Transport Thursdays "Multi-modal Traffic and Transportation Data: Opportunities and Challenges for Practice and Science"

The Transport & Mobility Institute is thrilled to invite you to our upcoming Transport Thursdays event. Join us for an afternoon dedicated to exploring the intricate world of multi-modal traffic and transportation data, where we delve into the vast opportunities and tackle the persistent challenges that lie at the intersection of practice and science.

About the Talks:

• Data and Traffic Management - Developments among Road Managers
  Speaker: Olaf Vroom, NDW
  Dive into the evolution of data science ambitions at the National Road Traffic Data Portal (NDW) and the National Mobility Data Access Point. Olaf Vroom will share insights into short-term projects aimed at implementation, including interactive traffic management (TM2.0) and regional network management. The talk will also cover long-term goals focused on research, advanced AI algorithms, multimodal solutions integration, and the development of national and European data ecosystems.
• A Decade of Research in Traffic Data Ecosystems: Challenges and Innovations
  Speaker: Hans van Lint, DiTTLAB
  Hans van Lint will present a compelling overview of a decade's worth of research within DiTTLAB, showcasing a built data ecosystem in close collaboration with NDW. This ecosystem addresses a wide array of research questions and is actively used to explore traffic predictability and the limitations of current technologies and methodologies in forecasting traffic conditions.

Panel Discussion: Bridging Science and Practice in Transportation Data
Host: Sascha Hoogendoorn-Lanser, Innovation & Impact Center, Delft University of Technology
Panelists: Hans van Lint, Olaf Vroom, and the audience
This engaging panel discussion, led by Sascha Hoogendoorn-Lanser, will feature a dialogue between our speakers and the audience on the synergies between scientific research and practical application in transportation data.
