Scenari On Board Unit: oltre il pedaggio La sfida: realizzare dispositivi tecnologicamente avanzati in grado di supportare l’evoluzione dei servizi di mobilità. Per saperne di più, abbiamo intervistato Sabino Titomanlio, Business Director di Movyon, Gruppo Autostrade per l’Italia Fabrizio Parati Map Matching: immagine satellitare. Map Matching: satellite image. Le linee di sviluppo a cui qui accenneremo attingono a un sapere di lunga data. Sono, infatti, la fulgente manifestazione dello sviluppo dei dispositivi che, a bordo del veicolo, consentono agli automobilisti di pagare automaticamente i servizi di mobilità, in città e nelle autostrade a pedaggio senza richiedere alcun intervento manuale del cliente / utente. La tecnologia alla base delle On Board Unit in circolazione in Italia è di Movyon. Cosa può dirci a tal proposito? Una On Board Unit rappresenta il terminale a bordo di un veicolo (automobile o veicolo commerciale) di un sistema più complesso e più este- so che prevede altri elementi centrali necessari ad erogare un servizio. L’idea del telepedaggio nasce in Italia ormai più di 30 anni fa e rappresenta il primo vero esempio di Internet Of Things, ante litteram. Da allora Movyon ha distribuito nel nostro Paese 20 milioni di dispositivi OBU. La tecnologia alla base dei sistemi di telepedaggio - e con ciò intendo sia quella che sta a bordo dei mezzi sia quella centrale - è stata realizzata da quella realtà nata come Autostrade Tech e che oggi si chiama Movyon, centro di eccellenza per la ricerca e l’innovazione del Gruppo Autostrade per l’Italia e leader nello sviluppo e nell’integrazione di soluzioni di Intelligent Transport Systems. English Version On Board Unit: beyond tolling THE CHALLENGE: TO PROVIDE TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED DEVICES THAT CAN ACCOMPANY THE EVOLUTION OF MOBILITY SERVICES. TO LEARN MORE, WE INTERVIEWED SABINO TITOMANLIO, BUSINESS DIRECTOR AT MOVYON, AUTOSTRADE PER L’ITALIA GROUP The development lines we will mention here draw on long-standing know-how. They are, in fact, the shining outcome of developing on board devices that enable motorists to automatically pay for mobility services in the city and on toll freeways without the need for any manual intervention by the customer/user. The technology behind the On Board Units on the Italian roads is from Movyon. Can you give us more details? An On Board Unit is the in-vehicle device (car or commercial vehicle) of a more complex and extended system that includes other central elements needed to deliver a service. The idea of electronic tolling originated in Italy more than 30 years ago, and represents the first real example of the Internet Of Things, before its time. Since then, Movyon has distributed 20 million OBU devices in our country. The technology behind the electronic tolling systems – and, by that, I mean both on board the vehicles and the central technology - has been created by the company that began as Autostrade Tech and is now called Movyon, a center of excellence for research and innovation of the Autostrade per l’Italia Group and a leader in the development and integration of Intelligent Transport Systems solutions. What On Board Units does Movyon offer? Movyon produces two objects with different technologies. With DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication) technology in the 5.8 GHz frequency band the device connects to the complete system and communicates with ground infrastructure antennas via transponder communication. The transaction is generated when the vehicle passes through the tolling lane. DSRC On Board units are those normally used in electronic tolling systems for private vehicles, and they generate 800 million transactions a year on Movyon’s devices alone! DSRC devices have been very successful because they are inexpensive and easy to use, but, as we shall see, they can be further improved and upgraded. On the other hand, satellite On Board Units use GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems, which include GPS, Galileo and Glonass) to enable electronic tolling and tracking services for vehicles covering long distances and therefore crossing different toll domains, typically commercial vehicles. GNSS On Board Units send vehicle geolocation data to the central platform. Thanks to sophisticated algorithms developed by Movyon to reconstruct the actual route of the vehicle (map matching), a single device can support payment for a trip that crosses many coun- Infrastrutture&Mobilità 32 3/<strong>2024</strong> <strong>leStrade</strong> <strong>leStrade</strong> 3/<strong>2024</strong> 33
