Mobility Tech Update by Umovity
- Major cloud enhancements & new features for faster model creation & collaboration
- AI-powered sensors and enhanced real-time traffic prediction
- Keynote livestream on October 21
Karlsruhe, 16 October 2025. This October, PTV Group and Econolite will showcase their latest innovations under the shared brand Umovity at the 2025 Mobility Tech Update. The keynote, streamed live on 21 October, will feature breakthroughs in transportation modeling, multimodal simulation, real-time traffic management, and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).
With the Umovity Mobility Tech Suite, the two companies deliver a seamlessly integrated portfolio of software, hardware, and services. Covering the full transportation value chain—from strategic planning to traffic prediction, management, and on-site infrastructure—Umovity empowers mobility experts worldwide to tackle today’s most pressing challenges holistically.
Modelling & Planning:
The Mobility Tech Update 2025 introduces major cloud enhancements. In PTV Hub, collaborative cloud-based commenting now enables real-time annotation across Visum, Vissim, Vistro, and dashboards. A new scenario KPI table allows users to compare travel times, modal splits, VKT, and emissions without opening models. From 2026, Visum scripts and custom procedures can also be executed directly in the cloud. The cloud-based software for public transport service planning, PTV Lines, introduces one-click ridership and vehicle utilization analysis in the cloud.
New AI- and data-driven functionalities enable users to create their digital modelling environment faster than ever. The upcoming PTV Visum release, for example, introduces a synthetic population generator for agent-based models and integrates public transport directly into simulation-based assignment. Model2Go for PTV Vissim now builds ready-to-use microsimulation models automatically from HD maps provided by Dynamic Map Platform Co., Ltd.
Management & Prediction:
Umovity also expands its predictive and operational capabilities. PTV Optima Machine Learning now forecasts demand and congestion within the whole mobility spectrum, predicting queues for taxi rides, shared vehicle bookings, or congestion levels at parking facilities. PTV Flows adds a Historical Replay feature for reviewing past traffic conditions. Econolite’s Centracs Mobility extends traffic operations beyond city limits through Regional Management, enabling true multi-jurisdictional collaboration in the cloud. The new Metrics That Matter module translates high-resolution signal data into economic, environmental, and quality-of-life insights.
The latest Detector Data Services in Centracs Mobility introduce major upgrades, including standardized CSV exports that seamlessly bring high-fidelity traffic data into PTV Visum, Vistro, and Optima for calibration and validation.
On-site Infrastructure
In infrastructure, Umovity launched Autoscope OptiVu, an AI-powered HD video sensor, and the next-generation EPIQ RADAR. EVO and EPIQ Web UIs have been redesigned for mobile use, giving operators real-time visibility into detector zones and live radar views. New connectors bring real-time detection data directly from Econolite EVO RADAR and EPIQ RADAR into PTV Optima. The integration of Vissim and EOS has also been simplified with single-click controller configuration conversion and automated compatibility checks.
Live Keynote on 21 October
Mogens Abel-Bache, CTO of Umovity said: "We believe that our users hold the power to shape the future of moblity – they are true Guardians of Mobility. Our mission at Umovity is to give them the best end-to-end technology to tackle their daily mobility challenges.”
