Jan/Feb 2026 Issue | ITS International | Professional Insight


Industry Leadership Driving the Future of Mobility

Econolite leadership is featured in the January/February 2026 issue of ITS International. In this issue, industry journalist Adam Hill interviews members of the Umovity leadership team. The discussion focuses on the future of intelligent transportation. It also highlights growing collaboration across the Umovity ecosystem.

Strengthening Collaboration Across the Umovity Ecosystem

In the interview, Andy Myers, Nick Ghia, and Spiro Gjorgjievski share how Umovity is aligning its expertise. Specifically, the organization brings together Umovity Software by PTV Group and Umovity ITS by Econolite. As a result, the companies are building a more integrated and collaborative mobility platform.

Furthermore, the leadership team discusses the organization’s strategic direction. Their approach focuses on deeper collaboration between transportation planning, real-time operations, and connected infrastructure data. This alignment helps agencies gain clearer insights while improving traffic system performance.

Building an Integrated Mobility Ecosystem

A central theme of the conversation is Umovity’s long-term vision. The organization is working to create an integrated ecosystem that connects transportation planning, traffic operations, and real-world infrastructure insights. By combining expertise in mobility software, intelligent traffic systems, and advanced analytics, Umovity aims to deliver a unified approach for modern transportation networks.

Consequently, agencies and cities can better adapt to evolving mobility challenges. The initiative also supports scalable solutions designed to advance intelligent transportation through 2027 and beyond.

Advancing Smart Traffic Systems and Connected Infrastructure

The Jan/Feb 2026 edition of ITS International also highlights broader developments in smart traffic systems and connected infrastructure. The feature appears on Page 33 of the digital issue. In particular, the article explores how transportation agencies are leveraging intelligent transportation technologies to improve signal coordination, optimize traffic flow, and enhance roadway safety.

Moreover, several case examples demonstrate how data-driven systems are improving traffic operations. Cities are increasingly deploying tools such as adaptive signal control, predictive analytics, and connected infrastructure solutions. Together, these technologies help agencies manage congestion and improve overall mobility performance.

Supporting the Vision for Safer, Smarter Transportation

As urban and regional transportation challenges continue to evolve, agencies require systems that can adapt in real time. Therefore, intelligent technologies are becoming essential for modern traffic management. These innovations support the broader vision of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Ultimately, the goal is to deliver safer, more reliable mobility for all roadway users.

Through continued collaboration and innovation, Econolite and its partners remain committed to advancing intelligent mobility solutions. These efforts help communities improve traffic operations, enhance roadway safety, and prepare for the connected transportation systems of the future.
