Special Interest Session • SIS 65 • 14:00 > 15:00 • SIS 65 How can digital solutions and data be integrated to address the various types of disruptions in transport? • YILDIZ 1 Special Interest Session
Digital solutions and data play a critical role in helping transport systems anticipate, manage, and recover from disruptions. Integrating real-time data from sensors, vehicles, infrastructure, and users enables transport operators and cities to detect anomalies early—such as traffic incidents, infrastructure failures, extreme weather, or unexpected demand surges. Advanced analytics, AI, and predictive modelling can then identify patterns, forecast impacts, and recommend optimal responses. Passenger-facing digital solutions—such as multimodal apps, personalised alerts, and real-time journey information—help travellers make informed decisions during disruptions and reduce pressure on affected networks. Meanwhile, back-end systems can adjust traffic flows, optimise public transport operations, and reroute logistics chains dynamically. Integrating these technologies requires a robust governance framework, data quality standards, and strong cross-sector partnerships. When combined effectively, digital tools and data-driven approaches greatly enhance the resilience, efficiency, and adaptability of transport systems facing an increasingly complex range of disruptions.
