PLANET

Under the EU’s Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) Regulation, 431 urban nodes must implement Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) and Sustainable Urban Logistics Plans (SULPs) by 2027–2030. More than 1,000 EU cities with over 50,000 inhabitants are already engaged in this process. Yet many municipalities lack the internal capacity and tools needed to manage a full SUMP cycle. 

Cities therefore rely on external consultants, while roughly 70% of SUMP preparation costs are spent on manual tasks such as document consolidation and data preparation. This slows delivery and leaves cities reacting to trends rather than actively shaping policy. Planning with AI for Next-Generation, Equitable Transport (PLANET) allows the largest portion of the budget to be reallocated away from administrative overheads and toward deeper analysis, more nuanced scenario modelling and a much greater focus on actual project implementation. 

PLANET is an AI-powered solution that streamlines these tasks by structuring planning documents, integrating mobility data and generating traceable, governance-ready indicators and pre-filled report sections that consultants and cities can build on to produce solid, auditable reports. 

Delivery cycles shrink from months to weeks. PLANET provides regular platform updates, allowing consultants to focus on high-value local analysis. The platform equips consultants and cities to facilitate seamless collaboration, while providing insight and traceability of the underlying data and the planning process. 

PLANET is being developed as a market-ready software product, designed for adoption by mobility consultancies and public administrations preparing SUMPs and SULPs across Europe. A subscription-based model gives planning teams access to AI-supported tools without additional infrastructure investment, which promotes replication across multiple national planning frameworks beyond the pilot cities of Las Rozas de Madrid and Wiesbaden.
