DITM Day 2025: the latest developments and innovations in smart mobility
Stan de Schwartz, HTSM specialist at Hezelburcht, attended the DITM Day 2025 on 20 November at NXP, located on the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven. In this article, he shares the latest smart mobility innovations presented during the event and highlights Hezelburcht’s role in driving these developments forward.
Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the DITM Day 2025 at NXP in Eindhoven. An event dedicated to the newest advancements in digital infrastructure and automated mobility. Live demonstrations of UWB localisation, imaging radar, hybrid perception and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication clearly showed how rapidly the foundations for autonomous mobility services are evolving. One message resonated throughout the day: the next generation of mobility will be built on sensor fusion, connectivity and seamless coordination between vehicles and their surroundings.
Hezelburcht’s contribution to groundbreaking mobility projects
These themes align closely with the innovation projects we support and help coordinate at Hezelburcht. One of these projects involves a large international consortium developing a fully automated parking and charging ecosystem for complex real-world environments, such as airports, multi-storey car parks and densely built urban areas. The initiative focuses on combining precise localisation, robust perception, digital access control and orchestrated vehicle-infrastructure interaction to enable vehicles to enter, navigate, park, align, charge and exit completely autonomously.
In parallel, we support V-tron in developing the next generation of cooperative driving technologies. In this field, vehicles no longer operate as isolated systems, instead, they continuously exchange information using multi-protocol communication, forming a shared situational awareness that extends far beyond the range of individual onboard sensors. This enables vehicles to anticipate hazards earlier, communicate intent and operate more safely and efficiently in dynamic traffic environments.
DITM Day 2025 highlights the importance of our innovation projects
A key takeaway from DITM Day 2025 was how strongly the showcased technologies reinforce the direction of both projects. Advances in UWB-based positioning, radar perception, real-time communication and cooperative intelligence are precisely the building blocks needed for autonomous parking facilities as well as cooperative driving on public roads. The event made clear that the industry is converging around the same principles our consortia actively apply in practice: interoperable systems, hybrid sensor architectures and seamless integration between vehicles and infrastructure.
In short, the insights from DITM Day 2025 confirm that the work taking place within these Hezelburcht-supported projects is not only timely but directly aligned with the direction in which automated mobility is heading.
