Starting point

Five real challenges facing Polish cities today

Before we propose a solution, we name the problem plainly — the way road authorities, planners and residents actually see it.

01

Fragmented, incompatible data

Cameras, sensors, GPS systems and city platforms operate in isolation, so no one sees the full, real-time picture of traffic in the city.

02

Decisions made without forecasts

Road investments and traffic-scheme changes are still more often based on experience than on models predicting their real effect.

03

Rising congestion and emissions

Polish cities are today among the most congested in Europe — costing residents time, fuel and air quality.

04

Slow response to incidents

Without predictive monitoring, a road incident is noticed only once congestion is already a fact, not a risk.

05

Hard-to-communicate decisions

Public authorities often lack clear tools to show residents and investors why a given spatial decision was made.

The scale of the problem

Polish cities in numbers

Urban mobility is today one of the most measurable problems in Polish urban planning.

59,4%

of Poles live in cities (GUS, 2024 data) — more than 22 million people relying every day on urban transport infrastructure.

72,8%

peak-hour congestion level recorded in Łódź — the most congested city in Poland (TomTom Traffic Index 2026).

~30 min

the average time to cover 10 km at peak hour in Wrocław today — the longest among Polish cities covered by the TomTom report.

5 dni 19 h

lost every year by the average driver in Poznań sitting in traffic — more than a working week spent in the car (TomTom Traffic Index 2025/26).

Data collection & integration

Advanced systems combining data from cameras, traffic sensors, GPS and city platforms into one coherent picture of mobility — the foundation for predictive analytics and real-time monitoring.

AI-based predictive models

Decision support systems (DSS)

We integrate city data, AI and expert knowledge into tools for real-time traffic management, scenario evaluation and long-term planning.

Research reports & expert analysis

Our interdisciplinary team delivers practical, data-backed recommendations that support evidence-based urban policy.

Pilots & test deployments

Urbidyn R&D Lab

What sets us apart

We don’t sell off-the-shelf software — we build tools tailored to a specific city, street and problem.

01

An interdisciplinary team under one roof

Bridge and road engineers, GIS specialists, AI researchers and geotechnical experts work on the same problem in parallel, not in sequence.

02

Our own scientific research

We combine knowledge of urban planning, traffic engineering and artificial intelligence, running research that later feeds directly into our deployed tools.

03

Real measurements, not just simulations

We train and verify our models on data collected directly on the street — as with the measurement section on Al. Jana Pawła II in Kraków.

04

Engineering backbone of the MP Mosty Group

The team grew out of a company delivering large-scale road, bridge and rail infrastructure projects — we understand the constraints of real-world construction.

How we work

Method manifesto

01 / data

We start with measurement, not assumptions — a model is only as good as the data it stands on.

02 / adaptation

We build adaptive tools that learn together with the city, instead of freezing it at a single point in time.

03 / prediction

We don’t describe the past — we predict the effects of decisions before they are made.

04 / transparency

We explain every model in the decision-maker’s language — no black box, no empty jargon.

05 / pilot

We test under real conditions before proposing full deployment — small steps, measurable results.

06 / people

Technology serves residents — every metric ultimately translates into people’s time and safety.

Still have doubts?

Fair enough — see what independent research says

AI in traffic management isn’t an empty promise. Here are results from deployments in Poland, Europe and China.

China · 100 most congested cities

−11% travel time at peak hours

Data-driven adaptive traffic signals cut travel time by 11% at peak and 8% off-peak, with estimated societal benefits of USD 31.8 billion a year against an implementation cost of USD 1.48 billion.

USA · Pittsburgh (Surtrac)

−25% travel time, −40% idling

An AI-driven adaptive signal system cut travel time by over 25% and reduced vehicle idling time by 40% in pilot areas.

Poland

Congestion costs Polish cities days of work every year

In the most congested Polish cities (Łódź, Lublin, Poznań, Wrocław), drivers lose several days a year sitting in traffic — these are exactly the corridors that benefit most from predictive traffic management.

FAQ

Questions most clients ask

It depends on scope and data availability — a typical pilot on a single measurement section takes 6 to 12 weeks, from sensor installation to the first predictive reports.

Not always. We can use existing city cameras and sensors, supplementing them with our own measurement points where data is incomplete — as with the section on Al. Jana Pawła II in Kraków.

Data remains the property of the city or client. We work with aggregated and anonymised data wherever possible, in line with GDPR requirements and critical-infrastructure guidelines.

No. We scale our models proportionally to the size of the road network — we’ve worked on single sections and intersections as well as analyses covering entire districts.

Yes — we offer training for internal teams, ongoing care for predictive models, and recurring reports that update forecasts as new data comes in.

On engineering and environmental projects we work with, among others, Mosty Kraków (formerly MP Mosty) and Geomind — combining construction and geoinformatics expertise.
