The Italian City of Turin has launched a new call for testing of the ToMove project, funded by the Department for Digital Transformation of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers under the National Plan Complementary to the PNRR (PNC-A.1-N1, Measure 1.4.6 - MAAS4ITALY).
With the ToMove project, the City of Turin and its strategic partners in the area want to imagine and test technologies and new service scenarios that can make Turin an area where getting around becomes increasingly efficient, sustainable, safe and flexible. To do this, the doors will be opened to co-experimentation with the territory's mobility operators, the world of research and business.
The members of the ToMove Promoting Committee include: City of Turin, Politecnico di Torino, University of Turin, LINKS Foundation, 5T Turin, Fondazione Piemonte Innova.
The call for testing
The City intends to select individual companies or partnerships willing to develop and test innovative urban mobility pilot projects under real-world conditions based on Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM) technologies.
The call will provide financial support to companies that want to test their technologies, services and solutions in the following areas:
- advanced data acquisition, processing or exploitation technologies for Mobility Servitization or possible integration with ToMove's Digital Twin;
- advanced solutions and services for ITS Cooperatives;
- robotic and other emerging technologies to support Last Mile logistics.
The proposed solutions should share the objectives of the ToMove project:
- improvement of the safety and inclusiveness of urban mobility;

- traffic decongestion and optimization of mobility flows.
