Intertraffic Amsterdam once again proved itself as an important gathering in the global transport calendar. With over 30,000 professionals in attendance, the event offered a platform for collaboration and insight at a time when the road and mobility sectors face unprecedented challenges.
NEWROAD Consulting’s Founder and CEO, Nina Elter, moderated two sessions organized by IRF Global, each addressing a core theme of modern transport policy: safety and sustainability.
Reducing Crashes and Congestion
In the session Traffic Management and Safety, Nina guided a discussion on how digital tools, AI, and intelligent enforcement are reshaping traffic operations and reducing risk on increasingly complex road networks.
“Our roads are busier than ever. With this comes the challenge of keeping traffic flowing smoothly while ensuring everyone’s safety.”
Speakers from Sensys Gatso, PTV Group, Asimob, and Xenomatix presented practical innovations, including automated road inspections and AI-powered maintenance.
“This session reminded us that technology alone is not the solution. It’s the smart application of technology – combined with design, policy, and accountability—that moves the needle on safety and efficiency.”
Paving the Way for a Greener Future
The second session focused on transport’s role in climate action. Experts discussed road pricing, infrastructure design, AI, and circular economy approaches to reduce environmental impact.
“In our quest for a net-zero future, the role of roads and transport infrastructure cannot be overstated. We’re here to talk about real strategies – about using what we know today to build something better for tomorrow.”
The relevance of ESG-specific insights were also addressed: “Environmental, Social, and Governance principles are essential in how we plan, build, and maintain infrastructure. ESG is not a side topic – it’s central to responsible and future-proof investment.”
A Global Forum with Lasting Impact
“It was a privilege to moderate these two sessions for IRF Global and to engage with such knowledgeable and forward-thinking speakers. Intertraffic continues to be an important platform for bringing diverse stakeholders together – and for moving critical conversations into the global spotlight.”
