Torino Smart Mobility: the results of our trial
The ToMove Living Lab project has been successfully completed, paving the way for the future of Smart Mobility in Turin.
From November 2025 to April 2026, Next G Cloud took an active part in the ToMove Living Lab, an initiative of the City of Turin to co-test smart, sustainable and inclusive solutions for urban mobility. Together with our partner Quandopasso, we created the project EDGE DATA 4 SAFETY (E4S). Our goal? To show how cutting-edge technology can concretely improve road safety, with particular attention to the most vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists, etc.), and optimise city traffic management.
At the heart of the innovation: Next G Cloud’s infrastructure
To make this complex information network work, we developed the “invisible engine” of the project. Next G Cloud designed and deployed an advanced Edge Cloud (MEC) node and an API Gateway. Our infrastructure acted as a true bridge: it let the City of Turin’s Digital Twin communicate in real time with the DriveBud app developed by our project partners and, ultimately, with users on the road. Thanks to this system, we were able to collect data in both directions. By processing information locally and very quickly, our technology enabled the data exchange that made predictive analysis possible, spotting imminent dangers or traffic anomalies and sending targeted, location-based alerts.
The testers’ experience
Technology is nothing without people. During the trial, 70 citizens tested the service while moving around Turin on foot, by public transport, by bike or by car. Through the DriveBud app (developed by our partner), testers received audio guidance in complete safety (hands-free mode), avoiding visual distractions. They could try first-hand the alerts for dangerous junctions and the reports of unusual traffic. The feedback we collected at the end of the project makes us proud:
Security and privacy first: Testers rated the care and reliability with which we handled the privacy of their shared data 4.7 out of 5.
Zero distractions: The effectiveness of voice-only information for getting around without looking at the screen scored 4.5 out of 5.
Real impact: Participants said they were extremely satisfied (4.7 out of 5) to have contributed to such a useful innovation for their city.
