United under the brand Umovity, global mobility leaders PTV Group and Econolite showcase cutting-edge technologies for modern and efficient public transit and resilient transportation systems at the UITP Summit 2025, which took place from June 16 to 18, 2025 in Hamburg. The companies will demonstrated how Umovity’s integrated portfolio is shaping the future of multimodal transport - empowering cities to deliver accessible, efficient, and sustainable mobility.
Today’s public transport systems face mounting pressure: passengers demand reliability and accessibility, operators must maintain cost-efficiency, and policymakers are calling for environmentally sustainable solutions. At the Umovity booth, visitors will discovered how smart software bridges these needs - enabling better planning, smarter operations, and more attractive transit offerings.
At the heart of Umovity’s showcase are the flagship tools PTV Visum and PTV Vissim, widely used for public transport planning, demand forecasting, and passenger flow simulation. These solutions are now complemented by the recently launched PTV Hub - a cloud-based collaboration platform featuring an intuitive dashboard that allows planners to visualize, analyze, and share results seamlessly, both internally and with the public.
Another key highlight is PTV Lines, a lightweight, web-based tool designed for fast, user-friendly creation and optimization of routes, timetables, and transit connections. Requiring no advanced software skills, PTV Lines empowers planners to make impactful changes with just a few clicks.
Introducing Dynamic Multimodal Network Management
Umovity also presented its transformative concept of Dynamic Multimodal Network Management - a visionary approach that integrates planning, operations, and decision support across all modes of transport.
“We are developing an integrated system for management, operational planning, and decision-making that will allow cities to shape mobility intelligently and sustainably,”
Said Christian U. Haas, CEO of Umovity. He added: “This holistic approach has the potential to revolutionize how we organize and manage transportation across the board."
Supporting this strategy are advanced solutions from both brands. Econolite’s Centracs® provides flexible ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) management, traffic control, and data sharing in one robust ATMS platform. Complementing this is PTV Optima, which leverages real-time ITS data to deliver predictive traffic management and decision support across the entire transport network - including private vehicles, public transport, and shared mobility. This enables public transport operators to continuously monitor current traffic conditions and anticipate future developments.
