We are proud to announce that our colleagues Espedito Saponaro and Andrea Lai contributed to the winning of the “Neil Mansfield Award” at the European Transport Conference (ETC) 2024. The award was given for the paper titled “Smart Road assessment: analysis of impacts on levels of service, emissions and road safety”, presented by Marco Sala (NET Engineering), along with contributions from other professionals including Giovanni Acciaro, Margherita Sartori, and Eugenio Morello.

The judges praised the paper for its well-structured approach and robust analysis, recognizing its positive contribution to research and the industry on smart roads, road safety, and emissions reduction.

 

The second edition of “Study on the costs and benefits of the urban mobility transition” has been published

EIT costs and benefitsTRT Trasporti e Territorio is pleased to announce that the second edition of the Study on the costs and benefits of the urban mobility transition has been published!

This study, realized for EIT Urban Mobility, explores the transition to sustainable urban mobility in Europe by 2030 and 2050, through the simulation of 12 city prototypes to reflect different urban characteristics. The model estimates several transport, environment, and economic indicators, including the CO2emission reduction as well as the investments and costs linked to the deployment of packages of sustainable mobility measures needed to reach the Green Deal objectives.

Key findings of the study show that while technology advancements alone could reduce CO2 emissions by 21% by 2030, achieving the Green Deal targets requires much more ambitious measures. The only emission reduction pathway for urban mobility that meets the 2030 Green Deal target involves a 44% reduction in emissions, but it comes with significant challenges in terms of public acceptance and behaviour change.

 

New website and features in MOMOS – Model for Sustainable urban Mobility

  • 29 November 2023
  • News

logo ENGMOMOS – Sustainable MObility Model, is a strategic assessment tool for the analysis of integrated mobility strategies. The model has been developed and designed by TRT for supporting Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMP) in some Italian cities, as well as for European studies focusing on the transition toward sustainable urban mobility and decarbonisation targets.

MOMOS is constantly under development, on one hand to increase the accuracy of estimated indicators and improve its adaptation to various urban contexts, on the other hand to include new forms of mobility, services and planning. Indeed, urban mobility is constantly evolving, whilst complexity and integration of transport systems is continuously increasing, motivating the development of new technologies and services, and emphasizing the need for solutions aiming at improving sustainability and livability of cities.

TRT joins SLOCAT Partnership!

We are pleased to announce that TRT Trasporti e Territorio has joined the SLOCAT (Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport) Partnership. As the name of the initiative suggests, the partnership focuses on promoting and enabling collaborative knowledge and action for sustainable, low carbon transport.

SLOCAT is an international partnership involving more than 90 associations, transportation companies, universities, government agencies, and NGOs, cooperating to promote a more equitable, more resilient and healthier transport and mobility systems.

SLOCAT’s main activities include being active in international and local advocacy campaigns on sustainable transport and climate, participating and organizing peer-learning and capacity building initiatives, drafting thematic reports, guidelines and recommendations, etc.

Through this collaboration, TRT will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of sustainable and inclusive mobility at the global level, establish synergies with the partnership’s members and have access to a wide network of governmental and non-governmental stakeholders. In particular, TRT will collaborate with them by participating to development of reports and studies, sharing our work and results with partners working on similar issues, and much more.

The H2020 funded project HARMONY concludes with the final conference in Barcelona. 20 partners from 9 different countries worked together to enable metropolitan area authorities to lead a sustainable transition to a low-carbon new mobility era. The HARMONY Model Suite has been implemented by linking models at strategical, tactical and operational levels, leading to a spatial and multimodal planning tool. A mobile application – the MOBY App – has been developed to collect urban transport data, to be used in the Activity-Based model, one of the most recent modelling algorithms to simulate mobility habits.

DEMONSTRATION WORKSHOP - TORINO

 

HARMONY is a European project funded by the European Commission within the Horizon 2020 Programme. It began in June 2019 and is scheduled to end in February 2023. The consortium, coordinated by the University College of London, consists of 21 partners from 9 European countries. HARMONY’s main goal is to develop a new generation of harmonised spatial and multimodal transport planning tools which comprehensively model the dynamics of the changing transport sector and spatial organisation, enabling metropolitan area authorities to lead the transition to a low carbon new mobility era in a sustainable manner.

The H2020 funded project HARMONY aims to develop a new generation of harmonised spatial and multimodal transport planning tools, to represent new forms of mobility for freight and people, enabling metropolitan areas authorities to lead the transition to a low carbon new mobility era in a sustainable manner.

The Rail Baltica transport demand model project is now completed

logo M neraRail Baltica is a rail transport infrastructure project that integrates the Baltic States in the European rail network connecting Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and indirectly also Finland. It is a fully interoperable railway line of more than 870 km in length designed for both passenger and freight transport and planned to become operational in 2027.

The Rail Baltica transport demand model project, led by TRT, has developed and implemented a multimodal transport model to forecast the passenger and freight demand for the Rail Baltica infrastructure up to the year 2056.

Our study on Costs and Benefits of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Transition is online

Tableau EIT result

How much will the transition to sustainable urban mobility cost in European cities? Which benefits and changes in mobility will it bring? What will be the most cost-effective policies to accelerate this transition?

These are some of the questions that a new study from TRT Trasporti e Territorio has been replying to.

The study, commissioned by EIT Urban Mobility and released today, produced a quantification of the costs and benefits of the transition to sustainable urban mobility in European cities by 2030 and 2050. The analysis was carried out with the modelling tool MOMOS, which allowed to assess the impacts of different mobility transition scenarios.
