategic tool for managing urban space and access rights, including the role of national parking registers.
Willem van Heijningen (Amsterdam) will address managing limited urban space while accelerating the shift toward active travel and public transport.
Daniel Sevenhans (Antwerp) will share lessons from the Citerra initiative and demand-based models using permits and pay-per-use.
Olivier Asselin (Lille / POLIS) will demonstrate how parking policy acts as a lever within metropolitan mobility strategies.
Bart Lannoo (Be-Mobile) will advocate for a holistic approach integrating congestion charging, mobility rights and enforcement.
Michael Koufopoulos (Yunex Traffic) will add further industry perspectives.
Together, the panel will examine how aligning traffic, parking and access management can unlock synergies, enhance safety and make cities more liveable.
