SINELEC EMERAS - Software Engineering

Reshaping the future of mobility

In an increasingly connected and interconnected world, technology is finding new forms and ways to re-shape and improve our daily activities, offering us greater quality, safety, convenience and sustainability. One area where the near future promises to offer us innovative solutions is certainly that of mobility, public and private.
On this theme, Senelec invited us to an exciting software engineering challenge aimed at perfecting the communication between vehicles and infrastructure to bring to life a new way of experiencing mobility.

Sinelec is a company specializing in the design, implementation and maintenance of technology solutions for the optimized and safe management of traffic and transportation infrastructure. Building on 20 years of experience in the highway sector, with solutions applied in 900 toll collection gates that process more than 500 million transits annually, and with a traffic management and control platform that manages a road network of more than 1,400 kilometers, Sinelec has been called upon to participate in the creation of a sustainable mobility model through digitization and adaptation of infrastructure to the needs of future mobility, such as the introduction of autonomous vehicles and new services based on the digital connections of the road ecosystem.

Challenge

Reliable and secure communication between infrastructure and vehicles

Sinelec expressed to us the need for a sophisticated system that would enable efficient management of road infrastructure, through:

  • The improvement of communication between infrastructure and transit vehicles;
  • The adoption of a robust and articulated back-end infrastructure to ensure reliability and scalability of their system;
  • support for various communication protocols essential for a modern, interconnected road network.

Proposed Solution

Connecting skills, devices and automation

We began our collaboration with Sinelec with synergistic work on the development of their proprietary EMERAS platform, deputed for road infrastructure management.
We are also collaborating with their development team in the realization of a V2X - veicol-2(to)-X automated communication system: this solution will enable the exchange of information between RSUs (Road Side Units) and OBUs (On Board Units) of vehicles, handling any communication protocol (DSRC/ITS-G5 or 4G/5G).
To equip the system with a suitable back-end to ensure the necessary performance and stability, we identified a back-end on Kubernetes clusters as the best solution. Finally, we are integrating the system with roadside ITS devices to make real-time two-way interconnection between vehicles and infrastructure possible and reliable.

Results

The future of mobility is being born

Together with Sinelec, we are laying the foundations in Italy for the future of connected, safer and energy-efficient mobility and protection, thanks to the independence from wireless communication standards guaranteed by EMERAS, the present and future investments of road operators in smart mobility.
