In August Intertraffic spoke with Urban Robotics Foundation co-founder Bern Grush about the technical advancements in the autonomous vehicle sector that have led him and his colleagues to closely examine the topic of Robotaxi Orchestration. Two months on and Grush is ready to launch Pudocity Inc, a company fully focused on the subject of autonomous vehicle pick-up and drop-off (hence “PUDO”) management technology. There’s more than a pressing need for this issue to be addressed, as he succinctly put it in the earlier article.

ORCHESTRATION  AS A SERVICE: How Pudocity Inc are intending to solve the urban robotaxi management conundrum

Road traffic fatalities claim over 1.3 million lives globally each year, with speeding identified as one of the leading contributing factors. As urbanization accelerates and vehicle populations surge, traditional manual enforcement methods are increasingly overwhelmed, struggling to maintain adequate coverage and consistency across expanding road networks. Automated enforcement systems represent a paradigm shift in traffic management — offering scalable, precise, and continuous monitoring capabilities that operate 24/7 without fatigue or bias. These systems combine advanced camera technology, artificial intelligence, and data analytics to detect violations instantly and create comprehensive records of traffic patterns.

THE VALUE OF AUTOMATED ENFORCEMENT SYSTEMS

This week’s ITS Nationals network awards were a timely reminder of just how many successful projects and programmes have been implemented across Europe over the last few years. The event was sponsored by SWARCO, The Traffic Group, Daktronics, IDASO, the 2027 ITS World Congress in Birmingham and Intertraffic. It wasn’t just nations or national organisations that were honoured – there was a prestigious individual award, too.

COLLABORATION AND COHESION: EUROPEAN ITS SUCCESS

As the 21st European Parking Conference drew to a close, Theo Thuis (newly elected President of the European Parking Association (EPA)) urged the sector to turn momentum into results. Summing up key takeaways from Brussels, he reiterated that parking is no longer a standalone utility; it is integral to safer, more liveable and accessible cities.

A Roadmap for Parking that Serves Cities

As mobility systems evolve, there’s growing recognition that infrastructure must do more than move people, it should also support the planet. Natalie Sauber of Arcadis explores how nature-positive design is shaping the future of transport and ITS.

Future mobility: It’s only natural

Cities’ streets have long been a battleground of honking, delayed buses, baffled commuters and angry cyclists. Now, small unmanned aircraft are starting to offer a new vantage points, turning the sky into a dynamic sensor network that can spot incidents, report accidents, ease congestion and operate beyond a single pilot’s sightline. The technology is already moving from pilots (the other sort) and demos into regulated trials and routine operations - and the implications for how we move through cities are surprisingly big.

Above the Jam: How drones could rewrite the rules of Urban Traffic Management

Si quieres que la gente viaje en autobús, construye un autobús que la gente realmente quiera usar — luego añade una recompensa. En toda Europa, ciudades y regiones experimentan con incentivos que empujan a los viajeros lejos del auto: desde exoneraciones totales de tarifa y tarifas planas bajísimas hasta sistemas de puntos, loterías y presupuestos de movilidad patrocinados por empleadores. Las metas son familiares — desobstruir carreteras, reducir emisiones, ampliar el acceso — pero las tácticas son variadas, ingeniosas, incentivadas y, a veces, contraintuitivas.

FARE GAME: Cómo las ciudades europeas están usando incentivos para persuadir a la gente de tomar el autobús

France’s decades-long investments in transport are now under strain. From the 1960s through the 1990s it built an extensive tolled highway network and expanded high-speed rail. Today those networks face growing challenges – as infrastructure ages, maintenance demands are mounting – even as climate change brings more frequent severe weather that strains roads, bridges and tunnels.

France at infrastructure funding crossroads

If you want people to ride the bus, build a bus people actually want to ride -then add a reward. Across Europe, cities and regions are experimenting with incentives that nudge travellers away from the car: from full fare waivers and rock-bottom flat fares to points systems, lotteries and employer mobility budgets. The aims are familiar territory - unclog roads, cut emissions, broaden access - but the tactics are varied, inventive, incentivised and sometimes counterintuitive.
