BONVOYAGE

Horizon 2020

BONVOYAGE will design, develop and test a platform optimizing multimodal door-to-door transport of passengers and goods. The platform integrates travel information, planning and ticketing services, by automatically analysing non-real-time data from heterogeneous databases (on road, railway and urban transport systems); real-time measured data (traffic, weather forecasts); user profiles; user feedback. BONVOYAGE will trial and demonstrate the platform and communication network in integrated, large-scale, real life application scenarios, incorporated into the normal business operations of our transport operator partners.

T-NOVA

FP7-ICT

Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) is an emerging concept, which refers to the migration of certain network functionalities, traditionally performed by hardware elements, to virtualized IT infrastructures, where they are deployed as software components. With the aim of promoting the NFV concept, T-NOVA introduces a novel enabling framework, allowing operators not only to deploy virtualized Network Functions (NFs) for their own needs, but also to offer them to their customers, as value-added services. T-NOVA designs and implements a management/orchestration platform for the automated provision, configuration, monitoring and optimization of Network Functions-as-a-Service (NFaaS) over virtualised Network/IT infrastructures. T-NOVA leverages and enhances cloud management architectures for the elastic provision and (re-) allocation of IT resources assigned to the hosting of Network Functions. It also exploits and extends Software Defined Networking platforms for efficient management of the network infrastructure. Natl.

E-CUBE

IND-2015

The aim of the E-Cube project is the creation of a system including components and scalable infrastructures enabling the control, optimization and dynamic management of energy consumption, both for residential and commercial/industrial facilities. The optimization efforts will be driven by energy efficient and effective policies, defined and exploited by the project. The full objective of the system is to rationalize power consumption, allowing energy saving simultaneously with perceived comfort increase, by balancing the user wellness and the environment advantages obtainable by applying the project outcomes.

MOBINCITY

FP7-ICT

MOBINCITY aims at the optimization of FEV autonomy range and the increase in energy
efficiency thanks to the development of a complete ICT-based integrated system able to interact between driver,
vehicle and transport and energy infrastructures, taking advantage of the information provided from these
sources in order to optimise both energy charging and discharging processes (trip planning and routing).
