City of Santa Caterina Valfurva, Sustainable mobility strategy
Santa Caterina Valfurva – Smart Territory – Autofree The assistance for the implementation of the Santa Caterina Smart Territory strategy is focused on the Santa Caterina car-free project. The activities, which take place in collaboration with Ambiente Italia (leader) and Polinomia, concern four points: Parking policy; Definition of practical interventions on urban furniture; Ski Bus service provision; Strategies for implementing interventions to limit vehicles access to the road to Forni, second largest regional alpine glacier. TRT was in charge of putting in place solutions for vehicle traffic reduction in the tourist resort of Santa Caterina, through the design of public transport services that guarantee access to resident and tourists. Moreover, TRT contributed to the identification of possible solutions for the progressive closure to traffic of the Forni’s road (from Santa Caterina to Forni Glacier), through measures of regulation and/or pricing. Both strategies aim to reduce the traffic that crosses the center of Santa Caterina, increasing the environmental quality and the tourist attractiveness of the town.
City of Piacenza, Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan
Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) and the Urban Traffic Plan (PUT) of the Municipality of Piacenza, complemented/integrated by the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) The Municipality of Piacenza (102,000 inhabitants approx.) has commissioned TRT Trasporti e Territorio, through a public tender, to draft the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan and the Urban Transport Plan of the city of Piacenza. The drafting of the SUMP of Piacenza was developed in accordance with the ELTIS’ methodology and, at the national level, with the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (Decree August 4, 2017). The SUMP was launched in October 2018 and it consists of the following activities: updating of the local mobility and planning context; evaluation of the current scenario (diagnostic framework and SWOT analysis) and definition of general and specific objectives and indicators; elaboration of the Plan and quantification of resources, including the identification of alternative scenarios (RS and SP), the ex-ante evaluation (technical, economic and environmental), the quantification of financial resources and the definition of the monitoring system; adoption and approval of the plan. In parallel, a traffic simulation tool was developed for technical, environmental and economic assessment. A crucial element of the Plan’s drafting process was the participatory process, which included: i) a survey aimed at those who live, work and study in Piacenza, with the dual purpose to define the transport demand and to know the needs of those who move daily across the city; ii) thematic and territorial focus groups; iii) informal evenings to explain the Plan to residents; iv) a final conference. The Plan was subjected to Strategic Environmental Assessment, adopted with the Municipal Council Resolution n.2020 / 20 – of 24/01/2020 and approved by the City Council Resolution n.57 of 28/12/2020.

City of Bergamo, Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan
Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) of Bergamo (Italy) and related SEA With 120,000 residents, Bergamo is the fourth largest city in Lombardy. According to the origin-destination survey carried out by Regione Lombardia in 2014, 366,000 journeys daily affect the municipal territory. The drafting of the SUMP of Bergamo guaranteed consistency with the methodology suggested by the European Commission (www.eltis.org) and with the guidelines issued by the Italian Ministry of Transports (Decree 4 August 2017). Started in July 2018, the work has been organised in four phases:: background analysis of the mobility-related framework and its environmental, social and economic impact in Bergamo; evaluation of the current scenario (diagnostic framework and SWOT analysis) and subsequent definition of the general and specific objectives system as well as measurement indicators; elaboration of the SUMP, including the identification of alternative scenarios, the selection of the related policies and measures, the preparation of a monitoring plan for the ex post evaluation of the plan; acceptance and approval process. The plan has been prepared with the support of a traffic simulation model thus allowing for a detailed technical, environmental and economic evaluation. A tool for strategic evaluation (MOMOS, entirely developed by TRT) has been also used. A fundamental element of the SUMP has been the participatory process, which has included a survey on mobility habits addressed to those who live, work and study in Bergamo and four thematic focus groups. The sustainability of the SUMP has been supported by a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and an assessment of the effects of the Plan for the naturalistic Site of Community Importance (SCI) named «Boschi dell’Astino e dell’Allegrezza». The SUMP of Bergamo has been accepted by the City Council on 16/05/2019 and eventually approved om 05/07/2022.

EUSALP – Existing pricing components
Overview of existing pricing components that influence the competitiveness between road and rail freight transport The Alpine regions are particularly sensitive to negative environmental and social impacts caused by the road traffic flow of freight and passenger transport through the Alps. To tackle this challenge, the harmonisation and implementation of modal shift policies is of utmost relevance. EUSALP Action Group 4 on Mobility (AG4) has commissioned to TRT Trasporti e Territorio a study to support its strategy in designing a proper mix of modal shift policies. TRT provided an overall analysis of existing policy-induced pricing components affecting the competitiveness between road and rail freight transport in and through the Alps. The objectives of the study were: To collect detailed information on policy-induced pricing components that influence road and rail transport cost; To develop a comparative illustration of them for supporting political discussion and communication; To provide preliminary recommendations to improve the instrument mix for balancing the transport modal split in the Alpine Region.

COGnitive Logistics Operations
COG-LO – COGnitive Logistics Operations through secure, dynamic and ad-hoc collaborative networks The main goal of COG-LO, an innovative project on ICT logistics solutions funded by the European Programme Horizon 2020, was to create the framework and tools to implement cognitive and collaborative ICT solutions on future logistics processes, embracing many contexts and environments. By exploiting COG-LO, it was possible to achieve several benefits, such as: increase the load factor, reduce the cross-border parcel delivery costs, reduce the ratio between distance covered by the logistic vehicles and the number of pickups, implement quick adaptive response management to dynamic customer requirements. The project outcomes were validated in three different pilots, covering multi-modality, inter-country deliveries and urban logistics operations. The international partnership involved 14 public and private actors working both in transportation and ICT fields across eight European countries. TRT leaded WP2 (Cognitive logistics framework), capitalizing on its vast experience on freight transport and logistics research projects. It also brought its long experience in the field of quantitative analysis, strategic planning, KPIs assessment by supporting the technological requirements analysis in one of the pilots developed along the project (the EKOL case on intra-terminal operations and multimodality solutions).
