PTV Group Opens Warsaw Office in Eastern Europe Expansion
24th July 2018
The PTV Group is repositioning itself in Central and Eastern Europe by opening its own office in Warsaw, Poland. Managing Directors Martyna Abendrot and Peter Möhl are taking on responsibility for the new office.
One of their flagship projects for integrated, innovative traffic management, which is based on PTV software, is Lublin in the east of Poland. The city uses a macroscopic transport model for its strategic planning, including microscopic simulations for the analysis as well as real-time traffic management solutions for the operative control of the everyday traffic flow.
Customers also include logistics companies such as Omega Pilzno that, with PTV Map&Guide, count on the standard solution for distance and toll cost calculations, and also the Raben Group, which uses PTV software internationally in its European offices for professional trip planning, distribution or for navigation within a framework agreement.
In logistics there is an increasing labour shortage in warehouses and in particular a lack of qualified truck drivers. At the same time, lowest possible shipping costs and increasingly fast availability of the required goods are demanded on the market. This immensely intensifies the competitive situation. Gaining transparency on transport and its associated costs therefore has a high priority. Additionally, logistics companies want real-time information for the entire supply chain as well as software support in planning and optimising their transport logistics.
The field of traffic and transportation will be characterised in future by intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and electric mobility. “We see a lot of potential in the Eastern European market for the development of master plans for smart cities with innovative mobility stations and services for the mobility of the future,” reports Peter Möhl as Managing Director who, together with Martyna Abendrot, is responsible for the sale of software products in the field of transport and logistics.
Martyna Abendrot adds: “Modern software solutions, like those by PTV, help transport planners and logistics dispatchers to analyse future scenarios and thus to better design existing infrastructures and transport processes.”
