Cities are under pressure to do more with less: shrinking budgets, understaffed teams, and aging infrastructure. Miovision’s Intelligent Mobility platform and AI assistant Mateo are helping transportation agencies shift from reactive management to proactive, data-driven operations.
February was a defining month for Miovision, marked by bold market positioning, third-party research validation, and a product that’s rapidly redefining what transportation intelligence can look like.
Here’s a look at the three major themes that shaped our February story.
Staking Our Claim in Intelligent Mobility
This month, Miovision took a significant step forward in establishing leadership in the Intelligent Mobility market with the launch of our Intelligent Mobility page and an accompanying hero video.
Intelligent mobility is a connected ecosystem of technologies that drive improvements in efficiency, productivity, and safety, orchestrating everything into a single operation and solution. | Kurtis McBride, CEO
The challenge Intelligent Mobility addresses is real, urgent, and growing. Cities are under mounting pressure to achieve Vision Zero goals, the global initiative to eliminate traffic fatalities, while simultaneously managing shrinking staff and stretched budgets.
They’re contending with rising demands from cyclists, pedestrians, transit riders, emergency vehicles, and the emerging reality of autonomous vehicles, all competing for infrastructure that is physically constrained and chronically underfunded.
At the same time, siloed departments, fragmented data systems, and reactive management approaches continue to hold back meaningful progress. At its core, Miovision operates at the leading edge of the intelligent transportation system (ITS) market, providing next-generation technology that orchestrates transportation systems, road networks, and autonomous vehicles through connectivity, analytics, and artificial intelligence.
The result is improved road efficiency, traffic flow, and safety across all modes of travel. Spanning the planning, deployment, operations, and expansion phases of a transportation lifecycle, it helps both public and private organizations shift from reactive management to proactive, AI-enabled orchestration.
With 186 patents, deep experience across the mobility market, and a solution set that supports more stakeholders in a city than any competitor, Miovision is uniquely positioned to lead.
No single player dominates the Intelligent Mobility space today, and that’s precisely the opportunity we are pursuing. Our analyst engagement is already underway, with active briefings with 451 Research and Gartner in progress, and a growing industry presence leading into ITS America in June.
What the Data Says: State of Intelligent Mobility in 2026
To ground our market leadership in independent research, Miovision commissioned a Pathfinder Paper from 451 Research, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence: The State of Intelligent Mobility in 2026: Paving the Way to Smarter Cities.
The findings paint a clear picture of where the market stands and where the opportunity lies.
The largest share (38%)of North American government organizations surveyed is currently in the evaluation stage of digital transformation, actively planning and researching strategies, but not yet in full execution. Another 24% remain at the consideration stage with no formal plans in place.
Together, these represent a significant and largely untapped opportunity for intelligent mobility investment, one that Miovision is positioned to help unlock.
AI Adoption
The data tells an encouraging story when it comes to AI adoption: public agencies are rivaling their private-sector counterparts. While 38% of government respondents remain in the proof-of-concept phase, nearly a quarter have already scaled AI deployments to production, a meaningful signal that government is no longer the technology laggard it was once perceived to be.
These agencies are using AI across core transportation functions, including traffic management, incident detection, demand forecasting, and predictive maintenance to deliver more responsive, data-driven operations.
Among the ITS use cases most widely deployed today:
- digital signage leads with 34% adoption,
- followed by transit signal priority (24%),
- mobility as a service (23%),
- and public transportation optimization (22%).
V2X equipment (a cornerstone of modern intelligent transportation systems) has reached 20% deployment, a strong foundation for the next wave of connected infrastructure.
When it comes to funding, 54% of government respondents expect to rely on federal grants or subsidies to finance smart city initiatives, followed by state grants (46%) and existing city budgets (30%). This underscores the importance of aligning intelligent mobility solutions with established transportation funding streams, a reality Miovision understands well.
The report’s conclusions are clear: generative and agentic AI tools are emerging as copilots for traffic and transit teams, delivering insights in minutes that would once have required months of analysis. The shift from isolated point solutions to integrated, AI-enabled intelligent transportation systems is underway, and the window to establish leadership is now.
Mateo: Miovision’s AI Assistant for Transportation Professionals
Perhaps the most exciting development this February is the continued momentum behind Mateo, Miovision’s AI assistant purpose-built for transportation teams.
Mateo was rebuilt from 40+ custom tools into one unified execution model, improving speed, reliability, and multi-source insights.
It features:
- secure, read-only data access within an organization’s sandbox,
- on-the-fly data visualizations including interactive tables, maps, and charts,
- and an expanding library of real-world use cases.
The connection to the 451 Research findings is direct: as that report identifies, generative and agentic AI tools are emerging as the next frontier for transportation teams, delivering analysis that previously required months of manual work. Mateo is exactly that tool, built specifically for the Miovision ecosystem and the professionals who depend on it every day.
During its alpha period (December through late January), Mateo generated 288 queries across 45 chats among 10 users across four accounts, a strong early signal of engagement for a product still in controlled access.
The use cases Mateo is enabling span the full operational breadth of what transportation agencies need. Here’s how:
- Resolving signal performance issues by connecting timing plans, detection, and count data.
- Generating before-and-after reporting with data-based visualizations.
- Assessing transit bus on-time performance.
- Prioritizing intersection maintenance and scanning camera networks for malfunctions.
- Identifying safety countermeasures based on near-miss data.
- Helping teams determine where solutions like adaptive signals or Opticom EVP deliver the most value.
Mateo’s Go-to-Market Timeline is Moving Quickly
A closed beta with 20 hand-selected accounts launched February 12. An open beta expanding to 30 additional customers is planned for March 19. General availability is targeted for April 7, 2026, with a full press release, demand generation campaigns, and a comprehensive content and marketing kit at launch. ITS America in June will serve as the first major industry stage to showcase Mateo at scale, with the goal of announcing the first major paid customers and new integrations.

Looking Ahead
February set the foundation. With our Intelligent Mobility positioning live in market, the 451 Research report establishing independent validation of the opportunity, and Mateo moving rapidly toward general availability, Miovision enters the spring with clear momentum and a sharper identity than ever.
The road to ITS America, to recognized Intelligent Mobility leadership, and to a future where every city can move smarter all starts now.
