- Flex-Rail – Paradigm shifts for railway – Technology uptake strategies for a lean, integrated and flexible railway system Shift2Rail (S2R, shift2rail.org) develops the building blocks for the future rail system, as envisaged in the Multi‐Annual Action Plan (MAAP). However, S2R’s work programmes need to be continuously monitored and updated to ensure that they optimally make use of the potential of new technological innovations and developments rising in the society, other industries and specifically within the rail sector. The Flex‐Rail project has the objective of identifying and assessing technological possibilities and innovative concepts that can shape rail operating and business models, aiming to contribute to the formulation of required paradigm shifts for the rail sector. In this view, Flex-Rail has the vision to target a lean, integrated and flexible railway system to stimulate further innovation of the rail sector and ensure that rail the services can address the future user needs. In particular, the Flex-Rail project addresses the following aspects: forecast the evolution of key fundamental technologies and identification of technical risks and potential blocking points; analysis of possible achievement of future impacts, through the definition and implementation of an impact assessment framework and modelling tool for rail scenario and transition pathways; formulation of technological concepts for a future rail system scenario developed on a participatory process involving the users of the rail system. Also, the scenarios build on the analysis of trends and innovations happening in other transport sectors; assessment of business feasibility and analysis of the current safety requirements. The Flex-Rail project develops an in‐depth overview of the state of the art of ideas and technological trends related to innovations of the transport industry and non‐transport sector technologies. As such, it constitutes a knowledge basis for subsequent activities focussed on (i) the definition of key performance indicators, which are key assessment components, (ii) the identification of gaps and development of future (rail system) transition pathways and (iii) the impact assessment of these transition pathways and scenarios. A dedicate interactive website has been created to explore technological trends an innovations relevant for rail transport(*). On these basis, a dedicated assessment framework has been designed to determine the impact of innovation packages and transition pathways on a number of key performance indicators for rail transport and per System Platform Demonstrator (SPD), as defined in S2R’s MAAP. A gap analysis for each SPD has been developed, considering the fulfilment of user’s requirements of rail and modal competitors and for different market segments. This has allowed to identify potential market segments and rail modal share growth. By evaluating such possible paradigm solutions, with aligning or enabling trends and technologies, future scenarios have been developed and assessed on the basis of an open-innovation process for collecting additional future requirements. Among its activities, Flex-Rail mapped projects, studies, initiatives and experts’ groups outputs related to new technologies and trends within and outside the transport sectors that may directly and indirectly have an influence on the rail transport sector. Mapping such these activities ensured coherence with the worldwide […]

- 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.
- 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.

- 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.
