As cities and transport networks evolve, the need for efficient, interconnected, resilient and sustainable multimodal transportation systems becomes ever more pressing. There is a need to bridge the gap between results achieved by recent research activities and real-world applications for the management of multimodal passenger and freight traffic. This session focuses on the latest results and achievement of three EU-funded research projects: SYNCHROMODE, ACUMEN, and DELPHI. Early implementations showcase real-world applications of innovative MTM solutions, advanced data-sharing frameworks, and governance models aligned with EU regulatory and sustainability goals. In addition, the session will present and discuss the “Multimodal Traffic Management: Roadmap for 2030 and beyond”, a document collaboratively developed by the projects within the Multimodal Traffic Management Cluster (MTMC). This roadmap outlines key challenges in the MTM domain and proposes actionable pathways to overcome them, while setting a shared vision for 2030 and beyond. Presentations and discussions will highlight real-world implementation results of next generation ΜΤΜ solutions, utilizing advanced optimization techniques, digital twins and simulation models, mobility data spaces, policy frameworks, and collaborative governance. By showcasing these novel solutions, the session contributes to the dissemination of the gained knowledge and experiences to interested entities, supporting their transferability and wider adoption.
