PTV Group | Mobility Tech Update 2025 – Cutting-Edge Innovations by PTV Group and Econolite

PTV Group and Econolite, under the Umovity brand, unveiled new mobility innovations at the 2025 Tech Update. The recording is now available.

In mid-October, Umovity—the joint brand of PTV Group and Econolite—unveiled its latest software and hardware innovations during the highly anticipated Mobility Tech Update 2025.

With the Umovity Mobility Tech Suite, the two companies deliver a seamlessly connected ecosystem of software, hardware, and services that covers the entire transportation value chain—from strategic planning to traffic prediction, management, and on-site infrastructure. “At Umovity, our goal is to equip customers and partners with the best technologies to tackle transportation challenges and foster efficient, safe, and sustainable mobility systems”, explained Mogens Abel-Bache, CTO of Umovity.  “To achieve that, we have to keep evolving. Innovation isn’t a one-time effort – it’s continuous.

Our teams are constantly pushing boundaries to make sure our solutions remain at the forefront of the industry.” The keynote featured breakthroughs in transportation modeling, multimodal simulation, real-time traffic management, and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Modeling & Planning This includes 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. Celebrating the Mobility Community The keynote celebrated not just technology, but the vibrant community mobility professionals.

“At Umovity, we believe the real “Guardians of Mobility” are our users—planners, engineers, and traffic managers—who work every day to make mobility better”, said Mogens Abel-Bache.“ In the face of constant and increasing rate of change, be it from climate, rapid urbanization or increasing mobility demand, their role has never been more vital.
