Telematic Technologies for Transport and Traffic in Turin

The 5T project was launched in 1992 in order to:

• help citizens move round the city more quickly.
• encourage use of public transport.
• reduce pollution.

The exceptional results of this pilot project, verified by International Organizations, have demonstrated the effective contribution of integrated telematic systems to improve mobility.
Therefore, in 2000, Turin City Council and Gruppo Torinese Trasporti (GTT ) decided to put telematic technology at the service of citizens.
To do this, the 5T consortium was transformed into an S.c.r.l. (Limited Liability Consortium Company) to follow up the management, integration and development of telematic technology in order to improve traffic and public transport.

Over the years, 5T has expanded from a simple project into a real operating system that provides citizens, GTT and the city with top class services and capabilities.
The system integrates various functions:

• Mobility supervisor
• Traffic and access control
• Public transport
• Information for citizens
• VMS panels
• Information regarding car-parks
• Monitoring of pollution
• Road safety
• Videosurveillance of public transport
