Intertraffic Amsterdam showcases mobility innovations

Intertraffic Awards 2026 will recognise green, user-friendly and inspational technologies

Fifteen mobility innovations have been announced as finalists for the Intertraffic Awards 2026. 

There are three categories: the Green Globe Award, recognising environmental sustainability; User Experience Award, championing excellence in usability; and Inspiration Award, for new technologies set to lead the industry. 

The three overall award winners will be announced at the opening ceremony of Intertraffic Amsterdam 2026 on 10 March 2026. 

The four-day long Intertraffic Amsterdam 2026 exhibition will see around 30,000 mobility professionals from over 140 countries gather to explore the future of mobility. 

Taking place at RAI Amsterdam, this year’s event features 900 exhibitors across 12 halls, more than 300 expert-led sessions, with dedicated zones for emerging technologies.

The industry experts who make up the Intertraffic Awards Jury have deliberated over the entries to this year's awards, with each jury member applying individual scores before the entire panel came together to debate the merits of each innovation. 

They eventually whittled the entries down to the final 15 mobility solutions from solution providers worldwide, the international nature of entries demonstrating the global reach of innovation in the sector.

The Intertraffic Awards 2026 Jury:

• Pieter Litjens, director of CROW (Chairman)
• Adam Hill, editor, ITS International
• Margriet van Schijndel, programme director, responsible mobility, TU/e
• Tom Stone, Editor, TTi and Intertraffic World
• Jorrit Weerman, founder and chief executive, Parking Network.

“The judging process for the Intertraffic Awards has always been fascinating, and this year was no different,” says jury member Tom Stone, editor of Intertraffic World magazine. “Although the jury panel is made up of industry experts, there are always some innovations that surprise us by bringing completely new technology and solutions to the table that we had previously been unaware of. The high-quality of entries makes picking just five in each category a challenge. But after much debate we’ve done it, and now all look forward to the final judging in Amsterdam.”

Intertraffic Amsterdam takes place between 10-13 March 2026

Intertraffic Awards 2026 nominees 

Green Globe Award  

Ekin Spotter by Ekin Smart City Technologies (Turkey)
This ‘environmental governance engine’ combines real-time air quality monitoring with AI-driven automated traffic enforcement. By creating Dynamic Green Zones, it detects pollution spikes and triggers immediate restrictions through 6K ANPR and vehicle classification. Powered by Maestro OS, it enables smart traffic management, reduces emissions in real-time, helping cities meet air quality standards with measurable, sustainable impact.

Hatko Sound Barrier by Hatko Sound Barriers (Turkey/Portugal)
A sustainable noise barrier made from recycled tyres to provide acoustic performance with a low carbon footpriny. EPD-certified and fully recyclable, it addresses two pollution challenges simultaneously while supporting local manufacturing and job creation.

Le Difese Wall by Noise (Italy)
A sound-absorbing cladding system made from recycled plastic and fully recyclable. The system features UV-resistant, mass-coloured elements requiring no paint. EPD-certified and supporting circular economy principles.

Noise Detection System by Mobilis Traffic Systems (Brazil)
An automated system designed to monitor and record vehicles exceeding legal noise limits. Combining high-sensitivity microphones with intelligent software, it identifies, measures, and records excessive sound events. The system integrates audio, video, and number plate capture with traffic authority databases, enabling automated enforcement and follow-up inspections to reduce urban noise pollution.

MB Air by HR Groep Streetcare (Netherlands)
A two-tier bicycle parking system that moves bicycles, including e-bikes up to 35kg and bikes with child seats, horizontally using compressed air. The CE-certified system eliminates physical lifting strain, making upper-tier parking accessible and optimising urban space for the growing e-bike market. 

Inspiration Award nominees  

Deltabloc TAM Technology by Deltabloc International (Austria)
Fibre optic sensing technology that monitors vehicle behaviour across distances of up to 50 km in real time. By leveraging technology from pipeline and earthquake monitoring, TAM uses high-frequency laser pulses within fiber optic cables to detect traffic jams, accidents, and hazardous driving manoeuvres instantly, transmitting alerts to road operators and emergency services for immediate response.

MAV AiQ by MAV Systems (United Kingdom)
An AI-driven ANPR technology featuring GhostPlate technology to combat illegal, cloned, and stealth number plates. Delivering 99%+ accuracy with up to 20% more valid reads than legacy systems and 30-40% reduction in mismatched records, MAV AiQ achieves these gains without additional gantries or lane closures, making it ideal for scalable Smart City infrastructure.

RTS10 by Byda (South Korea)
A safety device providing virtual target information to adaptive cruise control (ACC)-equipped vehicles, helping prevent collisions with construction zones and work vehicles. Tested in 200+ drives, 100% of vehicles decelerated when RTS10 was activated, with average speed reductions of 48%. The system addresses a flaw in ACC systems that cannot reliably detect stationary obstacles.

Q-Free Road User Charging by Q-Free (Norway)
A distance-based charging system for private cars using battery-powered, privacy-focused tags. Unlike traditional tolling at fixed points, this solution enables dynamic pricing by distance and zones, supporting road funding as fuel tax revenues decline. It has been extensively tested since 2021 in large-scale pilots.

Luxene Guidance Line by Luxene (Netherlands)
An illuminated road marking that provides continuous visual guidance in darkness, rain, and snow. The laser-powered, fibre-optic light line is embedded in road markings with no electronics in the road surface. All power and control are centralised in a roadside cabinet, dramatically reducing maintenance while delivering low-energy visual guidance exactly where users need it. 

User Experience Award nominees 

ePARK Zone Management by SKIDATA (Austria)
A real-time parking zone management platform that enables operators to create, price and activate parking zones digitally in minutes. The integrated solution connects back-office administration and mobile app. 

ParkIT by BookFlowGo (United Kingdom)
A valet management solution that migrated Manchester Airport Group's Meet & Greet operations across three airports with zero downtime. Handling over 850,000 cars and tracking 1.8 million vehicle movements annually, the cloud-based platform provides real-time operational data, consolidated insights across multiple locations, and streamlined workflows with reduced manual processes.

TLEX Interchange by Monotch (Netherlands)
A cloud-native engine for real-time, low-latency data exchange between mobility actors. Built on AMQP and aligned with international standards such as C-Roads, it enables public authorities and infrastructure owners to deploy complex mobility data exchange through guided, wizard-based setup. It can be scaled from pilots to large operational deployments without redesigning data flows.

Cosmos Smart Traffic Management Platform 2.0 by Ortana (Netherlands)
A intelligent transportation platform built on GIS-based architecture, Cosmos 2.0 provides unified field visibility through both control centre interface and mobile application, enabling operational and field teams to benefit from shared situational context, streamlined coordination and on-site reporting.

NavTac Temporary Tactile Guidance Films by Brite-Line (China)
Temporary Tactile Guidance Films (NavDots and NavLines) providing clear, touchable guidance and hazard warnings for visually impaired pedestrians in changing environments such as construction zones and event areas. Easy to apply and remove without residue, these slip-resistant, high-visibility films adapt to various surfaces, restoring independent mobility in temporary situations.

Startup Award

In addition to the aforementioned categories, all the startups participating in ITSUP at Intertraffic are eligible for the Intertraffic Startup Award, the winner of which will also be revealed at the opening ceremony.
