Fleet and traffic management systems for cooperative mobility

With the rise of connected, automated, and shared mobility services, traditional traffic management approaches, designed for simpler networks, struggle to adapt to this dynamic, data-rich, and multimodal environment.

The CONDUCTOR EC project addresses this challenge by developing a new generation of tools for orchestrating future mobility. By dynamically balancing traffic demand and applying priority-based management to both automated and conventional vehicles, CONDUCTOR supports smarter, cleaner, and more inclusive transport of passengers and goods.

At the core of CONDUCTOR’s vision is a holistic orchestration framework that connects traffic management and (public transport, automated vehicles, and logistics) fleet operations with user needs. The project is structured around three complementary use cases tested and assessed in five pilots, each demonstrating a different aspect of advanced, high-level traffic and fleet management:

• Integrated traffic management and intermodality testing cooperative control and dynamic prioritisation between various transport modes.
• Fleet management and demand-responsive operations showing how public and shared mobility fleets can adapt dynamically to real-time demand and network conditions.
• Urban logistics and multimodal freight integration examining how passenger and goods transport can be coordinated within the same infrastructure.

You can read all the details of the different pilots in the project latest newsletter, the specific challenges each focused on (from traffic management and cross-border connections to urban logistics and integrated mobility services), how these innovative approaches were tested and assessed in practice, and their impacts and relevance for users.
