Intel at ITS World Congress 2025 – Driving Real-World Edge AI Today!
We’ve just returned from ITS World Congress 2025 in Atlanta, the world’s largest gathering for intelligent transportation and mobility innovation. From August 24–28, the event brought together nearly 6,000 participants from 61 countries, all focused on shaping the future of safer, smarter, and more connected transportation.
This year’s event gave Intel, and our ecosystem partners, the opportunity to demonstrate how we’ve moved beyond the lab and into real-world deployment. Our edge AI solutions are already addressing safety, operational, and cost challenges for cities and transportation operators, powered by advancements in visual AI, sensor fusion, and edge computing.
Together with our partners, Intel is transforming transportation with intelligent, market-ready solutions that improve decision-making, automate operations, and scale impact across roadways, fleets, ports, airports, and rail systems.

On Stage with Industry Voices
Our panel, “Smart & Agile Edge Infrastructure for Transportation,” featured leading voices from Intel, Accenture, Umovity , Center for Urban Infomatics and Progress at University of Tennesse at Chattanooga (CUIP), and Intelligent Security Systems (ISS). Moderated by Prakash Kartha, the discussion highlighted open-edge architecture, agentic systems, and scaling pilots to full production.
As Renu Navale emphasized: “Portability and openness aren’t nice-to-haves—they’re the foundation for scaling edge AI.”
Together Forward with Industry Partners
With a packed house of industry leaders across cities, DOTs, OEMs, ISVs, and platform partners, Intel’s David Guzzi and Renu Navale shared bold insights on celebrating execution and accelerating deployment, while Prakash Kartha’s introductions paved the way for candid discussions on portability, procurement, and security.
The Intel Team on the Ground
In addition to live demos and partner showcases, Intel’s transportation and edge AI leadership team was fully engaged throughout the week—meeting with customers, collaborating with ecosystem partners, and sharing insights that are shaping the future of intelligent mobility.
