Why now

European deadlines are an opportunity, if you start in time

SUMPs, mobility indicators and safety assessments require complete, up-to-date knowledge of the road network. Those who move today arrive prepared; those who wait will be chasing data at the last minute.

The deadlines

What Europe requires, and by when

2027
SUMPs and common indicators

By 2027, the 431 urban nodes of the TEN-T network must adopt a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) and monitor a set of common indicators.

2030
Road deaths halved

The EU target is to halve road deaths and serious injuries by 2030 and move close to zero by 2050.

5 years
Safety assessments

EU law requires road safety assessments of the network concerned at least every five years, to identify risks and set intervention priorities.

53%
Deaths on rural roads

More than half of road deaths in the EU occur on rural roads, excluding motorways: exactly where sensors are scarcest.

Traditional methods

Why traditional methods are not enough

~10%

Even in a technologically advanced city like Hong Kong, with an extensive sensor infrastructure, traditional detectors cover only about 10% of road segments.

Manual surveys

Costly, occasional, quickly outdated

They require staff in the field and long lead times. Counts are sporadic, and the data may already be out of date by the time it becomes available.

Fixed sensors

Continuous monitoring, fragmented view

Loops and cameras record traffic around the clock, but only at specific points, leaving most of the road network uncovered.

Crash data

It tells the past, it does not anticipate risk

Fragmented information, often available late, that reveals problem areas only after crashes have happened.
