The IDI platform is a leap into
integrating aerial services in
multi-modal traffic and next generation cities and regions operations.
About IDI
ITS* – Driven Innovative aerial services
*Intelligent Transport Systems and Services
Imagine a world where aerial services blend with ground and underground transport, logistics, monitoring and surveillance operations, creating a faster, more flexible, secure, resilient and sustainable urban environment.
Powered by ERTICO – ITS Europe, the IDI Platform aims to make this vision a reality.
Why the
IDI Platform
Traffic and city operations are evolving faster than ever, and the demand for innovative, efficient, and sustainable traffic solutions as well as effective city operations, are at an all-time high.
There is an imperative for the interoperability and integration of air and ground traffic data and services.
The IDI Platform accelerates this transition by:
- Integrating Aerial & Terrestrial Transportation Infrastructure and Services: Harmonising drones and other emerging aerial services with existing transport and operational frameworks.
- Fostering Collaboration: Connecting public and private sectors, academia, and civil society to deliver next-gen solutions.
- Driving Innovation: Setting standards, addressing regulatory challenges, and promoting cross-sectoral initiatives to ensure safety, security, and sustainability.
We nurture a quadruple helix innovation model including academia & universities; industry & business; government & public sector; and civil society.

We’ll connect the dots between Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and Innovative Aerial Services (IAS), ensuring that governance principles, operational procedures, and collaborative business/organisational models are robust and future-ready.
Join us as we accelerate the responsible deployment of IAS through ITS-Driven integration enabled by cross-sectoral collaboration and orchestration. Your involvement will help steer the future of next generation city and regions operations, including urban and regional mobility, to the third dimension: the air.
