The OpenMove Olympic MaaS

The Milano–Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics represent an international event of exceptional scale, not only because of the number of spectators and stakeholders involved, but also due to the logistical complexity that comes with it. For the first time in history, these are being described as “distributed Olympics”, because the Games will take place across a wide, fragmented territory, spread between urban hubs and Alpine locations: Milan, Cortina d’Ampezzo, Livigno, and Bormio are just some of the key reference areas.
This unique setup significantly amplifies the impact of mobility on the Olympic experience, because it requires reliable, continuous connections between places that differ greatly in distance, available infrastructure, and seasonality, clearly affecting travel for both spectators and accredited users (athletes, Olympic delegations, journalists).
In this context, mobility becomes a fundamental enabler of the Games: it must operate in a scalable way and be easy to understand for people coming from all over the world, ensuring a seamless experience for the general public while also maintaining high levels of control and security for accredited groups.

Challenge
The main challenge of Milano–Cortina 2026 was, first and foremost, to provide digital services to very different audiences, each with distinct needs and expectations. On the one hand, for spectators, it was necessary to ensure a simple and immediate experience, with consistent, reliable, and real-time updated information, able to support travel between venues that are far apart as if they belonged to a single integrated system, across a multimodal offer that includes buses, trams, metro, shuttles and dedicated services, cars, and trains. On the other hand, for accredited users, in addition to the services described above, it was necessary to enable personalized features such as viewing dedicated transfer services and purchasing travel tickets.
This requirement was shaped by two major, closely interconnected layers of complexity. The first concerned the ecosystem: the Games required integrating, into a single platform, a variety of operators that differ significantly in service models, territorial coverage, and digital maturity, with the goal of ensuring a coherent experience across the entire Alpine macro-region involved. This heterogeneity was not only organizational, but also functional, because it meant bringing together different services and operational logics and making them interoperable with data and standards that were not always uniform, while preserving informational continuity and the quality of the user experience. The second crucial factor was time: the project had a compressed delivery window, with a start date tied to the opening of the Games and therefore effectively non-negotiable.
Further complicating the picture, the availability of “baseline” data was not sufficient: GTFS feeds for planned services alone often do not include essential elements for a complete experience, such as fares to correctly associate a price with the selected route, or shapes and metadata that help improve the quality and accuracy of journey planning. Moreover, in a high-pressure operational event, real-time information and service changes became decisive: disruptions, detours, and updates had to be communicated promptly and consistently across all channels, because any misalignment would immediately translate into impacts on the travel experience and, in turn, on the overall operations of the Games.

Solution
Based on the challenges described, OpenMove designed and implemented, and today delivers and maintains, the mobility management platform for the Milano–Cortina 2026 Olympics. The platform is built to collect, normalize, and enrich data, and then expose it through APIs; in this way, heterogeneous sources are transformed into a single, consistent, reusable information asset that can be leveraged by the different channels and systems involved. This API-first approach is part of OpenMove’s DNA and aligns with the API ecosystem we have long made available at api.openmove.com, designed to enable rapid integration, reuse, and strong governance of mobility data.
The work starts with the acquisition of datasets from operators and event-specific services. The system verifies their quality and consistency and harmonizes them into standard formats, managing GTFS for scheduled services and GTFS-RT for real-time information, as well as shapes and fare information (Fares files) to correctly match routes and prices and improve the journey-planning experience.

On this foundation, OpenMove builds an API-first layer that makes data reliably available to third-party systems and different channels, including:
• Apple and Google: for publishing and displaying transport information in Apple Maps and Google Maps.
• Fondazione Milano Cortina administrative dashboard: designed for monitoring and operational management of services during the Games.
• Dedicated app for accredited users: where, in addition to public mobility options, users can access dedicated services (such as official shuttles and transfers) and use in-app ticketing features for Trenitalia, ATM, and Trenord, ensuring an integrated and consistent experience across information, operations, and service usage.

The platform effectively enables an Olympic MaaS experience, where accredited users can plan multimodal journeys and access multiple services within a single digital experience, without being redirected to third-party solutions.

Innovation
The project’s innovation lies not only in data integration, but in the ability to turn data into an industrialized digital service, delivered with reliability and performance standards suited to a global event.
OpenMove adopts a cloud-native, API-first architecture in which the central backend, OpenMove NUCLEUS, collects, normalizes, and enriches mobility information, exposing it securely and consistently to heterogeneous platforms and applications (see OpenMove’s API page – api.openmove.com). In this model, APIs become critical infrastructure: they are designed to guarantee uptime of up to 99.99%, sustain loads on the order of millions of users per day, and maintain fast, stable response times (under 800 ms) even during peak moments, both for data access and for latency-sensitive services such as the journey-planning algorithm and real-time information updates.
This robustness is complemented by a key element: interoperability speed, i.e., the ability to connect and operationalize third-party systems in a very short time. Thanks to connectors, standardized flows, and structured data-ingestion processes, new sources and new stakeholders can be integrated quickly, drastically reducing timelines and complexity compared to traditional projects.
The result is a backend system that does not simply “publish” data, but makes it reliable, measurable, and scalable, with monitoring and resilience mechanisms designed to ensure operational continuity, informational consistency, and a smooth user experience across the entire digital chain—from journey planning to integrations with third-party systems.

“Pedala i territori” with Pin Pike

The new year begins with a political and financial signal that deserves attention. For the first time, after eight years of work by TTS Italia ordinary member Pin Bike, we are witnessing a season in which the Italian government is providing municipal public administrations with extensive and structured economic tools, geared not only towards infrastructure but also – and above all – towards measures, services and behavioural changes. It is more of a cultural shift than a technical one.

For those working in the world of sustainable mobility, this scenario represents a concrete opportunity to finally talk about nudging, incentives, promotion and active policies capable of guiding citizens and workers towards more informed choices in their daily travel. Cities do not change only with new cycle paths or electric fleets, but when intelligent mechanisms are activated that make change desirable and convenient.

In this context, Pin Bike offers itself as an operational partner to administrations that intend to seize these opportunities. Its support is not limited to the technological component: the team also helps institutions with project design and technical assistance, bringing its know-how gained through years of concrete implementation in different territories. The results are not mere statements but figures that can be verified in real time through the open data platform: https://web.pin.bike/open/all 

Alongside projects designed to improve urban mobility and commuting, 2026 also marks the launch of a new line of action dedicated to promoting tourism and enhancing local attractions. 'Pedala i Territori' (Cycle the Territories) is a light version of the project, which can be activated with small participation fees from the local authorities involved. It involves mapping points of tourist interest and awarding incentives to those who visit them by bicycle. The launch is scheduled for this spring, with 25 local authorities already on board: an initial group that demonstrates interest in slow, measurable and sustainability-oriented models of tourism.

Let’s have a glimpse at Pin Bike. It is a patented, anti-fraud and certifying digital system that monitors and incentivises urban travel and commuting by private bicycle, transforming it into mobility vouchers that can be spent exclusively in local shops, thus supporting local commerce. At the same time, it offers administrations an advanced monitoring and planning tool, with heat maps that can be filtered by time slot, age and time of year, and the possibility of communicating directly with citizens through questionnaires and dedicated messages.
The data updated at the end of 2025 shows the scope of the programme: over 27,000 active users, more than 1.5 million home-to-work sessions tracked, over 11 million kilometres travelled, more than €2.5 million paid out in incentives and over 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 saved. These figures describe a trajectory that is already underway and ready to grow alongside cities that choose to invest not only in infrastructure but also in people.

Milan-Cortina 2026: Pluservice's management of LTZ access permits

For the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games, mobility management posed one of the most complex organizational challenges. To respond to an extraordinary influx of visitors without compromising daily life in the areas, an integrated digital platform was introduced, designed to coordinate access, traffic, and travel in a sustainable manner.
In contexts of this magnitude, smart mobility is not just a logistical issue: it becomes a true indicator of a country's organizational capacity. Ensuring orderly flows improves the experience of residents and visitors, but also reduces environmental impact, a key concern for sensitive areas like the Alpine ones. Digital access and monitoring systems help limit congestion and emissions, contributing to a more efficient and responsible management model.

The project
Pluservice's contribution, developed in collaboration with myCicero, involves providing a digital platform used to regulate access to the special restricted traffic zones activated in the main districts affected by the events.

To avoid overloading infrastructure, the territories have been divided into zones with varying levels of restrictions, defined based on proximity to the competition venues and expected traffic pressure.

Unified platform
A dedicated public portal allows residents, workers, and visitors to quickly check whether their destination falls within a regulated zone.
The system manages the documentation and data provided (bookings, residence, authorizations) to allow operators to quickly verify access requirements.

Involved areas
The smart mobility model has been applied to the main mountain clusters, with color-coded divisions to identify the level of permitted access:
• Cortina d'Ampezzo: highly restricted zone around the sports facilities and a larger area for the town center.
• Valtellina (Bormio, Livigno, and neighboring municipalities): subdivision into macro-areas with different levels of filtering to manage tourist flows.
• Rasun-Anterselva: distinction between the Arena area and the valley centers.

Types of LTZ access passes
The system was designed to adapt to different needs, offering two main authorization methods:
• Multi-day passes: intended for residents, workers, hospitality facilities, and all users requiring continuous access throughout the entire game time period, they are issued upon digital approval and associated with the vehicle for quick checks at the gates.
• Digital daily passes: designed for visitors, hospitality guests, and suppliers, they are sent via email with a QR code or PDF document before access.
The infrastructure is sized to handle high peaks in demand, even allowing for last-minute issuance through support points across the territory.

A sustainability-oriented approach
The system's goal is not to limit travel, but to make it more efficient and predictable. Digital access allows for:
• advance estimation of the number of vehicles in different areas
• encourage the use of enhanced public transport
• reduce traffic, travel times, and emissions
• improve safety and emergency management

A smart mobility model for future major events
The 2026 experience represents a concrete example of how technology can transform large-scale flow management. Digitizing permits and authorizations means moving from bureaucratic processes to integrated services where planning and access become part of a single travel experience.

From Reactive Safety to Intelligent Prevention: The Province of Latina adopts Wetraffic®

Managing provincial road infrastructure today requires balancing regulatory monitoring obligations with limited maintenance budgets. The Province of Latina has addressed this by adopting an integrated, data-driven vision, transforming raw information into strategic decisions through a partnership with our member Trafficlab S.r.l.

Beyond Reaction: A Platform for 7500 Road Segments
Managing a complex network demands tools capable of integrating road geometry, historical crash data, and real-time flows. At the heart of the project is Wetraffic®, an ACN and ISO 27001 certified modular cloud platform. It represents a paradigm shift from fragmented data to systemic orchestration.

The Four Project Pillars
The initiative is built on four key integrated activities covering the entire safety management cycle:
1. Functional Classification: each network segment is analyzed according to the Highway Code (Codice della Strada – D.M. 2001 and 2006). This creates a structured knowledge base that feeds all subsequent modules.
2. Safety Manager (Accidents Analysis): this module translates ten years of historical ISTAT data into operational intelligence. Accidents are georeferenced and accompanied by all relevant details, allowing precise filtered searches and the identification of the routes at greatest risk based on the social cost, with the aim of guiding infrastructure programming.
3. Risk Analysis (MCDA): using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis in a GIS environment, the system combines accident rates, traffic volumes (ADT), gradients, barrier conditions as well as other risk factors such as the presence of watercourses or railways. The result is an objective risk index for every 500-meter section, which allows intervention priorities based on scientific criteria.
4. Traffic Monitoring: knowledge of actual road usage is achieved through complementary technologies. Floating Car Data (FCD) provides continuous network coverage, while periodic monitoring sessions using smart cameras with computer vision (utilizing the FLOW module) analyze vehicle trajectories and categories to validate predictive models.

The conference's key topics included the future of public transportation, the relationship between urban planning and mobility in urban design, the new frontiers of road safety, the development of freight transport, last-mile logistics, home-work travel and the role of the Mobility Manager, digital technologies applied to mobility, intermobility and MaaS projects, and best practices in inclusive mobility.
Diego Galletta, Vice President of TTS Italia, participated in the session dedicated to Road Safety, focusing on telematics systems for the safety of road mobility services. Starting with some quantitative elements relating to mobility and road accidents, the presentation presented how innovation and the application of technological systems (Intelligent Transportation Systems, ITS) enable the evolution of sustainable mobility. This topic is fully recognized by European and national legislation, as well as by numerous initiatives among companies and institutions.

How to Make Urban Logistics Sustainable? A New Stakeholder Meeting with the SPOTLOG Project at TTS Italia
The sixth stakeholder meeting within the Interreg Europe SPOTLOG project, organized by TTS Italia and the Municipality of Rimini, both project partners, was held on February 11, 2026, at the TTS Italia headquarters in Rome. The theme of the meeting was "How to Make Urban Logistics Sustainable: Use Cases in Italy," during which some of the main Italian initiatives in the field of sustainable urban logistics, both private and public, were shared and discussed.
After a round of presentations and an overview of the project, including objectives and results achieved to date, the meeting got down to business.

Donata Bigazzi, Municipality of Rimini, presented the HORECA LAST MILE project, which involves three different companies (Gel Proximity, WIB, URBICO) for the implementation of refrigerated micro-hubs serving last-mile logistics. The project began in June 2025 and concluded in September 2025, with some significant positive results: time savings compared to door-to-door deliveries; and reduction of CO2 emissions (a single trip from the retailer to the micro-hub can replace up to 10 individual deliveries to the end customer). Donata also shared the Emilia-Romagna Region's initiative for urban hubs, of which there are currently 63. A call for proposals was launched on February 2, 2026, to further promote them, and each project can receive a regional grant of up to €400,000 for investments and up to €160,000 for promotion, development, and management activities.

Saverio Lavenuta, Teltonika, explained how to move from pilot models to scalable models in urban logistics: electric mobility can be an enabling factor, requiring measurement, KPIs, monitoring, and comparability. A key aspect is data reliability, which enables evidence-based decisions and improved services.

Marco Surace, Roma Servizi per la Mobilità, explained how Rome's Urban Logistics Plan is supported by several measures: the Intelligent Street Parking System (SOSPAS), which aims to optimize urban space by simplifying monitoring and management procedures for both paid and loading/unloading parking; and the exit gate project, which monitors private vehicle and freight traffic flows through the installation of eight exit gates. For both projects, stakeholders were engaged to understand the main critical issues for delivering/receiving goods for a logistics operator in Rome; whether the current access rules, in terms of time slots or vehicle characteristics, meet the needs of operators; which product categories (supply chains) require a specific delivery/reception time slot, different from those established by current regulations; and what conditions would facilitate cargo bike deliveries in the historic center.

Paolo Gandolfi and Alberto Merigo, of the Municipality of Reggio Emilia, shared a governance model implemented through the Interreg Europe GRETA project. This promoted the use of electric cargo bikes through a shared micro hub for freight transhipment, reducing emissions, noise, and space requirements in the historic center. This focused on the existing cycling culture (23% of daily trips are by bicycle) and dedicated infrastructure. Key to the project's success were stakeholder consultation to better understand the processes and logistics chain, location selection to meet operator needs, and building relationships with operators. The innovation of this governance model lies primarily in the independence of operators, the absence of third-party managers, modular spaces, and minimal shared area. The pilot project, from April to October 2025, resulted in 192 kg of CO2 avoided; it was highly appreciated by residents, merchants, and local media; and satisfied drivers with less stressful work and easier deliveries. The main lessons learned concern the importance of application and operational independence of operators, strategic relationships, and the simplicity and flexibility of spaces/models.
The meeting highlighted issues and challenges that remain common to many Italian contexts. However, the discussion clearly highlighted numerous scalable good practices that, to be effective, require clear and strong policies; public-private partnerships; adequate funding; the active participation of transport and logistics operators; a co-design process; and consultation with all stakeholders.

AI and Cybersecurity: The TTS Italia Working Group Meeting
In December 2025, TTS Italia launched a new Working Group on "AI and Cybersecurity for Passenger and Freight Transport," and the first remote meeting was held on January 29th.
Digital transformation is reshaping mobility. The upcoming decree implementing European Directive 2661/2023 and the integration of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises unprecedented efficiency, safety, and sustainability. However, this profound interconnection exposes the entire ecosystem to exponential cyber risks. "Traditional" cybersecurity is no longer sufficient. An integrated and proactive approach, guided by a rapidly evolving European regulatory framework, is needed to transform vulnerabilities into resilience and ensure trust in the future of mobility.
This is the context in which the Working Group was formed, which is currently gathering feedback and finalizing the structure of the document. The final document will be presented in Rome at a public event on June 10, 2026. The topics covered in the document include: Strategic Scenario for AI in Mobility; Cybersecurity in Connected Mobility: New Risks in a World in Motion; Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity in Mobility, as well as the relevant regulatory framework, use cases, and future scenarios.

TTS Italia hosts a new meeting to discuss the future of mobility with the EMBRACER project
On January 28, the 6th Regional Stakeholder Group Meeting of the Interreg Europe EMBRACER project took place at the TTS Italia headquarters in Rome. The meeting was organized by project partner TTS Italia, with the support of the Metropolitan City of Cagliari and CTM SpA. The meeting brought together Italian and Lithuanian stakeholders to share and discuss various experiences on autonomous driving, gamification, and intermodality, with the aim of exploring concrete solutions to improve mobility between urban and low-density communities.
After a round of general presentations, Gennaro Ciccarelli of inBlenda (a consultancy acquired by TTS Italia) provided a comprehensive update on the EMBRACER project, including its objectives of improving regional connectivity by integrating public transport with informal and non-formal modes.
Focusing on the Italian regional context, she emphasized that capacity-building actions are particularly targeted in Lazio and Sardinia, where mobility systems are undergoing major reforms but still face significant structural challenges, such as fragmented responsibilities among operators and institutions, limited technical capacity in smaller municipalities, weak inter-municipal coordination, and persistent risks of social and territorial exclusion in rural and inland areas. She outlined the main strategic directions in both regions. In Lazio, recent reforms include the establishment of the Network Unit coordinated by ASTRAL, integrated fare systems, route rationalization, and significant investments in low-emission vehicle fleets. In Sardinia, the new Regional Transport Plan 2026-2040 promotes an integrated rail-bus system and was developed through a broad territorial consultation process involving local stakeholders. Demand-Based Transport (DRT) was presented as a key operational and capacity-building tool for addressing low-demand environments. Concrete examples were discussed, including the Clic Bus service in Rome, which replaces inefficient fixed routes, the Amico Bus service in Cagliari dedicated to vulnerable users, and the EMBRACER DRT rural pilot project in Quartu, aimed at testing scalable service models in rural and peri-urban contexts. Looking to the future, Ciccarelli emphasized the need to prepare regions for Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM) and the implementation of smart roads, highlighting the importance of smart infrastructure along strategic corridors, the potential role of autonomous shuttles in filling service gaps, the growing demand for ITS and data management skills, and the strategic contribution of research institutes and universities in supporting innovation and workforce development.
In conclusion, he emphasized that, although several reforms and pilot initiatives are already underway, systemic capacity limitations still hinder large-scale implementation and the replication of successful solutions. He then stressed the need to move from isolated projects to structured and sustained interregional cooperation, including thematic working groups on digital ticketing, DRT, and preparation for the CCAM, joint training programs, exchange visits, and the use of measurable indicators to monitor the impact of policy reforms and pilot actions.

Benas Mazeika, JUDU, shared Vilnius's experience with the autonomous driving pilot project developed as part of EMBRACER. One of the pilot's main objectives was to improve accessibility in areas with limited public transport coverage. The selected route in Užupis and Paupys demonstrated how an autonomous shuttle can serve as a "first-last mile" solution, bridging the gap between residential areas and major transport corridors. Regular operations during working hours demonstrated that even short shuttle connections can significantly improve local accessibility, especially for residents who rely on walking or cycling to reach other means of public transport. The pilot project was developed in accordance with the conditions and procedures for testing and introducing autonomous vehicles into public transport established in 2018. The service served 1,022 passengers on weekday mornings, afternoons, and Saturdays during the month of November 2024. During the pilot project, the autonomous vehicle operated in autonomous mode for 91% of the total route. The vehicle faced challenges due to weather conditions, traffic behavior, and several traffic violations, as well as a less secure operating hub. JUDU also faced several planning challenges, all of which were successfully resolved, such as: bus route creation; integration with the existing transportation system/infrastructure; installation of additional/new temporary stops; and route integration into passenger information systems. An important part of the pilot project was to discover how residents perceive the service, what they expect from it, and whether they would actually use it for their daily commute. Surveys and discussions with the community revealed how willing people were to use the shuttle, what they valued, and what their concerns were. The survey showed that residents were generally open to the idea of ​​autonomous public transportation. Although acceptance levels were high, many residents admitted to having limited knowledge of autonomous technologies.
This presentation sparked an interesting discussion among the invited stakeholders on the real benefits of integrating autonomous driving into existing public transportation services. JUDU explained how the pilot project clearly demonstrated positive socioeconomic impacts and the potential to reduce air pollution. The user survey was considered particularly interesting by participants as a key point for testing innovation and mobility safety.

Daniele Diaz, Trenitalia, focused on intermodality. The event shared Trenitalia's experiences, which can be grouped into two main areas: service connectivity (such as timetable combinations, interchange safety, etc.); and information and sales of intermodal services. Regarding the first area, agreements exist with various transport operators to reach approximately 200 destinations not served by rail (schools, universities, tourist destinations). These are destinations that attract demand, but they can also be temporary services. Regarding sales/services, agreements exist for the cross-selling of tickets with some transport companies; the latter participate in fare integration systems.
This presentation sparked a discussion among participants on key mobility topics such as digital identity, Mobility as a Service (MaaS), and data.

Manola Pallini, Municipia, shared the gamification solution implemented by the city of Brescia: BrESCI is a six-month experimental project to promote sustainable mobility through gamification and rewards. It actively involved a group of citizens in a pilot phase, encouraging virtuous behavior and collecting useful data for urban planning. For Brescia, in a context of ecological and urban transition, the challenge was to incentivize virtuous behavior among citizens and city users, promoting the use of public transportation and bicycles for travel, while testing new engagement methods. The BrESCI app securely and anonymously tracks users' journeys across different modes of transportation, including private vehicles such as bicycles, assigning points based on the sustainability of the means of transport used.
The points, managed through a dedicated back office, can be converted into rewards (travel tickets, discounts) via a digital catalog.
The system also allows for the creation of personalized campaigns and user experiences.
The pilot nature of the project allowed for direct feedback from testers, which was useful for improving and adapting the app before a potential large-scale launch. The project achieved positive results, with user usage at 84%: Friday was the most popular day across all modes; demand decreased on weekends, especially Sundays; and private bicycles and public transport were the primary modes of transportation. Further expansion of the project is currently under discussion.

Silvano Angius, CTM SpA, discussed the pilot project under development within EMBRACER, focusing on a demand-based transport service in low-demand areas of Cagliari's hinterland. Based on local demand, a feasibility study was conducted to implement a demand-based public transport service in underserved areas of Cagliari's hinterland, particularly near the coast. Currently, two bus lines serve the area. However, these regular lines fail to reach all target areas, leaving peripheral areas without adequate transportation. The pilot project will create a network of on-demand shuttles that will connect to the existing bus network. The main objectives are to extend service to currently underserved areas, following existing road networks; and to provide easy connections to major bus routes.
Passengers call to book a pickup in their area. The shuttles pick them up at designated stops and take them to interchange hubs, where they board scheduled city buses to reach their final destination. Passengers reserve shuttles by calling CTM's toll-free reservation number for the following day. After booking, passengers receive the shuttle's arrival time. The shuttle takes them to bus interchange points, where they connect to the main routes. This new network uses on-demand shuttles to serve all currently underserved areas, while also utilizing existing road infrastructure.
The shuttles connect passengers to major bus routes at central interchange points, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the city. CTM is currently designing an on-demand shuttle service for underserved coastal areas (Quartu Sant’Elena and Quartucciu). Activities include planning shuttle routes, developing a telephone reservation system, and setting up pickup points and transfer hubs.
Phase 2 will begin in March 2026 and run until August 2026, and will successfully implement the pilot project. The success of the pilot project will confirm the reliability of the service and its ability to meet user needs.

Alessandro Bordigoni, Metropolitan City of Cagliari, with particular attention to the area covered by the funded pilot project—classified as a peripheral agricultural zone and coastal area within the municipalities of Quartucciu and Quartu Sant’Elena—a project was presented to improve the safety and accessibility of public transport stops along the SP95 Provincial Road. As part of this project, the Metropolitan City of Cagliari funded the construction of shelters and the redesign of the CTM bus stops along Via S’Ecca S’Arrideli. This will allow for safe parking and subsequent boarding and alighting in dedicated areas off the road, also equipped with shelters for safety while waiting for the bus. The final project was approved at the end of 2024, and the contract with the contractor was signed in 2025. Work will begin as soon as the expropriation procedures for the affected areas are completed. Each bus stop will be equipped with a dedicated shelter, composed of prefabricated structures primarily made of steel and tempered glass, secured to the ground with expansion bolts or tie rods. They will also feature a lateral noticeboard for advertising and a bench. LED night lighting will be integrated into the roofing panels and powered by a dedicated photovoltaic system, independent for each shelter, with a battery life of at least five days, even in permanently cloudy conditions. None of the roads affected by the project are equipped with public lighting. The pedestrian crossings introduced at bus stops will be equipped with a dedicated lighting system with LED floodlights powered by photovoltaic panels. The lighting will activate automatically at night and remain on continuously to ensure safety and make the crossing visible to both drivers and pedestrians. Regarding the photovoltaic kit, the battery and charge regulator are integrated into the photovoltaic module, thus eliminating the need for an external cabinet. The peak power is approximately 140 W. To ensure user safety, all areas affected by the project will be designated as new speed-limited zones called “Zone 30,” with specific horizontal and vertical signage indicating the new area and pedestrian crossings.

Driver Coaching: When Data Helps You Drive Better. The New Episode of Truckani Tech Is Online
You can continue to learn something new while driving even after millions of kilometers. How? Thanks to Driver Coaching, a practical tool for improving driving style, safety, and efficiency, starting with the analysis of real vehicle data.
In practice, the system collects information directly from the vehicle's electronic network and analyzes parameters such as acceleration, braking, fuel consumption, gear selected, and speed. The data is then sent to a cloud platform, where dedicated algorithms calculate behavior and efficiency scores. This allows the driver to receive real-time feedback on the on-board display (for example, in the event of excessively sudden acceleration) or periodic reports with personalized suggestions. This approach reduces fuel consumption, increases safety, and enhances the driver's professionalism.
Laura Broglio discusses this in the new episode of Truckani Tech, the UeT reel series that explains technology applied to transport and logistics, in collaboration with Geotab and with the scientific support of TTS Italia and the Freight Leaders Council.
