Geneva Tests an Inclusive Mobility Hub

In the European Union, one in four adults lives with a disability, according to Eurostat. These individuals often face barriers related to employment, education, and mobility—factors that contribute to higher risks of poverty and social exclusion. Globally, the World Health Organization estimates that 1.3 billion people live with a disability, making inclusion an urgent challenge for cities worldwide.
Geneva, sensitive to these issues, is preparing to become a testbed for urban transport that works for everyone through InclusiveSpaces, a European project bringing together 17 partners in six cities. The initiative aims to make public spaces and mobility hubs more accessible to people with disabilities and older adults, particularly to people who are blind.
At the center of Geneva’s involvement is the new Lancy mobility hub, an intermodal node connecting trains, trams, buses, and shared mobility services. Handling around 24,000 passengers per day, the hub will test several solutions proposed by project partners:

• A mobile app for people with accessibility needs, capable of accurately geolocating users and providing directional information.
• A SWARCO system based on geofencing, offering real-time travel information in accessible formats for people with visual or hearing impairments.
• Co-design sessions with citizens to ensure that new infrastructure truly responds to the needs of people with disabilities.

Toward Inclusive and Sustainable Cities
InclusiveSpaces promotes a “design-for-all” approach, standardizing and digitizing urban planning frameworks so that inclusivity and climate resilience advance together. Building on its strong public transport network and growing active mobility, Geneva positions itself as a leader in equitable urban innovation.
For project partners, the message is clear: a city cannot be sustainable if it is not inclusive.

Integrated System for the Analysis of Sustainable Urban Mobility: the SIAMUS Project with Pin Bike

Sustainable urban mobility is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. With increasing urbanisation and growing problems related to air pollution, traffic congestion and reduced quality of life in cities, it is becoming increasingly difficult to plan people-friendly cities. In response to these challenges, supported by studies and research in this field by the scientific community, administrations and companies are increasingly adopting policies aimed at promoting sustainable modes of transport, such as walking, cycling, using public transport or car sharing.

"Crossing Rome" is the campaign against distracted driving and crossings
"Crossing Rome" is the name of the road safety awareness campaign launched by Rome Capital, Rome Mobility Services, and the Citizens' Road Safety Council. The title evokes pedestrian crossings. The campaign's presentation location was also emblematic: the Gaetano De Sanctis High School. This choice was not coincidental, given that young people are often the protagonists of accidents, both as victims and as "perpetrators." These roles often have a common root: distraction. When crossing the street listening to music or looking at a smartphone; when driving while chatting or recording a video. The campaign aims to raise awareness of the importance of driving styles through highly effective and impactful videos, which will be broadcast on subway screens (on platforms and on trains) and on Rome Mobility Services' social media channels. Regarding the harm that can be caused while driving to vulnerable people such as children, the elderly, and those with reduced mobility. "Drinking or chatting, to name just two of the dangerous behaviors," said Mobility Councilor Eugenio Patanè, "significantly reduces attention spans. In some areas of Rome, we have decided to lower speeds, also to protect pedestrians. A collision at 30 km/h has much less impact than one at higher speeds." "This campaign," said Anna Donati, President of Rome Mobility Services, "is aimed at pedestrians as well as drivers. Safety is everyone's concern. When you're young, you have a sense of immortality, even on the road. With this initiative, we aim to raise awareness on this issue."

Geotab's new AI-powered dash cam reduces risky driving behaviors by up to 95% with in-cab voice alerts
Geotab Inc. and its affiliates ("Geotab"), a global leader in connected vehicle solutions and a full member of TTS Italia, announced the launch of the GO Focus Plus AI-powered dash cam and a new video intelligence platform. The dual-face dash cam is designed to address a critical industry need, offering proactive in-cab support that helps drivers self-correct risky driving behaviors. In a recent large-scale pilot, the voice coaching feature helped reduce the risk of failing to maintain a safe following distance by 90% and phone use while driving by 95%. This system turns every alert into an opportunity for improvement, with the goal of preventing accidents and generating a measurable impact on fleet safety culture. The transportation industry is going through a critical moment. In Italy, there was an increase in truck accident fatalities in 2024, with 146 deaths (a 30.4% increase compared to 2023), according to ACI-ISTAT data. A recent Geotab survey found that drivers themselves perceive an increase in road accidents, with 34% of Italian respondents saying they had considered leaving their job in the previous year. Commercial transport drivers face long hours, unpredictable conditions, stress and mental and physical well-being challenges, and sometimes even unfounded accusations following an accident. At the same time, fleet managers must contend with rising costs, the critical need to ensure the safety of their workforce, and the need to protect their company's reputation. These challenges have profound human and economic impacts, directly impacting driver well-being, business dynamism, and road safety.
“We believe a safe fleet is a well-supported fleet,” said Charlie Elliott, Senior Vice President, Marketing & Marketplace at Geotab. “Our new video intelligence platform and the GO Focus Plus AI dash cam represent a concrete investment in supporting drivers and their safety. By combining the power of video with Geotab's data intelligence, we offer drivers an on-board assistant that can help them promptly correct risks. This system allows fleet managers to go beyond reactive incident reviews, promoting a culture of safety that protects the most important asset: people.”

Key Features of Go Focus Plus

In-Vehicle Dash Cams: 5 Myths Debunked by Geotab
In an era where technology is key to revolutionizing fleet management, in-vehicle cameras are at the center of a heated debate that often pits innovation against regulatory compliance. Their potential to improve road safety, protect drivers, and reduce operating and insurance costs is measurable, yet misconceptions persist that slow their adoption.
To dispel common doubts and help companies and fleet managers navigate a complex regulatory landscape, Geotab Inc. and its affiliates (“Geotab”), a global leader in connected vehicle solutions and a regular member of TTS Italia, have identified five myths about dash cams that can generate confusion and uncertainty among corporate fleet managers.
"Installing on-board cameras in vehicles is often a source of concern for fleet managers, who can be daunted by stringent regulatory constraints. However, with the right culture and awareness, as well as the support and guidance of expert suppliers, apparent obstacles can be transformed into opportunities," explains Franco Viganò, AVP EMEA & Italy Country Manager at Geotab. "Dash cams are advanced tools that offer concrete benefits: with adequate levels of control and transparency, companies can leverage technology to protect their drivers and optimize fleet performance, contributing to safer and more sustainable mobility."

1. Dash cams are illegal in Italy
False. The installation of front-facing and dual-cameras to monitor driving behavior and vehicle-related incidents is not strictly prohibited, however, it is necessary to comply with current regulations regarding privacy, road safety, and worker protection.
It is essential that the use of dash cams complies with the Italian Personal Data Protection Code (DPC), which requires that video recording be performed in line with specific requirements regarding the collection and processing of personal data, including the principles of transparency, data minimization, specific purpose, and limited retention.
Furthermore, dash cams must be installed in compliance with the Highway Code: whether positioned on the windshield or dashboard, they must not obstruct the driver's view or freedom of movement in any way, so as not to compromise driving safety.

2. Dash cam images belong to the device manufacturer, who authorizes their use
False. The images recorded by cameras installed in vehicles are not the property of the device manufacturer or supplier. Instead, the data owner is the company that manages the fleet: dash cam suppliers, for their part, can act as data processors, that is, entities authorized to process the information on behalf of the owner, according to specific instructions. This means that the images belong to the company, which has the power (and responsibility) to retain, delete, or share them, in compliance with the law.
In this regard, it should be noted that the GDPR emphasizes the concept of "control" of data, rather than ownership. It is the data controller who determines the means and purposes for which the data is collected, and how it is used. For example, fleet managers can choose when and which images to save and which to delete, or decide which information to consider in light of their fleet management strategy.

3. Dash cam images cannot be shared with third parties
False. Images recorded by on-board cameras can be shared with third parties if there is a legitimate interest (and legal basis) to do so. For example, in the event of an accident, the video can be transmitted to the insurance company to support a compensation claim, or to the authorities if there is a court order.
When sharing images, it is good practice to anonymize them by obscuring or blurring sensitive parts such as faces, license plates, or details relating to other road users, including pedestrians or occupants of other vehicles.
Likewise, it is advisable to immediately delete images that have no specific purpose to avoid incurring compliance issues.

4. If the dash cam is turned off, there's no need to inform the driver
False. In line with the GDPR's transparency principle, the mere presence of a camera in the vehicle requires the driver to be informed, even if the device is turned off or not recording at the time, since the data subject must be made aware of the possibility of being filmed. Just like data controllers, drivers can assert legitimate rights and interests regarding their images, which must be taken into account in daily processes. Communication can occur in various ways: through privacy policies, contractual clauses, or visible stickers on the dashboard or windshield.

5. Dash cams are only useful for post-accident analysis
Modern dash cams don't just record what happens during an accident to reconstruct its dynamics: they are proactive safety tools.

Thanks to their integration with artificial intelligence and advanced driver assistance systems, they can detect risky behaviors in real time, such as distractions, signs of fatigue, or cell phone use while driving. This information is processed instantly to send alerts to the driver, allowing them to correct their behavior before a critical event occurs. Some models also include warnings of impending collisions or lane departures, actively contributing to accident prevention. Furthermore, the data collected can be used by fleet managers to initiate personalized training programs, rewarding good behavior and promoting a culture of safety. Dash cams, therefore, are not just post-accident tools, but intelligent technologies that act before, during, and after every trip.

Rome's 2025 Mobility Report Presented
On September 24, Rome's 2025 Mobility Report, now in its seventh edition, was presented. As it has done every year since 2019, it offers citizens, city users, experts, and the media a snapshot of the city, highlighting the effects of the mobility policies implemented by the City Council. This edition focuses on 2024, a year that confirms and amplifies the positive post-pandemic recovery trend for the third consecutive year, both for the city's socio-cultural and economic activities. This year's trend is characterized by an increased rate of mobility among Roman residents (despite the significant share of workers in hybrid employment), combined with a steady increase in tourist flows, 55% of which are foreign citizens, confirming its vocation as a primary attraction for international tourism.
A city now approaching pre-pandemic mobility and traffic levels: the rate of car motorization is growing, but so is the renewal of the vehicle fleet, with Euro 6 cars now representing more than 45% of the fleet and Euro 5 motorcycles increasing by 49%. The overall balance of local public transport production is positive, despite the numerous maintenance interventions on vehicles and networks carried out in 2024. Sales of Metrebus travel tickets continue to grow, while the percentage of low-emission vehicles (electric, hybrid, and methane) for buses and trams has increased to 39%, particularly in the fleets of the new operators of the two peripheral and ultra-peripheral transport lots. The expansionary push in the sustainable mobility sector continues, supported by the Capitoline Administration's decisions to reorganize and regulate the sharing mobility sector - cars, bikes, and scooters - and by the activation of incentives for use (Metrebus agreement), which have pushed total rentals to 13.6 million in 2020. 2024, with a prevalence of use on weekdays over holidays. In terms of road safety, the first turnaround in years is encouraging: in 2024, ISTAT reported a 13% drop in the number of road accident deaths in Rome. This initial tentative sign speaks volumes about the interventions implemented, both for the progressive safety of black points along the road network, the work carried out at participatory meetings with citizens' associations, and the road safety information and training campaigns that Rome Capitale has promoted in recent years.
However, unfortunately, Rome still ranks first in the national rankings for fatality rates and fourth for injuries.
For this reason, Rome Capital is implementing numerous actions to increase roadsafety: increasing the number of speed cameras for speed control, detecting red lights at traffic lights, improving safety at black points, increasing the number of illuminated pedestrian crossings, education and information campaigns on respecting the rules, and new 30 km/h zones and 30 km/h roads are coming soon. The Report also offers, for the first time, a key to understanding residents' mobility choices based on gender, revealing interesting differences between male and female mobility, with men more inclined to use their private car as a driver, while women show a more complex and varied modal choice, decidedly more oriented towards sustainability.
This focus represents a new development for the 2024 edition and aims to provide a more refined analysis of Romans' modal choices, enabling future socio-demographic and behavioral insights, always with a gender perspective, to guide mobility decisions and policies. Finally, in 2024, attention will also be focused on the 2025 Jubilee, with the aim of ensuring the best possible use of urban spaces for both residents and the many expected guests. The Capitoline Administration has continued on this path, committing to working for integrated and sustainable mobility, increased road safety, environmental protection, and the redevelopment of urban spaces, with the constant aim of bringing Rome closer to the high European standards we are called to meet.

The third ITS Days meeting at TTS Italia!
On September 24th, TTS Italia organized the third ITS Days meeting at its headquarters in Rome! This event offers a chance to exchange experiences, knowledge, and engage with supply and demand, each meeting exploring a specific topic related to intelligent mobility. This time, the focus was on "Artificial Intelligence for the Management of Urban Mobility." Created with the aim of fostering dialogue and engagement between supply and demand, the ITS Days offer an in-depth look at the topics of greatest interest to the sector. Artificial Intelligence now has multiple applications and is becoming an essential tool in transport and mobility management, offering solutions to optimize traffic, improve safety, and simultaneously promote environmental sustainability. Numerous speakers participated: 5T – Davide Gastaldi; Selea – Simone Zani; OpenMove – Guido Amato and Andrea Iossa; Axis – Andrea Sorri; SWARCO – Alberto Bellini; Trafficlab – Francesco Grasso; IBM – Fulvio D’Aloia Cascone and Eleonora Zoppi; Almaviva – Leonora Buzio and Antonio Pipelnino; Yunex Traffic – Manuel Manzoni. Many points of discussion and reflection emerged, starting with concrete use cases, sparking a lively and constructive debate. AI certainly represents a strategic lever for addressing the new challenges of urban mobility and will influence innovations in the sector, starting with CCAM, by enabling interaction between roads, their equipment, and vehicles; as well as logistics, with the possibility of integrating them into concepts such as the 15-minute city. However, we must be careful about the social impacts of AI, and ethics committees could be useful, if not essential, in this regard. It is also important to avoid the mistake of generating too much data.

TTS Italia at the Chamber of Deputies for a discussion on mobility and transportation
TTS Italia Secretary General, Olga Landolfi, was among the speakers at the event "MOBILITY AND TRANSPORT: A CHALLENGE FOR THE ECONOMY, HEALTH, AND NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT," held at the Chamber of Deputies on September 23. Transportation represents an important means of economic and social development for every nation, and Italy intends to address the major challenges it poses with strategic vision and foresight, ensuring that citizens and goods can travel with an efficient mobility system capable of fully leveraging the internal market and the opportunities offered by globalized trade. Various modes of transport must meet an ever-growing demand, which is driving increased passenger and freight traffic, especially road transport, as it complements all other modes—rail, air, or sea—creating congestion and resulting negative impacts on the environment, safety, and quality of life (wasted time, pollution, health, etc.). This Working Group, promoted by the Vice President of the Chamber of Deputies, the Hon. Fabio Rampelli, and chaired by Fabrizio Ghera, Councilor for Mobility, Transport, Land Protection, Waste Management, State Property and Heritage of the Lazio Region, aimed to initiate opportunities for open and participatory discussion and listening with technicians and operators from various sectors, universities, network managers, service users, logistics experts, associations with specific expertise, the third sector, etc. The aim was to gather input, incorporate requests, ideas, and innovative operational or optimization proposals for mobility and transportation in our region, to be made available to the national and regional governments, as appropriate, in light of consolidated needs in this area and the new landscape in which technologies will play an important but not exhaustive role and, to fully realize their potential, will require robust management models and a new culture, shared by all. The Secretary General of TTS Italia specifically participated in the session dedicated to "New Frontiers of Mobility," an opportunity to discuss connected and autonomous mobility; MaaS; integration of Artificial Intelligence; as well as the challenges associated with these same frontiers, often linked to regulation, integration of different operators, and public/private collaboration: multiple and complex, these challenges involve technological, social, environmental, and economic aspects. Olga Landolfi then shared TTS Italia's concrete proposals, starting with the implementation of the ITS Directive, the availability of open data, and the transition from experimentation to implementation.

TTS Italia at the "MOBILITY & SMART CITY FORUM 2025"
On September 16, in Rome, TTS Italia Secretary General Olga Landolfi participated in the "MOBILITY & SMART CITY FORUM 2025," the fourth edition of the Sustainability Forum, which builds on its legacy and relaunches its positioning with a new thematic and cultural focus.
The meeting was entirely dedicated to the theme of Urban Co-Intelligence: an open discussion between institutions, businesses, mobility operators, and technology players to rethink urban infrastructure and governance models from a sustainable, intelligent, and collaborative perspective.
Olga Landolfi, in particular, participated in the Talk Show | Intelligent Infrastructures and Mobility, which focused on "INTELLIGENT CONNECTIONS FOR CITIES AND TERRITORIES IN MOTION", highlighting the role and initiatives promoted by TTS Italia for the evolution of urban infrastructure into integrated ecosystems. These include, first and foremost, support for central and local institutions in defining policies on smart mobility and the digitalization of the sector; the barriers to the deployment of mobility services such as MaaS, highlighting the need to move from experimentation to implementation; and the role of technology, which must be a neutral tool to support mobility policies, paying attention to the economic and social impact.

If Logistics Worked Like Netflix. The New Episode of Truckani Tech
You only pay for what you use, when you need it. This is the idea behind Logistics as a Service, a model that brings an "on-demand" approach to the supply chain. It's discussed in the new episode of Truckani Tech, produced by Uomini e Trasporti in collaboration with Geotab, a full member of TTS Italia, and Medmove, with the scientific contribution of TTS Italia and the Freight Leaders Council. Have you ever heard of Netflix? A subscription, hundreds of movies, and you only pay for what you watch, when you want. Without owning anything. Now, imagine if logistics worked the same way. This is what happens with Logistics as a Service (LaaS), a model that allows companies to no longer have to manage everything themselves, but instead take advantage of an on-demand logistics service. Shipping, warehousing, data tracking, returns management: everything is available "on a pay-as-you-go" basis, without the need for significant capital investments in infrastructure and technology. An opportunity that makes advanced solutions accessible to even the smallest companies. Thanks to cloud platforms and specialized providers, logistics becomes a dynamic and connected service. A shift in perspective that affects the entire supply chain: from ownership to sharing, from infrastructure to data, from immobility to on-demand.

The CHORUS project to improve urban mobility and traffic management in Europe is underway
The CHORUS project officially launched in Athens in July 2025, bringing together a consortium of 36 organizations from across Europe to transform the Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM) ecosystem. CHORUS was launched within the CCAM partnership and co-funded by the European Executive Agency for Climate, Infrastructure and Environment (CINEA).
CHORUS addresses the growing challenges of urbanization, traffic congestion, and road safety by creating a unified, multi-actor platform that enables seamless coordination between different transport modes and stakeholders. The project is coordinated by the Institute of Communication and Information Systems (ICCS) of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), and includes TTS Italia among its partners.
TTS Italia will be primarily involved in the validation and expansion of the CCAM ecosystem post-implementation; impact assessment; training; and capacity building.
Over 42 months, CHORUS will focus on integrating autonomous vehicles, public transport, and freight logistics into a cohesive system driven by artificial intelligence and real-time data sharing. The project aims to improve traffic efficiency, increase safety for all road users, and reduce environmental impact, contributing to the achievement of Europe's climate and sustainability goals.
To validate its innovative solutions, CHORUS will conduct demonstrations at seven different locations, each exploring specific mobility challenges and testing cutting-edge technologies such as autonomous shuttles, delivery robots, AI-based traffic management, and dynamic multimodal transport integration.

The UPPER project's "Replication Programme" has been launched
UPPER is an EU-funded project that aims to strengthen the role of public transport as a pillar of sustainable mobility and innovation in cities, including TTS Italia among its partners. The 10 UPPER Living Labs (Valencia, Rome, Versailles Grand Parc – Île de France, Oslo, Mannheim, Lisbon, Leuven, Budapest, Thessaloniki, and the Hannover region) are implementing nearly 80 measures on the ground to encourage citizens to limit their use of private cars and encourage them to use public transport.
It's time for the UPPER Living Labs to share their experience implementing innovation in public transport with the wider European mobility community!
UPPER is therefore seeking cities to join its Replication Programme and become one of the 10 Take-up cities committed to taking their public transport systems to the next level, learning from the project's results and the implementation experience of the UPPER Living Labs.
Each Take-up city will choose up to three thematic areas to pursue within the Programme. A series of online activities related to each thematic area will be carried out: webinars, workshops, and one-on-one exchanges with the UPPER Living Labs. During these activities, the UPPER Living Labs will share their experiences and lessons learned and support the Take-up cities in creating their replication roadmaps. At the end of the Programme, the Take-up cities will be invited to participate in the next UPPER General Assembly in Mannheim and a series of knowledge-sharing activities.
