One room pulls together CCTV, floating-car data, centrally timed traffic lights and the ZTL gates, feeding travel times to some 300 bus-stop displays. Operators staff it from 7:00 to 20:00, not around the clock.

Roma Servizi per la Mobilità runs Rome's Centrale della Mobilità for Roma Capitale, a city-wide control room that pulls together CCTV, roadside traffic-monitoring stations, floating-car data, variable-message signs, centralized (UTC) traffic lights, transit feeds and the ZTL enforcement gates to manage traffic in real time. Operators watch conditions and events from 7:00 to 20:00 every day, feeding travel-time estimates to roughly 300 electronic bus-stop displays and public panels. The unified platform consolidated systems built up over years, with a decision-support upgrade announced in 2021.

Claim 1 clm-cd63aa6b479a1007 descriptive
Roma Servizi per la Mobilità runs Rome's Centrale della Mobilità for Roma Capitale
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The operator's own page on the Centrale della Mobilità states that the control room is planned and run by Roma Servizi per la Mobilità on behalf of the city: "Roma Servizi per la Mobilità (RSM), per conto di Roma Capitale, sta quindi programmando e progettando una serie di interventi", and adds that "è stata realizzata una centrale operativa che, attraverso il coordinamento dei fornitori dei diversi sottosistemi, permetta la gestione, la stima ed il controllo della mobilità e del traffico".

Claim 2 clm-e9819ca325def10c descriptive
a city-wide control room that pulls together CCTV, roadside traffic-monitoring stations, floating-car data
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The operator page lists the platform's functions as "Acquisizione dei dati da sistemi di rilevamento del traffico", "Integrazione dati di sistemi di videosorveglianza, ambientali, ZTL, monitoraggio flotte" and "Integrazione floating car data oltre ai dati provenienti dai sensori fissi tradizionali", and names the traditional sensor network as "il sistema di videosorveglianza, le stazioni di misura".
Caveat
The same page's table of data flows lists the floating-car-data feed with the system column reading "In fase di acquisizione" — still being procured — so that strand is described as an intended input rather than a documented running one.

Claim 3 clm-b976629fea8f328a descriptive
variable-message signs, centralized (UTC) traffic lights, transit feeds and the ZTL enforcement gates
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The operator page's table of the data flows handled by the Centrale lists variable-message panels ("Pannelli a Messaggio Variabile (PMV)" from Leonardo, Aesys and Project Automation), four urban traffic control systems ("Urban Traffic Control System (UTC)": Swarco Utopia Omnia, La Semaforica TMACS, Leonardo Sigma Plus, Project Automation), public-transport feeds ("ATAC (GTFS, GTFS-R)", Roma TPL, Infomobilità) and ZTL enforcement ("Zone a Traffico Limitato (ZTL) e sanzionamento"). The activity list adds that the Centrale "gestisce i sistemi di sanzionamento automatico quali: varchi delle varie ZTL".

Claim 4 clm-fa33b884f9cbfb9c descriptive
to manage traffic in real time
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The operator page states that the Centrale "monitora in tempo reale, coordinandosi con diversi soggetti, istituzionali e non, lo stato della mobilità nel suo complesso e provvede alla diffusione delle informazioni agli utenti".
Caveat
The page describes real-time monitoring, coordination with other agencies and the distribution of information. It places the actual regulation of traffic one level down, in the first-level ITS systems that work with "intelligenza distribuita negli apparati periferici" and that it calls a support to road-traffic regulation rather than the regulator itself.

Claim 5 clm-baa58925fe2177c2 quantitative
Operators watch conditions and events from 7:00 to 20:00 every day
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The operator page states the staffing window in its own words: "Il presidio è garantito dalle 7:00 alle 20:00, tutti i giorni dell'anno." The preceding sentence says the Centrale oversees data acquisition, maintenance and automatic sanctioning, and monitors the state of mobility in real time in coordination with other bodies.
Caveat
This window is the staffed presence of the control room, not the operating hours of the ZTL zones or of the automatic enforcement systems, which the same page lists separately and which run on their own schedules.

Claim 6 clm-b5489529f475fa6a descriptive
feeding travel-time estimates
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The operator page says the Centrale oversees the data stream coming from the public-transport operators Atac and RomaTpl "finalizzato al continuo aggiornamento delle previsioni di arrivo degli autobus alle fermate".
Caveat
What the page describes is the continuous updating of predicted bus arrival times at stops, not an estimate of how long a journey across the network will take.

Claim 7 clm-9c664401803da177 quantitative
roughly 300 electronic bus-stop displays and public panels
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The operator's Centrale della Mobilità page lists publishing information on "pannelli a messaggio variabile" and "paline elettroniche" — variable-message panels and electronic bus-stop displays — without a count. The operator's AVM page supplies the number: the project made it possible "di fornire informazioni al pubblico attraverso circa 300 paline elettroniche, siti e app".
Caveat
The AVM page carries no date for the count and lists the displays alongside websites and apps, so the figure describes the information service as a whole rather than a stock counted on a given day. Neither page gives a count for the variable-message panels.

Claim 8 clm-217863aac4da2c22 descriptive
The unified platform consolidated systems built up over years
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The operator page describes exactly this consolidation: the control room was built "integrando sottosistemi eterogenei, realizzati nel corso degli anni, sulla base di esigenze operative e soluzioni tecnologiche diverse", and the data lake is presented as the single aggregation point that removes the complexity of dealing with each subsystem separately.
Caveat
No claim-specific caveat recorded

Claim 9 clm-2d3a7544542930d5 descriptive
with a decision-support upgrade
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The trade-association news item describes the new-generation Centrale, built with the digital-innovation company AlmavivA, as carrying a "modulo DSS (Decision Support System) per gestire le criticità presenti nella rete, reindirizzando il traffico attraverso pannelli a messaggio variabile e piani semaforici di onde verdi".
Caveat
The item is an announcement, written throughout in the future tense — the control room "sarà operativa", "consentirà", "Il sistema fornirà" — so it describes what the decision-support module was intended to do, not a module observed in service. No listed source reports the module going live.

  • Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
  • Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
  • A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
  • The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
