The Meridian Project, started in 2022 and still ongoing, aims to bridge the gap between physical infrastructure and digital ecosystems by creating a seamless Digital Layer alongside the A22 highway (also known as Autostrada del Brennero/Brennerautobahn), integrating real-time and historical mobility data. By using open data provided by third parties, among which and in particular OpenDataHub, this project fosters the development of innovative mobility services beyond traditional traffic management.
Aligned with the European vision of horizontal data layers, the project prioritizes API-driven integration with existing platforms instead of standalone applications, maximizing user reach and impact. Strategically, it anticipates the future of mobility, where digital tools mediate transportation decisions, from real-time traffic updates to intermodal journey planning.
The A22 Digital Layer transforms mobility data into a valuable asset, supporting future services like autonomous shuttles and dynamic route optimization. At its core, the project develops a multimodal digital infrastructure that aggregates and standardizes data from multiple sources while ensuring compliance with EU standards (TRANSMODEL, NeTEx and SIRI) and providing advanced validation, security, and management tools. It also includes a multimodal trip planner, capable of processing diverse datasets such as DATEX II, GTFS/NeTEx, GTFS-RT/SIRI and private mobility services. In the near future, the journey planner will also optimize routes based on factors like traffic conditions, emissions, cost, weather and intermodality. Moreover, to ensure controlled access and usability, the project also includes the development of a web dashboard allowing real-time monitoring, third-party integration, and potential monetization models for premium services.
By empowering external digital players and leveraging its mobility data assets, this project not only enhances traffic management but also positions itself as a key enabler of smart mobility, shaping the future of connected transportation.
As a data consumer of the Open Data Hub, the Meridian project demonstrates how a data consumer can leverage open data to enhance mobility services. In particular, this project integrates diverse datasets related to mobility, tourism, and environmental factors to create a digital layer of A22 infrastructures and services.
By ingesting and processing open data, such as real-time traffic conditions, e-charging stations, public transportation schedules, and multimodal mobility services, the project enables advanced route optimisation, predictive analytics, and intermodal journey planning. This approach not only improves the user experience for travelers but also supports strategic decision-making in traffic management and sustainability efforts. Furthermore, by enriching internal data with external open datasets, A22 enhances its ability to provide data-driven insights that contribute to the broader digital mobility ecosystem. This integration showcases a practical example of how open data consumption can drive innovation in smart mobility, enabling a more connected, efficient, and sustainable transportation network.
I am a Project Manager with an excellent knowledge of the principles of project management in all its phases. I have skills in European Project Management (writing projects' proposals, consortium coordination, funding reporting). I know and I am able to work with traditional, agile and hybrid project management methodologies.
I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Economics & Management, a Master's Degree in Economics and Finance, another Master's Degree in Economics & Finance and an Executive Master in International Relationships and Made in Italy. Currently, I am attending a Master's Degree in Behavioral Economics and Neuromarketing.
Since 2023, I have been working as a Project Manager at OpenMove, where I am responsible for overseeing and managing innovative projects in the field of smart mobility. My role involves coordinating teams, ensuring project milestones are met, and contributing to the development of cutting-edge mobility solutions that enhance efficiency and sustainability.
