The Centre for Traffic Research (CTR) is a Swedish competence centre that initiates, coordinates and conducts research and development in modeling and analysis of traffic processes.

Welcome to the CTR Day 2026, an afternoon dedicated to the latest research and developments in transport systems.

Date: June 16, 2026
Time: 13:00 – 16:30
Location: Salongen, Osquars backe 31
Registration:  www.kth.se/form/ctr-dagen-16-juni-2026

The event will feature the latest traffic research and discussions on topics ranging from traffic management to multimodal travel and electrification.

Programme highlights:

  • Keynote presentation: Drive Sweden
    What is required for digitalization to create value in the transport system?
    Insights from 10 years of the strategic innovation program Drive Sweden – Malin Andersson
  • Traffic Management and Traffic Control
    Presentations on incident detection, multimodal analysis, impacts of major events on mobility, digital twins, and traffic signal optimization
  • Analysis of Multimodal Travel and Electrification
    Topics include cycling traffic analysis, e-scooter modeling, congestion in bus terminals, uncertainty in mobility patterns, data-driven forecasting, and electric bus charging optimization

We hope you will join us for an engaging and insightful afternoon. Please register using the link above to secure your place.
