ICT InTraffic and ICT TriOpSys are organizing an online webinar on 9 February 2026 about the control room of the future. Control rooms form the central command point of public transportation and are under increasing pressure due to growing complexity, digitalization, and the need for faster and more proactive action. This requires a new way of working, in which people, processes, and technology come together closely.

The Control Room as a Command Function

During this interactive webinar, experts from RET, NS, and GVB will discuss the development of control rooms into a proactive command function. Operators are evolving from centralists to directors, with a greater focus on decision-making, competencies, and collaboration with chain partners. By harmonizing processes and intelligently using technology such as data, AI, real-time information, and modern communication systems, control rooms can better predict disruptions and manage them more effectively. The webinar offers valuable practical insights, concrete examples, and inspiration from the field. Experienced speakers will share their vision of the role of control rooms within the chain and highlight opportunities and challenges regarding people, technology, and processes. The session is relevant for anyone involved with control rooms in public transportation.

Speakers:

  • Frank Bontje – Head of Control Room, NS
  • Tom Deijl – Manager, Central Traffic Control, RET
  • Philip Hupkes – Director, BaanVak
  • Nicole Ouwerkerk – Manager, Transport Communication Center, GVB
