What they do
Their core work
KITE Solutions is a small Italian IT company that develops software and data management solutions for the transport safety sector. Their work spans aviation safety knowledge management (SKEMAS), cyclist-vehicle interaction safety systems (XCYCLE), and gamified eco-driving platforms (GamECAR). They sit at the intersection of software development and transport, providing digital tools that make mobility safer and more efficient.
Core expertise
What they specialise in
Knowledge management systemssecondary
1 project
SKEMAS focused on knowledge sharing for effective management of aviation safety, where KITE served as coordinator.
Gamification and driver behavioremerging
1 project
GamECAR applied gamification techniques to eco-driving behavior through intelligent management of car and driver information.
Vulnerable road user protectionsecondary
1 project
XCYCLE addressed measures to reduce cyclist fatalities and improve comfort in interaction with motorized vehicles.
Evolution & trajectory
How they've shifted over time
Early focus
Aviation safety data management
Recent focus
Road transport digital tools
KITE's H2020 activity spans a short window (2014–2018) making it difficult to identify a strong directional shift. Their earliest work (SKEMAS, 2014) focused on aviation safety data management, while later projects moved toward road transport — first cyclist safety (XCYCLE, 2015), then gamified eco-driving (GamECAR, 2017). The trajectory suggests a gradual shift from aviation-focused knowledge tools toward road transport applications with stronger user-facing digital components.
KITE appears to be moving from back-end knowledge management toward user-facing digital applications in road safety and eco-driving, though no H2020 activity after 2018 limits certainty about their current direction.
Collaboration profile
How they like to work
Role: specialist_contributorReach: European8 countries collaborated
KITE has coordinated one project (the smaller SME-1 instrument SKEMAS) and participated in two larger consortia (RIA and IA), suggesting they are comfortable both leading focused initiatives and contributing specialist IT skills to bigger teams. With 16 unique partners across 8 countries from just 3 projects, they appear to integrate well into diverse European consortia rather than relying on repeat partnerships.
Despite only three projects, KITE has built connections with 16 partners across 8 countries, indicating broad European exposure primarily through the larger XCYCLE and GamECAR consortia. Their network is transport-safety oriented with a mix of research institutions and industry partners.
Why partner with them
What sets them apart
KITE occupies a niche as a small IT company that specifically targets transport safety problems with software solutions — not a generic software house, but one with domain knowledge in mobility. Their ability to coordinate an SME Instrument project while also contributing to larger research and innovation actions shows flexibility. For consortium builders needing a software partner who understands transport safety data, they bring both the technical and domain expertise in one small, agile package.
Notable projects
Highlights from their portfolio
- XCYCLELargest funded project (EUR 341,875) addressing the critical and growing policy area of cyclist safety in mixed traffic environments.
- SKEMASKITE's only coordinator role, won through the competitive SME Instrument Phase 1, validating their aviation safety knowledge management concept.
