MILAN (Reuters) - Having sold its motorway business in Italy, Atlantia is investing in smart traffic technology to help drive development of cleaner transport and open up new markets such as the United States.

Controlled by the Benetton family, the infrastructure group is seeking to finally put behind it a dispute triggered by the deadly collapse of a motorway bridge operated by its Autostrade per l'Italia business in Genoa in 2018.
