  • LivingRAIL – Living in a sustainable world focused on electrified rail The goal of the LivingRAIL project was to elaborate a vision of a sustainable transport system and society in 2050 where transport needs are overwhelmingly served by electrified rail The analytical work first separated rail transport specific visions of how the sector could perform by 2050 from a broader vision of how Europeans would live and work in 40 years time to eventually combine the two. The analytical work combined literature survey, statistical analyses and model applications with expert workshops, targeted interviews and scenario techniques.

  • Study on the stated preferences regarding the use of car-sharing TRT has carried the study on the use of a new car-sharing service for the city of Milan on behalf of the Polytechnic of Milan . The stated preferences method is used to gather information on users’ choices in relation to hypothetical situations, which do not exist or are different from the reality. The survey method was then applied to measure the possible impact of a car-sharing service aimed at “residents” and “companies”. The activities included the identification of a sample (1,000 interviews), the definition of the survey questionnaire (distributed via web) and the processing of the results obtained. The questionnaire included several exercises of choice in hypothetical cases of use of the service, aimed at quantifying a series of behavioral parameters. The elaboration of the results was specifically carried out to quantify the parameters of the transport demand functions, concerning the disposition to share one’s car and to use the service.

Capacity building activities of the staff of the Ministry of Transport complemented the project activities.   [tw_sh_column][tw_sh_column_item item_animation=”none” item_animation_offset=”” column_size=”1 / 3″][/tw_sh_column_item][tw_sh_column_item item_animation=”none” item_animation_offset=”” column_size=”1 / 3″][/tw_sh_column_item][tw_sh_column_item item_animation=”none” item_animation_offset=”” column_size=”1 / 3″] [/tw_sh_column_item][/tw_sh_column] [tw_button icon=”” link=”http://www.trt.it/en/projects/” size=”small” rounded=”false” style=”flat” hover=”default” color=”#223468″ target=”_self”]Projects[/tw_button]
  • An ex-post evaluation of transport infrastructure charging policy: update of the external cost handbook and impact assessment of future legislative proposals The project is articulated in two stages. A first part of the project dealt with the ex-post assessment of the impacts deriving from the application of  the “Eurovignette Directive” which sets the framework for road user charging policy at the European level. The second part of the project carried out an ex-ante impact assessment of the future legislative proposals for road infrastructure charging that will be presented to the European Parliament and the Council.
