Every innovation needs to be carefully tested. And as OmniFlow explores a new approach to mobility data, piloting is an essential part of our journey.

Over the coming months, the OmniFlow approach will be piloted in two Baltic cities – Šiauliai (Lithuania), and Jelgava (Latvia), together with their surrounding district areas. Last week, our consortium met with representatives of both pilot sites to kick off the project activities and discuss local needs, available data, potential use cases, and the next steps.

Both cities face a challenge familiar to many municipalities: mobility information can be fragmented, limited to certain locations, or collected only at specific points in time. This can make it difficult to build a complete picture of traffic flows and use it effectively for transport planning, public transport optimisation, and infrastructure decisions.

Through the pilots, OmniFlow will explore how aggregated mobile network data, combined with existing road sensor information, can help fill these gaps and provide a broader and more continuous understanding of traffic flows across urban and surrounding district areas.

And the ambition goes beyond two pilot cities. By testing the approach in Šiauliai and Jelgava, we aim to learn how similar mobility insights could eventually support municipalities and communities elsewhere in Europe.

Thank you to our pilot partners – Šiauliai City Municipality Administration and Jelgava City State Local Government – for the productive discussions. We look forward to seeing the pilots develop over the coming months!
