About this good practice
RER decided to create a specific in-house company in order to support innovation policies and technologies. Over time, LEPIDA has also taken projects related to transport data management and development of innovative solutions to support mobility.
This is a GP in ICT use for facilitating the SUMP development because it provides reliable data on mobility that Municipalities, and local mobility agencies, would not be able to easily procure or collect themselves. Moreover, it provides services that are usually expensive and technical challenging to manage from a Municipality alone.
LEPIDA supports RER in the projects G.I.M and manages the project “Travel Planner”, which were created to:
• Allow centralized management of information related to public and private mobility;
• Allow Integration between data from public traffic and private traffic and foster info mobility;
• Analyse long term traffic flows in order to support long-term planning;
• Forecast of short-term traffic evolution and critical situation management
• Improvement of public transport service by sharing real-time data with citizens, administrations and mobility agencies.
RER is already able to access these data, nevertheless municipalities and mobility agencies will be able to do it thanks to Lepida SpA.
In Italy, LEPIDA is a unique example of an innovation ICT company belonging to the Region.
