“Managed lanes are dynamically priced — prices change every three to five minutes depending on congestion, and with AI we are improving the pricing algorithm to better anticipate events that will create congestion (for example, a Taylor Swift concert) so we can adapt pricing and offer reliable value to users.”
On , Silvia Ruiz, Investor Relations Director at Ferrovial SE, spoke about AI during Ferrovial’s Silvia Ruiz on the roles of technology and partnerships in highway development on Institutional Real Estate, Inc..
Silvia Ruiz, global head of investor relations at Ferrovial, discussed the role of technology and public-private partnerships in highway development in an August 2025 interview. She stated that some sources point to a future funding gap of approximately $4 trillion for U.S. infrastructure by 2040. Ruiz described managed lanes as dynamically priced, with prices changing every three to five minutes depending on congestion, and said that Ferrovial is using AI to improve the pricing algorithm to better anticipate events that create congestion, such as a Taylor Swift concert, in order to adapt pricing and offer reliable value to users. Ruiz said that long-term partnerships are key to helping the public sector address congestion, and that delivery is critical. She noted that Ferrovial has delivered most of its projects on time or ahead of schedule, and emphasized that a reliable partner must manage risks during construction. She identified a long-term view, delivery from a construction perspective, and a data-driven approach to maximize value for users as key elements of successful partnerships.
