ACUMEN & SYNCHROMODE joint Final Event

The two Horizon Europe projects ACUMEN and SYNCHROMODE deliver practical, scalable solutions for multimodal, data-driven, and resilient traffic management.

Over two days, cities, transport authorities, industry leaders, researchers, and EU policy makers will come together to explore how EU-funded innovation is being translated into operational tools, digital platforms, and governance frameworks that improve real-world multimodal mobility management across Europe.

The event will present tested tools, validated methodologies, and real-world lessons learned, demonstrating how multimodal traffic management can move from research to implementation and deliver measurable impact for cities and transport networks.

Through interactive sessions and live demonstrations, participants will explore key challenges such as:

• How to integrate heterogeneous mobility data into coherent, decision-ready systems
• How to design and deploy AI-based traffic prediction and optimisation tools
• How to coordinate all transport modes within network-wide traffic management frameworks
• How to manage disruptions and strengthen resilience in urban transport networks
• How to establish governance structures that enable digital and AI integration
• How to evaluate the effectiveness and scalability of AI-driven traffic management solutions

In addition to showcasing the results of ACUMEN and SYNCHROMODE, the Final Event will feature selected contributions from other Horizon Europe projects, cities, transport authorities, and industry stakeholders working on multimodal, AI-driven, and resilient traffic management solutions.

Through the Call for Contributions (deadline: 16 March 2026), external participants have the opportunity to:

• Share deployment challenges and lessons learned
• Discuss governance, scalability, and policy implications
• Contribute to shaping future research and deployment priorities

Selected contributions will be integrated into thematic sessions alongside ACUMEN and SYNCHROMODE results, fostering direct dialogue and knowledge exchange.
