Yunex Traffic announced the strategic partnership with Municipia SpA, a leading company within the Engineering Group, aimed at driving forward the digitalization and innovation of mobility and traffic management processes across Italian cities.

Through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the joint mission is clear: to support the digitalization of mobility and traffic management processes in Italian cities, with a focus on reducing CO2 emissions and enhancing the efficiency of urban traffic flows.

“In Italy, we are currently witnessing a profound wave of transformation that includes the development of smart cities, the concerted pursuit of sustainability goals, and the optimization of highway traffic and tunnel systems. As the technology player of the Mundys Group, we aim to push the boundaries of innovation and create integrated mobility ecosystems. By joining forces with Municipia, we are harnessing the power of platform-based, modular and intelligent solutions to help Italy reduce urban emissions, promote a more sustainable approach to mobility, and improve the mobility experience for end users,” says Gino Franco, Managing Director Yunex Traffic Italy.

Stefano De Capitani, CEO of Municipia, adds: “The digital ecosystem resulting from the integration of our solutions with those of our partner will generate new value, implementing an end-to-end model of management and new processes for mobility regulation, infrastructure programming, the use of urban spaces and management of services, enhancing collaboration between the public and private sectors, also with a view to Business Process Outsourcing”.

At the core of the collaboration lies the creation of an ecosystem of platforms, utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) to develop a “digital twin” of urban mobility systems. This innovative approach will enable us to deliver value-added services tailored to support local authorities in managing their urban traffic more effectively – and ultimately provide more convenient, greener and connected mobility services to the citizens of Italy.

The services provided will include

  • Proactively managing mobility demand and urban road traffic, which includes the dynamic regulation of traffic lights, prioritization of dedicated vehicles such as emergency vehicles or public transport, increasing safety for vulnerable road users such as cyclists, providing real-time information on variable electronic message signs or mobility applications
  • Providing flexible options for local public transport and shared mobility services, ensuring convenient and accessible transportation solutions for residents and visitors alike.
  • Optimizing the management of infrastructure and urban spaces, including planning road maintenance based on traffic impact forecasts, adjusting access and transit times in Restricted Traffic Zones, and offering information on parking services for both regular and cargo/unloading bays.
  • Implementing dynamic regulatory schemes and tariffs for access, transit, parking, and urban logistics activities, managing the processes associated with authorization and fine enforcement effectively.
