Most of the journeys inside the city are carried out by private transport (60%), whilst 40% are carried out by public transport. For commuting, the percentage of commuters utilizing private transport is 70% whilst the usage of public transport decreases to 30%.

SETA in Turin

SETA will provide Turin with the chance of increasing their knowledge of mobility needs and pattern. Turin will provide a testbed for testing and validation of the SETA solution, through the following activities:

• The mobility planning applications will be released to thousands of citizens and business to help plan their everyday transport and will provide ubiquitous crowdsourcing and sensing.
  
• The SETA decision maker dashboard will be used by the city council for daily and long term decision making and planning. In particular the dashboard will be integrated in the traffic and emergency control room managed by the City of Turin through their controlled company 5T.
  
• The SETA solution will be used to integrate existing infrastructure data with new transport data from physical and social sensors, allowing ubiquitous information currently impossible.
