Technical assistance to the TranSafe-Alp project TranSAFE-Alp project had the objective of improving the levels of safety and security on the Alpine road network and the management of emergencies, with the final aim of reducing fatalities caused by natural critical events and road accidents. The Veneto Region, the leading partner, commissioned TRT Trasporti e Territorio to provide technical assistance for supporting project management and to contribute with technical and scientific research in several related activities. TRT also developed a financial reporting tool, the identification of the technical requirements of the JITES tool and leaded the coordination of the evaluation activities conducted for assessing the project results.

Public Transport Plan: Varese Hospital TRT carried out the Public transport plan of Varese Hospital (about 1.900 workers). The objectives of the plan are: to promote the safety and sustainable access to the Hospital by foot and cycling, safer link between the centre of city and the hospital area; to optimize the use of the car, reducing car dependency for the hospital’s workers i.e. improving carpooling and car sharing solution; the definition of new parking lots regulation and pricing system for workers.

Introduction of measures (including a bike sharing system) to promote cycling in eastern Lake Iseo area Comunità Montana Sebino Bresciano (Local Authority) and CARIPLO (Bank Foundation) promoted a feasibility study for the development of cycle-pedestrian mobility in the area located along the coastal side of the Iseo Lake (North of Italy). TRT produced the feasibility study focused on the design of a bike-sharing service, business model and regulation framework between local authority and transport operators.

Wide-area bicycle plan for the Northern part of the Milano province (Italy) The Municipality of Legnano leader of a group of 23 municipalities in the northern area of Milano, jointly with  CARIPLO (Bank Foundation), selected TRT for the preparation of the cycling mobility plan for the North-Milano suburban area. Design of cycling network; Public transport and cycling connections; Cycling services for commuters and leisure users.

Parma Urban Mobility Plan TRT was responsible for updating of the Parma Urban Mobility Plan (also previously prepared by TRT in 2005 and adopted in 2006). The plan was an innovative tool as sustainability goals gave emphasis to a concept of mobility that introduced different measures and policies for different parts of the city: central area, the city of pedestrians and soft mobility;ù urban area, the city of the space shared between the soft mobility  and the vehicular mobility; wide area, the city’s private and collective mobility

Transport Assessment for the introduction of  the Multi Lane Free Flow Toll System Project provided a detailed study on the electronic toll systems “free flow” implemented on several international highways and a description of benefits arising from the introduction of the toll system for the new highway Brebemi (Brescia-Bergamo-Milano). The analysis focused on: technological, operating characteristics, different control practices for non-payments and the legal aspects governing the motorway sector. The role and the power of the motorway concessionaire in reducing toll violations has been outlined.

“Mediana” motorway TRT was commissioned by the Verona Province to carry out a technical-economic analysis on the provincial road “Mediana”, as a strategic axis connecting Verona to the southern area of the province. TRT estimated  the current and the forecast traffic demand on the new road. TRT also contributed to develop the Financial Plan of the new infrastructure. TRT took into account the project financing process in order to give an overview of the financial state of the promoting company during the realisation and operational phases.

Preparation of tender documents for the provision of Public Transport Services of the Molise Region (technical assistance) ATM Molise involved TRT in the support for the preparation of the technical offer of the tender for the provision of local (extra-urban) public transport services announced by the Molise Region.

Eastern bypass of Brescia The study analysed different options of the alignment of a link with features of a motorway, in the eastern territory of Brescia. TRT coordinated the whole project. Notably, TRT developed the traffic simulation model in reference solution and project scenarios and carried out both cost-benefit and financial analyses.
