AiMTT aims to cultivate a highly skilled and diverse AI talent pool equipped to address the opportunities and challenges of AI in mobility, transport, and logistics. By combining real-world case studies with knowledge development, MICD and the more than twenty other AiMTT partners foster deep expertise in the field.
Mobility, transport, and logistics face a multitude of challenges: traffic congestion, livability concerns, conflicts between user, operator, and public interests, space constraints, and safety risks during large-scale events. These challenges are further complicated by their deep interconnections, making them particularly
Given these advantages, leveraging AI to address mobility challenges is a logical next step. Through AiMTT, we embrace a “learning by doing” approach to develop responsible, AI-driven solutions.
AiMTT stands for AI Learning Initiative for Multi-modal Traffic and Transportation. It operates under the umbrella of AIC4NL, an organization dedicated to the responsible development and application of AI in the Netherlands. Ensuring responsible AI development is essential, as concerns about fairness, inclusivity, privacy, and human oversight continue to grow. Will AI-generated outcomes be equitable? Can privacy be safeguarded? How do we ensure that humans remain in control?
AiMTT aims to address these critical questions by fostering a collaborative learning community that brings together experts from academia, industry, and government. Project partners will build, test, and refine AI applications, with ethical considerations—such as fairness, privacy, and human autonomy—at the forefront.
AiMTT’s approach is grounded in practical application. AI solutions will be developed through seven real-world use cases, each designed to create tangible tools that can be directly implemented. Equally important is the learning process itself: identifying best practices, analyzing challenges, and refining AI applications based on real-world insights.
To support this, the project will offer workshops, training programs, and co-creation sessions—ensuring continuous knowledge exchange and improvement.

The BridgeXR-project—in full: Breaking Barriers for Accessible and Inclusive Journeys through eXtended Reality—tackles the accessibility challenges faced by people with disabilities throughout the travel chain. MICD is responsible for setting up and maintaining the necessary ecosystem and is involved in designing and executing the case studies.
Flooding has become more common in the Netherlands in recent years. Therefore, southern safety regions want to be well prepared. Getting residents evacuated in a timely manner is a challenge, especially when conditions change by the hour. That is why MICD, TU Delft and Argaleo are developing an online tool to channel evacuations.
The large-scale, European research project MetaCCAZE focuses on the use of smart and green partial mobility and logistics. The aim is to find new and useful solutions that are also financially viable.
With the new TU Delft Outdoor Mobility Digital twin (OMDt) we are able to monitor and visualize all traffic on our campus, including pedestrians and cyclists. This helps us to take measures that not only benefit road safety, but also reduce crowding. MICD brought together nine partners, TU Delft labs and external partners, to work on this innovative solution.
MICD is collaborating with TU Delft and 24 other parties on a study into the use of AI (artificial intelligence) in crowd crises, AI Compass. Examples include excessive crowds at an event, a grim atmosphere after a football match or fleeing crowds during a calamity. The aim is to develop systems that provide reliable forecasts to prevent a crisis and, in case one does occur, provide real-time advice to the authorities. This will help minimise security risks. The research investigates the optimal cooperation between humans and AI.
In many cities, a huge amount of data on traffic is collected every day. The greater the amount of data available, the more difficult it becomes to produce useful analyses. Within the European project Emeralds, useful tools are being developed for this purpose.
MICD, together with TU Delft, is launching a study on the conversion of cycling data into useful policy recommendations for governments. Based on large amounts of data collected by public authorities, analysts will assess the quality of the data, which trends they observe and how these insights may form the basis for the future design of cities.
Smart mobility hubs are hot. They are seen as a promising instrument to keep (urban) areas accessible and liveable. But how do you design a good, future-proof smart mobility hub? In MICD’s Smart Mobility Hub pilot project, TU Delft researchers are harnessing the latest technologies to create the ideal hub that perfectly matches the mobility needs of an area.
