A STORY THAT HAS BEEN MOVING FOR 25 YEARS: SWARCO and TMB between technology, trust and buses

Twenty-five years, in the world of technology and public transport, are not simply an anniversary. They are proof of resilience, evolution and, above all, mutual trust. The collaboration between SWARCO and TMB (Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona) is one of those stories that are not born by chance and that, above all, do not last so long without solid foundations.
Today TMB manages one of the most important urban bus networks in Europe: approximately 1,100 vehicles, around 25% of which are electric, distributed across more than 110 lines that run through Barcelona like an always-active nervous system. Behind this complex and fascinating machine there is a technological heart that, for 25 years, has also been beating thanks to the SAE (Sistema di Ausilio all’Esercizio) supplied and evolved by SWARCO.
But how did it all begin? And above all: how does one come to celebrate a quarter of a century together?
Let us go back 25 years. The world was different, technology as well. At that time, speaking about real-time monitoring meant working with distances traveled, heuristic stop recognition logics and analogue radio. No widespread GPS, no advanced digital networks. And yet, even then, the objective was clear: to know where the buses were, manage the service more efficiently and improve the passenger experience.
The story with TMB began in a somewhat “classic” way: a public tender won by an Italian-Spanish consortium (Italtel–SICE), within which SWARCO entered as the supplier of the public transport software. The project included everything: control centre, onboard equipment and radio network for telecommunications.
Over time, however, the scenario changed. Italtel left the project, SICE gradually stepped back, until it no longer had an operational role. SWARCO, on the other hand, remained. And not only did it remain: it became the reference technological partner, responsible for support, maintenance and, above all, the continuous evolution of the system.
It was during this phase that the transition from tag-based localization to GPS took place, and from analogue radio to digital radio. A gradual process, built carefully, which led to the stabilization of the system and to the development of that reliability which, over time, would become one of the distinctive features of TMB’s SAE.
Meanwhile, TMB also grew. Barcelona changed, expanded, and reinvented itself. The bus network evolved and, with it, the service philosophy changed: moving from a radial network to an XY network, more similar to the logic of the metro, with interchange stops designed to make the system more flexible and efficient.
In this new scenario, the SAE ceased to be a simple monitoring tool and effectively became the core system of operations. It is the operational reference point that makes it possible to manage an increasingly extensive, complex and dynamic network. The system was literally “pushed” to the maximum of its capabilities in order to keep pace with TMB’s requirements. And it succeeded. Not because it is immutable, but precisely because it is flexible, scalable and designed to evolve over time.
At the same time, the onboard architecture evolved to accommodate new hardware and software equipment, often supplied by third parties, and the telecommunications system made a decisive technological leap with the transition to standard TETRA networks. This change ensured greater reliability, security and communication quality, and indispensable elements for a large-scale public transport service. The SAE grew together with the city. And like any good travelling companion, it learned to adapt to curves, unforeseen events and new destinations.
We thus arrive at the most modern phase, which we could define as that of digital maturity. The management of public transport services today can no longer be a collection of isolated systems. Integration, data sharing and an overall vision are required.
TMB is aware of this. It is within this context that the system entered a new phase of its evolution, becoming an integral part of TMB’s IT ecosystem. The information generated by the system is integrated with SAP, with planning systems, with operational management platforms and even with tools related to passenger communication and social media.
The SAE is no longer just a source of data, but an accessible, reliable information hub, perfectly integrated into TMB’s IT ecosystem. A system capable of interacting with the other company “main systems” and providing fundamental information for rapid and informed decision-making.
It has been exciting to describe the history that led SWARCO and TMB to this incredible collaboration, but behind every successful system there are always people. And this anniversary was also an opportunity to meet the present and the past of TMB.
In Barcelona, Carmine Ianzano and the SWARCO team met some of the protagonists of this story, such as:
Albert Fonseca, Antonio Fernández, Agustín López, Antonio Martínez, Diego Domínguez and Mayte Pavón.
A particularly symbolic moment was the meeting between Albert Fonseca, current Director of Technology at TMB, and Carmine Ianzano, responsible for the SWARCO system. Two “companions in battle” who, looking back, can say they have built something that has withstood time and change.

Alkemia Capital Partners entra in Circle

CIRCLE Group: new agreement worth over €380,000 for the digitalization of a leading intermodal logistics hub in Southern Italy
CIRCLE Group (“CIRCLE” or the “Company”) – an innovative SME listed on the Euronext Growth Milan market, head of the CIRCLE Group specializing in process analysis and the development of solutions for the innovation and digitalization of the port and intermodal logistics sectors, as well as international consulting on the Green Deal and energy transition, and TTS Italia ordinary member – announces that its subsidiary eXyond has signed an agreement with a leading interport operator in Southern Italy, managing one of the main logistics hubs in the region. The agreement covers the implementation of an integrated digital interoperability and gate automation project, in line with Measure M3C2 I 2.1 “Digitalization of the Logistics Chain” – Sub-investment 2.1.2 “Network of Ports and Freight Villages” of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. (PNRR), funded by the European Union – Next Generation EU.
The project aims to strengthen interoperability related to e-CMR and the operational efficiency of the logistics hub through, on the one hand, integration with the national eFTI Gate Italy / Extender ecosystem, and on the other, the implementation of a Gate Automation system to control and automate the terminal's road and rail gates. The project is being developed in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2020/1056 on electronic freight transport information (eFTI), effective August 21, 2024, and with Italy's accession last year to the Additional Protocol to the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR) concerning the electronic consignment note, which makes the e-CMR/e-DDT fully usable as a replacement from September 26, 2024.
Specifically, the digital component involves the creation of API connectors to ensure interoperability between the freight village information system, FVS – TOS, and the GOS, as well as the national eFTI Gate. This will allow the system to receive and verify e-CMR information associated with road transports with loading or delivery locations at the relevant logistics hub, transmit gate-in and gate-out notifications to the eFTI Gate, manage and verify vehicle access data between interoperable hubs, and share, for the rail and intermodal component, the information contained in loading lists and rail consignment notes in eFTI dataset format. Thanks to the connectors with the eFTI Gates of European Union countries, it will also be possible to digitally receive and share information relating to international transports, according to the "once-only" principle and in compliance with the required access rights.
In parallel, the project includes the implementation of an integrated Gate Automation system, a solution from eXyond, a Circle Group company, aimed at optimizing the entry and exit flows of heavy vehicles, improving safety, and reducing transit times. For the road gate, the plan includes reviewing the road layout and positioning of barriers, installing sensors and detection equipment such as lasers and cameras, marking lanes, upgrading signage, and dedicated software configurations for integration with existing management systems. For the railway gate, automation is similar, given the specific characteristics of the tracks, with the aim of ensuring greater train traceability, streamlining checks, and full integration with eFTI digital information flows.
The project will last approximately six months.
The total investment is over €380,000. The project is being developed in accordance with the specific principles and obligations of the PNRR, including compliance with the "Do No Significant Harm" (DNSH) principle and the digital tagging required for the reference measure.
"This new project represents a further step in strengthening our presence in projects dedicated to the digitalization of the supply chain," said Luca Abatello, CEO of Circle Group. "The integration of digital interoperability and gate automation allows us to concretely accelerate the transition to secure, traceable, and paperless management of physical and document flows, generating benefits for economic operators and competent authorities. This was and remains one of the main pillars of our Connect 4 Agile Growth strategy."
With this initiative, Circle Group consolidates its role as a technology partner for interoperability between logistics hubs, public platforms, and private operators, contributing to the digitalization of the Italian supply chain and the competitive strengthening of the interport system and national and European intermodal logistics hubs.

Interporto di Bologna accelerates digitalization. Movyon and Aitek win the tender for an advanced gate control system capable of handling up to 5,000 transits per day
Movyon, TTS Italia founding member, and Aitek have won the tender called by Interporto di Bologna SpA for technological renewal of the access gate management system of the logistics platform in Emilia, one of the main European intermodal hubs in terms of traffic volume and operational complexity.
The work involves both updating the current transit control system at the south access, and implementing a gate automation system to service the new north access. It is a strategic project that aims to increase efficiency, reliability and operational continuity where approximately 5,000 heavy vehicles transit per day, for a total of over 1,600,000 transits per year, and where 130 freight transport and logistics companies are hosted.
When fully operational, the system will handle a total of 15 entry and exit lanes:
⁃ south access: six lanes for heavy vehicles, one for exceptional transport, three for cars and one return lane;
⁃ north access: two lanes for buses and two for cars.
Movyon is responsible for overall project management and, with its experience in implementing highly reliable access control systems for complex logistics situations, will work on the infrastructure and technological equipment for the gates. Aitek will contribute with software applications for the Sesamo-Gate platform to support automation of gate-in and gate-out processes and digital management of exit authorizations.
A key element of the project is the high level of system integration: the solution is designed to dialog natively with the railway terminal and with the paid parking area at the freight terminal so that heavy vehicle exit authorizations can be managed centrally and consistently, depending on logistics operations and vehicle parking conditions.
The system for controlling exiting vehicles is also particularly innovative. It is based on dual identification methods: automatic license plate recognition and reading on-board electronic tolling devices. This combination ensures high operational robustness, even in critical environmental conditions or when license plates are difficult to read, reducing manual interventions and inconveniences for freight carriers, and making flows smoother in a traffic-intensive area.
The project is funded under the PNRR, Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan, (Measure M3C2 Investment 2.1 – Digitalization of the logistics chain – Sub-investment 2.1.2 “Port and terminal network”), confirming the strategic role of digitalization in making the national logistics system competitive.
With this initiative, Movyon and Aitek consolidate a collaboration aimed at developing and implementing advanced technological solutions for access control and digital transformation of logistics infrastructures, both in Italy and on international markets.

Stolen Vehicle Assistance: IVECO's solution against commercial vehicle theft
Across Europe, light commercial vehicles today present a significantly higher risk of theft than passenger cars, with a particularly significant impact in the rental sector. Vehicle theft has evolved over time, becoming more structured through the use of increasingly sophisticated techniques. Furthermore, stolen vehicles can be quickly re-entered into secondary markets for resale or parts recovery. For operators who use the Daily to keep their businesses running, theft is much more than a security issue: it can cause significant operational disruption. The Daily is a vital business asset, and losing even a single vehicle can compromise service continuity, generate financial losses, and jeopardize customer commitments. In response to this evolving scenario, IVECO, TTS Italia ordinary member, has introduced Stolen Vehicle Assistance, a solution integrated into the vehicle's factoryfit connectivity and fully integrated into the IVECO ON ecosystem, transforming basic vehicle tracking into a coordinated and structured recovery model. "With Stolen Vehicle Assistance, we help customers react quickly when a theft occurs and recover their vehicle as quickly as possible. By combining factory connectivity, AI-driven detection, and a 24/7 Security Center, we transform alerts into coordinated recovery actions that keep vehicles available and businesses running," said Alberto Buttiglieri, Product Manager for Safety and Security Services at IVECO. Stolen Vehicle Assistance supports rapid and effective recovery in the event of theft, helping reduce downtime and financial losses. The system is based on the standard connectivity of the entire IVECO range and integrates automated detection technologies based on artificial intelligence and geofencing, powered by Targa Telematics, a leading European player and global leader in AIoT and the development of digital solutions and platforms for connected mobility, and TTS Italia founding member. Virtual geographic boundaries can be defined, unusual movements can be detected, and, once theft is confirmed, recovery procedures are activated immediately. Through the IVECO ON portal and the Easy Daily app, customers maintain full visibility of their vehicles in daily operations, while benefiting from an additional level of professional support in critical situations. A key element of the service is the 24/7 Security Center, managed in collaboration with Targa Telematics which combines advanced telematics technologies and consolidated experience in stolen vehicle recovery services. Following a validated alarm, the Security Center immediately coordinates with the relevant authorities, manages vehicle tracking, and supports the recovery process in compliance with current regulations. The service is also supported by agentic AI assistants, capable of analyzing vehicle data and operational context, correlating events, and suggesting the most effective actions to operators. "By leveraging advanced data intelligence combined with years of operational experience in vehicle safety, we help fleets respond quickly and effectively to critical events," said Alberto Falcione, Vice President Sales Targa Telematics. Through close collaboration, we supported IVECO in developing a tailored solution to protect commercial vehicles and support fleet operators with both cutting-edge technology and dedicated managed services, ensuring business continuity and greater peace of mind. This end-to-end approach reduces response times, increases recovery rates—up to 90%—and helps limit the operational and insurance consequences of theft. In addition to vehicle recovery, the service provides structured assistance during a high-impact event, helping operators minimize disruptions and restore normal operations more quickly. Spain pioneered the service, which will now be rolled out across all European countries. Initial customer feedback highlights clear benefits in daily fleet management, particularly improved vehicle visibility during routine operations and additional protection in the event of theft. The result is peace of mind knowing that vehicles and operations are always protected. With Stolen Vehicle Assistance, IVECO reinforces its commitment to innovating connected services, offering customers not only efficient and sustainable vehicles, but also integrated digital solutions designed to protect their business and maximize fleet availability.

Targa Telematics supports Transport UK London Bus in managing service vehicles for driver journeys
Targa Telematics – a leading global player in the field of AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) in the development of digital solutions and platforms for connected mobility, and TTS Italia founding member– has announced a partnership with Transport UK London Bus, which operates bus services on behalf of Transport for London (TfL), to support the management of service vehicles used for driver shift changes between depots. The partnership involves the implementation of Targa Telematics' Car Sharing solution, which enables secure, keyless vehicle access for authorized drivers across a diverse fleet of 80 vehicles of various makes and models, distributed across four of the six depots managed by Transport UK London Bus. The deployment has been successfully completed on 68 vehicles, with the Twickenham and Beddington depots now fully operational. Installation at the Southall and Hayes depots is underway and is expected to be completed by the end of April 2026. By implementing Targa Telematics' Car Sharing solution, Transport UK London Bus will be able to ensure access to service vehicles through a fully digital system, eliminating the need to visit a desk or office to collect keys. By monitoring and limiting access to only authorized personnel, Targa Telematics' suite of services eliminates operational disruptions that can arise from lost or unreturned keys, increasing fleet utilization and reducing costs. Driver authentication occurs via individual RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) cards that are scanned on a dashboard-mounted reader, which deactivates the vehicle's immobilizer and automatically records the start of each driver's session. A formal logout process at the end of each journey ensures vehicle traceability and continued availability. Transport UK London Bus currently operates approximately 70 bus routes – including London's iconic red double-decker buses – representing 11% of the service, and manages a fleet of approximately 1,000 buses, 30% of which are zero-emission. "We are proud to partner with Transport UK London Bus to support the smooth running of one of the capital's most important public transport networks.

UnicoCampania launches the "Traveling for Legality" project, featuring customized travel passes and school meetings to promote civic awareness and respect for the rules.
"Traveling for Legality" is TTS Italia ordinary member UnicoCampania's new initiative to bring values, responsibility, and awareness into the daily travel of thousands of citizens.
The UnicoCampania Consortium has launched a new special series of tickets entirely dedicated to the theme of legality, transforming the customizable space on the tickets into a tool for daily reflection for thousands of citizens.
The initiative stems from the belief that language is one of the fundamental pillars for building a civil society. Words have the power to influence thought, guide actions, and actively combat the culture of illegality and crime.
To inaugurate this special edition, UnicoCampania has chosen three exceptional ambassadors, personalities committed to fighting crime, defending the vulnerable, and protecting the environment.
We begin with a powerful and timely quote from Dr. Nicola Gratteri, Public Prosecutor at the Court of Naples, taken from his book "Padrini e Padrini": "Mafias remain such even when they don't use violence."
A clear warning about the pervasive nature of criminal organizations, which aims to raise awareness of the need for constant vigilance, beyond the judicial news.
We then move on to a quote from Monsignor Mimmo Battaglia, Archbishop of Naples, which sends a message of hope, self-determination, and individual responsibility: "Strongly believe in change: don't outsource your conscience to anyone."
Finally, this first edition closes with a quote from the president of the Vesuvius National Park Authority, Attorney Raffaele De Luca, which is an invitation to change our perspective on the relationship between humanity and nature: "Listen to the rhythm of the volcano, respect Vesuvius."
The UnicoCampania travel pass boasts widespread circulation. It reaches across all age groups and social classes, finding its way into the pockets and hands of students, workers, and tourists. This transversal nature makes it an exceptional communication medium: a message of legality that physically travels across the country, reaching even those who aren't usually present in traditional forums of civil debate.
The "Traveling for Legality" project also continues, supporting the Carabinieri in meetings held in schools across Campania. In addition to raising awareness of the Consortium's activities and encouraging young people to respect the rules, copies of the book "Cuori Spenti" by journalist Raffaele Sardo (Guida Editori), which collects the stories of innocent victims of the Camorra, will be donated.
A book that speaks not only of death, but above all of choices, reinforcing the belief that legality is not a list of prohibitions, but an act of love towards one's community, and demonstrating that resistance to crime begins with small, everyday gestures and the rejection of indifference.
"We have always considered our media as a vehicle for promoting culture and social issues," emphasizes Gaetano Ratto, President of the UnicoCampania Consortium. "This year, we chose to focus on legality because we believe that educating through everyday language is the best way to strengthen social cohesion and respect for everyone's rights. And we chose to reach schools because they are the first place, after the family, where children experience community life, and it is there that the critical conscience of future citizens is formed."

Cybersecurity in Mobility: A New ITS Days at TTS Italia
On March 25, at its headquarters in Rome, TTS Italia organized the fifth "ITS Days" meeting, this time focusing on "Cybersecurity in Mobility."
Cybersecurity is now a critical component in ensuring security in the transportation sector, protecting not only user data but the entire interconnected infrastructure. A recent report confirmed a 48% increase in cyber attacks in the transportation sector over the past five years, highlighting growing system vulnerabilities.
The event, moderated by Secretary General Olga Landolfi, featured speakers from Roma Servizi per la Mobilità, 5T, Azienda Napoletana Mobilità (ANM), Mia-Platform, IBM Italia, Autostrada Pedemontana Lombarda, Concessioni Autostradali Venete (CAV), LEONARDO, Autostrade per L'Italia, and AXIS.
The meeting provided an opportunity to discuss security and threats to infrastructure, mobility services, smart roads, connected and autonomous mobility, and mobility data, among other topics.
We discussed why cybersecurity is a priority and the concrete, urgent steps needed for ITS operators. The risk surface has increased: more domains, more interconnections, more operational dependencies, and therefore an integrated approach is needed. This includes ongoing staff training, the need for ongoing spending, especially for local authorities, for SaaS, and a clear and updated regulatory framework. For the smart mobility sector, this means a new smart road decree and the upcoming definition of the National ITS Action Plan.
