The partnership with PTV Group correlates to the investments Arcadis is making in its digital capability and broader strategic vision to leverage data and our asset knowledge in key domains of our business to better meet the future needs of clients around mobility. Additionally, it supports our goal of helping to "create a sustainable future" along with a mission of improving quality of life. 

Arcadis has experience using PTV market-leading software and employs modelling specialists throughout its global business. Arcadis and PTV are collaborating to untap the potential to reshape the way that mobility data is used to plan and manage future mobility needs of people living in cities. There is a huge opportunity to rethink the way that our cities are planned and managed, drawing on contemporary knowledge of internet of things, connected vehicles, environmental monitoring, traffic control systems, incident management, and building information modelling (BIM) to develop and strengthen synergies.  

Arcadis' attractive blend of management consultancy combined with practical design and engineering know-how, complements PTV's technology offering and strengthens our ability to drive value to our clients. The Arcadis-PTV partnership will help both organizations to evolve thinking and develop a practical roadmap to deliver future urban mobility strategy.

There is strong demand worldwide for state-of-the art technology in the field of mobility. The PTV modelling software is used in over 120 countries. Vehicle manufacturers, service providers, logistics service providers, technology suppliers and urban planners are all interested in new mobility services that re-think mobility as a service (MaaS). PTV has developed an integrated platform for the delivery of MaaS covering a portfolio of technologies, from planning to operation and control. Arcadis is developing MaaS for the central business district of Amsterdam. We look ahead to an exciting future full of enormous potential through our collaboration with PTV to progress market-leading MaaS platforms for our clients. 

Stephan Ritter, Arcadis Group Executive Innovation and Transformation, said the following: "Arcadis is excited to partner with PTV to discover additional ways that mobility data can be leveraged in planning and managing future urban mobility requirements. Our unique blend of management consultancy and engineering capability complements PTV's cutting edge transport modeling technology. Together we aim to provide enhanced mobility solutions to our clients, as well as strengthen our urban strategy and disrupt the field of global transportation modelling."
