TTS Italia brings together the community of experts and stakeholders at a conference
"AI and cybersecurity: here are our recommendations for a resilient and secure mobility ecosystem"


 

It has quickly become one of the most debated and analyzed topics at conferences organized by academic institutions, business associations, and trade fairs to discuss the innovations impacting our societies: the use of Artificial Intelligence, digitalization, and consequently, cybersecurity have forcefully entered our daily discussions.
TTS Italia, the Italian Association of Telematics for Transport and Safety, which represents the Italian Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) sector and brings together the sector's key public and private stakeholders, decided months ago to establish a Working Group with the aim of analyzing the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in modern mobility and its intersection with cybersecurity. It also drafted a Position Paper to propose useful recommendations for ensuring that mobility networks develop safely, contributing to the country's sustainable growth.
The conclusions of the work begun at the beginning of the year were presented and discussed at the Association's annual conference, held on June 17 at Palazzo Rospigliosi in Rome, entitled "AI and Cybersecurity for the Mobility of People and Goods," under the patronage of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, the Department for Digital Transformation, and the National Cybersecurity Agency.
Opening with greetings from TTS Italia President Rossella Panero, Rome City Councilor for Mobility Eugenio Patanè, and the President of the Parliamentary Intergroup on Cybersecurity and Technology, Honorable Alessandro Colucci, the event was attended throughout the day by a large audience of industry experts and businesses. "The more connected the city and mobility networks become," emphasized Councilor Patanè, "the more they are exposed to the risk of cyber attacks. To defend themselves, the City of Rome has established a cybersecurity department and a dedicated operations center. It's a battle that must be won every day: cybersecurity is a prerequisite for citizen trust." For his part, Honorable Colucci emphasized the need to maintain the centrality of humans in AI development and to encourage collaboration between public institutions, agencies, and private companies.
Fabio Nussio, coordinator of the TTS Italia Working Group, then outlined the contents of the Position Paper. The profound interconnection between ITS and AI promises unprecedented efficiency, security, and sustainability, but at the same time, exposes the entire ecosystem to exponential cyber risks: "An integrated and proactive approach, guided by a European regulatory framework, is essential, which transforms vulnerabilities into resilience and ensures trust in the future of mobility," Nussio insisted. "The next major technological transition in Europe and Italy will see data, algorithms, and digital infrastructures combine to make every journey safer, cleaner, and more inclusive."
After recalling that the latest industry reports indicate a systemic emergency, with a 48.7% increase in attacks in 2025 compared to the previous year, Nussio confirmed that the economic value of connected mobility is directly proportional to its vulnerability, which requires dynamic and scalable protection. "Traditional cybersecurity is no longer sufficient," the final report also states. "We need an integrated AI + Cybersecurity approach, based on robust AI models, defense against adversarial attacks, protection of sensitive training data, zero-trust architectures based on the principle of 'never trust, always verify,' AI-enhanced SOCs, regulatory compliance (UN R155, ISO 21434, AI Act, NIS2), and adoption of the 'Compliance by Design' paradigm. The convergence of ITS, AI, and cybersecurity represents one of the key enabling factors for future mobility, ensuring reliability, service continuity, and user protection."
Bearing in mind that the transportation sector has become the fifth most attacked globally, Fabio Nussio concluded his presentation with the Association's strategic recommendations for a resilient mobility ecosystem: 1) Adopt integrated architectural governance for ITS, AI, and cybersecurity; 2) Integrate the principles of Security by Design and Zero Trust throughout the entire lifecycle; 3) Promote the integration of AI and cybersecurity as an enabler of resilience; 4) Strengthen data governance, interoperability, and the use of open standards, supported by an interoperable national Mobility Data Platform; 5) Promote the development of sector-specific and trustworthy AI for mobility with the "trustworthy AI" label; 6) Integrated logistics ecosystem; 7) Digital ecosystem for multimodal and intermodal transport; 8) Develop connected and autonomous mobility with regulatory compliance; 9) Invest in skills, collaboration, controlled testing environments, and multi-gender and multidisciplinary teams; 10) Integrate ethics-by-design into new critical AI systems in the transportation sector; 11) Ensure meaningful human oversight and clear accountability; 12) Reform the Approval Process; 13) Establish AI-Powered SOCs with Zero Trust and Cyber ​​Threat Intelligence; 14) Widespread cybersecurity culture in ITS systems, government agencies, and businesses; 15) Financial incentives to avoid structural delays for businesses and public administrations.
These recommendations found broad consensus among the panelists at the roundtables that enlivened the day. Beginning with the morning panel on personal mobility, moderated by Olga Landolfi, Secretary General of TTS Italia, which included Emanuele Proia (Asstra), Piergianni Marana (Axis), Luigi Giacalone (Swarco Italia), Emanuela Stocchi (Aiscat), Giuseppe Olivero, and Nadia Fiorito (Vifram). In their presentations, Proia and Stocchi explained the dangers of cyberattacks, now directly driven by AI, exposing local public transport and highways and their users, and the measures adopted to prevent them. Marana, Giacalone, Olivero, and Fiorito illustrated the technological solutions already available to defend against them.
The afternoon session focused on freight mobility, with the participation of Clara Ricozzi, President of OITAF, Andrea Arquilla of Anita, Giuseppe Parlati of Almaviva, Paolo Guidi, President of Assologistica, and Antonella Querci of the Northern Tyrrhenian Sea Port Authority (Livorno). The speakers discussed cybersecurity with respect to, in order, the transport of temperature-controlled food and goods, road haulage, the construction of AI architectures, the creation of resilient ecosystems (competitiveness factors), and the port as a cognitive platform.
The day concluded with a roundtable discussion featuring institutional discussions. President Salvatore Deidda brought greetings from the Chamber of Deputies' Transport Committee, while Lorenzo Basso, Vice President of the Senate's Committee VIII (Environment, Ecological Transition, Energy, Public Works, Communications, Technological Innovation), presented the results of the unanimously approved fact-finding inquiry conducted by the Committee on "Digital Technologies and AI for Italian Infrastructure."
Michelangelo Chinni, Head of Digitalization at RAM, summarized the role of the MIT's operational arm in managing the LogIn Business call for proposals, which funded the digitalization of logistics companies and interventions for ports and freight terminals. Francesco Baldoni, Director General for Digitalization, Information Systems and Statistics at MIT, focused on the issues of digital sovereignty, smart roads—the Naples ring road is the first to be recently recognized—privacy protection, and data governance. Michele Onorato of the Italian Association for Information Security (CLUSIT) also insisted on the same issues.
Particularly appreciated was the contribution of Nunzia Ciardi, Deputy Director General of the National Cybersecurity Agency and former Director of the Postal Police Service, in her work to combat cybercrime, cyberterrorism, and the protection of critical infrastructure. "The future of the country is at stake," she said, "whoever possesses it dominates the market. AI must be guided, the right questions must be asked, otherwise the answers will be wrong; in jargon, we call them 'hallucinations.' Even before the defenses offered by cybersecurity, the use of AI must be regulated." Ciardi also emphasized the lack of professional profiles and skills to manage future complexities: "We don't just need technological and scientific knowledge," she concluded, "we also need what the English call 'humanities,' philosophy, and social sciences."

The conference concluded with greetings and thanks from TTS Italia President Rossella Panero, who recalled that the Ministry had tasked the Association with coordinating the stakeholders' work to compile the ITS Action Plan, which follows the implementation of the European directive.

THREE QUESTIONS TO...
Alexio Picco – Managing Director, Circle Group

What motivated Circle Group to invest in Infoblu and its technology partner QMap?
Circle considers the integration of mobility data and geolocation platforms to be a strategic asset for improving the overall efficiency of the logistics chain. Ports and intermodal hubs are no longer isolated nodes: their performance depends on the quality of information regarding the road traffic flows that feed and connect them. The ability to collect and analyze real-time traffic data and vehicle movements makes it possible to optimize transport planning, reduce waiting times at gates, and improve the operational management of infrastructure.
Within this framework, Infoblu NewGEN brings a well-established FCD network with decades of history, together with the Infoblu brand, which is widely recognized within the industry. QMap contributes advanced technological expertise in geolocation platforms and positioning data processing. Together, the two companies form a complementary technology hub whose integration into Circle Group creates an ecosystem where mobility data, geolocation technologies, and logistics platforms communicate seamlessly. This improves freight flow predictability and enables faster decision-making throughout the supply chain, supporting the development of smarter, more connected, and more efficient transport systems.

How are Floating Truck Data transforming logistics management and freight traffic flows?
More than generic FCD, innovation in logistics today is being driven by Floating Truck Data: positioning sensors installed on commercial vehicles that generate a continuous stream of information about the location, speed, and travel behavior of heavy vehicles. These data are at the core of Traffic Edge, the analytics module of Infoblu NewGEN.
The added value lies in the integration of positioning data with freight-related information. Traffic Edge can generate freight traffic Origin/Destination matrices with a level of granularity that traditional road traffic data alone cannot provide. This opens up practical opportunities for port and intermodal logistics: knowing in advance the expected volumes of heavy traffic on a specific corridor, or identifying peaks in activity at a gate, makes it possible to intervene before congestion and inefficiencies arise.
Alongside real-time applications, the use of historical data enables increasingly accurate demand models to be developed, supporting the strategic planning of logistics operators. The combination of historical analytics and real-time monitoring results in a level of freight flow predictability that is the true enabler of a more responsive and resilient supply chain.

What future scenarios are emerging for logistics and port systems thanks to the advanced use of mobility data, geolocation, and artificial intelligence?
The evolution of mobility data is redefining how transportation is analyzed, planned, and managed. The first major change concerns the shift from reactive to predictive management: ports and logistics hubs will be able to anticipate congestion, optimize gate access slots, and improve the scheduling of loading and unloading operations, reducing waiting times, operational costs, and environmental impact.
The second area poised for significant improvement is system integration: connecting land transport with port infrastructure and customs management systems to create a unified and coordinated view of freight flows. This promotes interoperability among operators and collaboration across the entire value chain, supporting an increasingly connected and transparent logistics ecosystem.
Finally, artificial intelligence applied to mobility analytics will transform platforms from descriptive tools into systems capable of recommending and automating operational decisions, while leaving the most complex cases to human intervention. In this context, mobility data and geolocation become central elements in building a more resilient, efficient, and sustainable logistics sector.
With Infoblu NewGEN, eXyond positions itself precisely within this scenario: as a technology enabler for a new generation of mobility services for both goods and people.

"Collaborative logistics to respond to cyber threats, but the sector is still wary." An interview with TTS Italia on Uomini e Trasporti
A shift in governance with an effort in terms of sharing, management, and control. This is the mix of skills required by companies involved in freight transport and logistics to address the challenges of AI and digitalization, but also to address cyber threats. In an interview with Uomini e Trasporti, Fabio Nussio, Senior Expert and Coordinator of the "AI & Cybersecurity for the Mobility of People and Goods" Working Group at TTS Italia, discusses this issue. Nussio prepared the Position Paper presented on June 17 in Rome, during the conference of the same name organized by the Association. AI in transportation, and particularly in logistics, is proving to be a double-edged sword, whose benefits are offset by the cybersecurity risks it poses. According to Nussio, "therefore, a Security Operations Centre (SOC) is essential for operations, where data is managed with open but secure standards." However, this must be preceded by "a climate of mutual trust between the various players," which is still difficult today and the source of many bottlenecks (and hidden costs) in the sector. The interview is an opportunity to highlight the Position Paper's 15 recommendations, the most important ones for freight transport, the critical issues, and how to overcome them.
