TRIPS – Transport Intelligence for Safe Mobility

The consortium led by Reply S.P.A. in partnership with Novareckon S.r.l. has been selected among the winners of the “Intelligent Transport” call for proposals promoted by the European Space Agency, in collaboration with the Ministry for technological innovation and digitization, and the support of the Italian Space Agency, by co-financing pilot projects to support the development of new, space-based services related to intelligent transport.

The TRIPS project aims at offering to municipal police forces, city infrastructure management, info mobility providers and insurance companies an effective tool to support the prevention of road accidents and road safety maintenance, through:

  • Forecasting of the city areas with the greatest risk of accidents;
  • Road infrastructural assessment & Roadway design;
  • Safe route planning;
  • Emergency vehicle allocation;
  • Smart signalling allocation (e.g. in accident-liable areas);
  • Real-time accident assessment & alerting through drone-sentinels equipped with 5G communication technologies.

The City of Turin (EU funds and Innovation Department), in strict cooperation with Municipal Police (Technological Investigations Department), will provide the following contribution to the project:

  • Finalisation of User Requirements;
  • Access data from dashcams on board of Municipality Police car fleet for road pavement monitoring through;
  • Access to the registry of road accidents in the Municipality (historical data of 5+ years);
  • Provide drones and support the pilot through the Drone Unit;
  • Provide the testing area, the “Smart Road Track” in Turin, dedicated to experiment of autonomous driving and connected vehicles in an urban context (https://www.torinocitylab.it/en/experiment-to/smart-road-track).

Project duration: January 2023 – July 2024.
