An intelligent management of mobility processes and of relative information are nowadays key factors for the expansion, economic growth and service improvement of the society we live in. The implementation and management of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), of intelligent infrastructures and vehicles, of InfoMobility devices and systems, are the core of this important technology and services development area.

Thanks to its systematic participation in international research and partnership projects, Softeco Sismat has developed  remarkable experience in this strategic business sector. The carrying out of many pilot projects in various European cities has made it possible to develop, test and validate technological solutions and innovative patterns in the field, and to subsequently transform well-established prototypes and know-how into final products or basic platforms for application development.

Softeco Sismat is nowadays a point of reference in Italy as well as in Europe in the Transport Information Technology sector. Our offer includes products and integrated solutions for various key areas of this field:

• Planning and Management Systems for 'Flexible or Demand Responsive Public Transport Services' (Demand Responsive Transport, DRT). An innovative service pattern for public transport which, contrary to the traditional line service, the trips are not priorly influenced by timetables and routes to follow, in that they are determined in a fully dynamic way by the users' request.
  Managed through the PersonalBus® software system, this pattern is an excellent solution for low demand areas (rural and mountain districts) as well as for the creation of variable or complementary transport services or intended as links with traditional transport, or even for services specifically conceived for given groups of users (students, handicapped and elderly people).
  
  
  
  
• Terminals for in-vehicle applications as well as goods or special flexible transport. Driver support through graphic display and maps, Global Positional System (GPS), communication (via GSM or private radio network) with monitoring headquarters and service management.
  
  
• Platforms for integrated management of information and control strategies in traffic network supervision and control. Servers for integrated management of control strategies (Integrated Strategy Manager, ISM). Communication and information exchange with information management nodes (TIC, Traffic Information Center) through interfaces and standard protocols (DATEX). Supervision and intelligent monitoring for integrated control stations, adaptive multimedia information management (data, video images, etc.).
  
  
• Support platforms for mobility knowledge management. Acquisition, integration, tracing, analysis and elaboration of historical data on mobility. Support to development and management of added value services for mobility managers (analyses, planning, etc.) and road users.
  
  
• Multi-tier platforms for Internet information access and distribution. Internet servers for data and geographic information management and distribution in Intranet and Extranet applications. Information distribution through palmtops, PDA and mobile computing terminals. Access to remote information and services for business users (e.g. remote maintenance) and the public (e.g. parking or touristic information, etc.)
  
  
• Platforms for Urban Solid Waste Planning and Management: service and maintenance monitoring, publication of statistical data related to the service.
