3264 PTV will take part in an International Automobile Federation’s (FIA’s) smart Cities Forum in Rome that will accompany Formula E’s electric racing series, on 14 April. The event aims to provide a platform for decision-makers from the automobile industry, cities and the industry to discuss scenarios for mobility of the future.

At the forum, initiated by Mayoress Virginia Raggi, PTV will illustrate how cities can optimise their existing ecosystems for mobility and make them fit for future.

The convention intends to host debates on how cities facing similar issues as Rome can speed up the progress towards more efficient, inclusive and environmentally friendly mobility through technology and innovations. Local authorities, international mobility experts, representatives of global industry players and members of the start-up community will be able to share knowledge and experience related to urban mobility transformations.

Additionally, the programme will address the scope policies and actions under the Sustainable Mobility Urban Plan; innovations in smart urban mobility such as infrastructure and traffic management and; the role of technologies piloted in Motorsport in advancing sustainable urban development. It will also explore the role of partnership and cooperation in deploying large-scale innovative solutions.

FIA will show transport planners its concept for smart cities at the Italian user meeting for Traffic Software at PTV Sistema on 11 April.

Vincent Kobesen PTV’s chief executive officer, said: “Motor sport is immensely important for the perception of our mobility. It is a great opportunity for representatives from the city and the automobile industry to be working hand in hand here and taking on a visionary role together for Smart Cities.”
