Telematic Technologies for Transport and Traffic in Turin

The Traffic Operation Centre, set up on behalf of the Toroc and the City of Turin, made it possible to observe and monitor traffic during winter Olympic Games in the city and in the Olympic valleys using dedicated sensors and TV cameras.
Citizens received the information managed by the TOC via VMS panels, radio broadcasts and text messaging (SMS) and benefited from integrated management of Olympic parking lots, public transport shuttle services and road control.
All this was made possible by the cooperation of the Traffic Police, the Municipal Police, the systems of the Motorway and ring-road concessionary companies, the Province of Turin and the Anas (the public body responsible for managing the national road network).

5T is a permanent laboratory open to national and European research projects intended to experiment the application of avant-garde telematic technologies and services.
The most recent include: IMAGINE-IT, IN SAFETY, CVIS.

Another major project, launched as part of the TorinoWireless initiative, is OPEN GATE where 5T participates together with Turin Polytechnic, the Istituto Mario Boella and the Fiat Research Center.
An initiative financed by the Ministry for Scientific Research and the University that addresses innovative applications for control of access to city center areas and the development of information services based on innovative software technologies.
