The agreement allows SYSTRA specialists to push further ahead with innovative techniques in data handling, AI, machine learning and bespoke modelling to support sustainable transport planning.
It will create opportunities to apply research and innovation in real-world scenarios and accelerate the adoption of new digital products across European markets.
The ERTICO Partnership bridges the gaps between stakeholders across the ITS community to help make mobility safer, more efficient and sustainable. Together, we lead the digital transformation of transport through the development of cutting-edge technologies, new services and innovative mobility solutions to move people and goods in smarter ways. ERTICO’s Partners share the joint mission to actively promote sustainable collaborative relations with EU institutions and policymakers by connecting local and regional transport organisations with national authorities.
SYSTRA has been at the forefront of transport modelling for more than 50 years. Its global teams have developed innovative data modelling tools to help cross-sector clients appraise the impacts and outcomes of their schemes and proposals.
The partnership with ERTICO allows SYSTRA to develop new tools and support growth in its data modelling, digital analysis and data science services.

A partnership with ERTICO aligns with our commitment to SYSTRA’s safety and sustainability missions, as well as our wider values and behaviours.

SYSTRA’s innovation team will also benefit from the opportunity to focus on the integration of digital technologies across transport, energy and water markets.
Dr Patrizia Franco FCIHT, Associate Director in Activity and Agent-based Modelling, Data, Modelling and Analysis – Digital at SYSTRA UK & Ireland, said: “To be approved as an ERTICO Partner is an incredible achievement for the team at SYSTRA.
“This will allow us to develop a strong understanding of challenges across climate change, energy and mobility, and how digital innovation contributes to net-zero targets. We will be better positioned to remain agile and respond quickly to projects across the public and private sectors.
“A partnership with ERTICO aligns with our commitment to SYSTRA’s safety and sustainability missions, as well as our wider values and behaviours.
“We hope the partnership will drive innovative enhancements within the data, modelling and analysis environment – which in turn will lead to more efficient outcomes for clients and end users.”
Joining the ERTICO Partnership is an important way to connect the dots between different sectors across our complex ecosystem. The Partnership enables close collaboration between stakeholders by coordinating the planning and deployment of intelligent transport systems and smart mobility solutions in Europe and beyond.
