Mapping the adoption of artificial intelligence in urban mobility.
Article in Open research Europe, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Urban transportation systems are undergoing a critical transformation driven by advances in artificial intelligence (AI). Despite many technical and theoretical discussions of AI technologies and a few case studies of AI implementation in selected cities, there remains a large gap in our knowledge about the landscape of the adoption of AI in urban mobility. This study addresses this gap by asking: where, when, how, and for which modes is AI being integrated into urban mobility across Europe? By systematically searching authoritative and publicly available data sources, i.e., the EU Urban Mobility Observatory and official city websites, complemented by manual content analysis, this work documents the geographic distribution, temporal trends, use cases, and transportation modes of AI adoption. As of the end of 2025, the analysis identified 107 AI deployments across 82 cities in 22 European countries. It shows a clear acceleration in adoption after 2022. The deployments fall into eight broad categories: infrastructure condition monitoring, traffic monitoring and analytics, vehicle automation, traffic signal control, public-facing digital services, parking management, transport service operations, and violation detection. In terms of transport mode, adoption is road-centric, with road applications accounting for 89% of recorded cases, while rail, air, waterborne, and cross-modal deployments are relatively rare. The compiled data are openly available online. This work is among the first efforts to establish an empirical base for assessing the prevalence of AI in urban mobility. It aims to provide urban planners, policymakers, and researchers with a better understanding of current AI adoption practices in the European context.
