Agenda








Overview on the ITS industry in Piemonte

The ICT industry in Piemonte is an ideal environmentto develop complex applications in the ITS sector

The ICT industry in Piemonte is an ideal environmentto develop complex applications in the ITS sector

Fiat, Iveco and Irisbus, historical car, truck and bus makers Experimentation of public local transport: Torino has been one

of the first cities to adopt a system for public transport

management and traffic control High level skills in software application development Several firms design and manufacture electronic devices Upcoming set up in Torino of the infrastructure for the Precise

Timing Facilities of Galileo satellite system


ITS industry and R&D in Piemonte: some figures

More than 150 bodies, including private enterprises and research centres operating on the Infomobility in Piemonte

Complex networks of relations characterize the value chain of the

Infomobility/ITS products and services

Direct knowledge of over 70 companies

Around 30 research projects on ITS topics are ongoing and involve at least 1 enterprise or 1 research center based in Piemonte, with different types of resources:

14 M€ regional/local resources National resources EU resources

More than 20 M€ invested on research projects for the next 2-3 years, directly involving enterprises or research centers located in the Piemonte Cluster


R&D Projects in Piemonte: highlights

Two main R&D projects currently in progress:

GAL-PMI is a 5,95 M€ project, 70% funded by Docup 3.4 measure. Its goal is to contribute to set up a center of excellence and high competence on technologies and services for the Galileo satellite system

Open Gate is a 4,8 M€ project plus 680.000 € for education, funded by MIUR, law 297. Its goal is to create the know how to realize and develop infomobility services, for the control of the traffic congestion and for the architecture, systems and structural ground and vehicle components


Agenda








Torino Wireless Infomobility Cluster

Torino Wireless launched the

“Infomobility Cluster” project, focused on

the Infomobility and the Intelligent

Transport Systems in Piemonte

Key issues Leader companies, covering all the different stages of a

complex and fragmented value chain Top-class R&D Centres Complex products and services, requiring skills coming from

different domains High market growth forecasts in the near future


Infomobility Cluster: goals and benefits

Set up co-operative models within the ICT District, creating an organizational network among companies operating in the same industrial sector

Goals Analyze the sector’s industry and market Facilitate the companies aggregation in collaborative projects

development and related products, whit a higher level of complexity Identify business opportunities for all the companies of the value

chain

Benefits Spread common development guidelines, favoring synergies

among companies’ products and services Benefit by a common policy for new technologies adoption Favor the dialogue between enterprises and institutions, aimed at

possibly directing the institutions and their decisions


Clustering methodology

More…


Background: Turin area and mobility

population of about 900.000 inhabitants

area of 132 square kilometres

1.495 km of roads

270 km of tram-lines

70 km of bicycle paths

over 559.000 matriculated vehicles in the city (about

1.400.000 in the Province of Turin)

300.000 vehicles present a low emission standard

(Euro 0, Euro 1 or Euro 2) and have to be considered

as “non-ecological” or “semi-ecological”


A long history: Turin and the ITS

The city of Turin boasts a long history in urban traffic management

80’s80’s

90’s90’s

00’s00’s

The first Italian Urban Traffic Control pilot and the first Italian Automatic Vehicle Monitoring (AVM) system were developed in Turin

The innovation process continued with the launch of the 5T project, still representing one of the most notable initiatives in the ITS on a national level

In July 2000 the municipality of Turin decided to create a company named 5T s.c.r.l., in charge of designing, developing, managing, maintaining and promoting the Turin integrated ITS system, its applications and further extensions
