  • PUMAS – Planning Sustainable Regional Urban Mobility in the Alpine Space The PUMAS project is part of the wider territorial cooperation Programme “Alpine Space 2007-2013” which includes the Alpine region neighboring countries. PUMAS aims at testing and validating the methodology developed by the Eltis project (www.mobilityplans.eu) for the drafting of the sustainable mobility plans (SUMP). TRT provides technical assistance to the Venice Municipality, coordinator of the PUMAS project, by providing support in reporting, meeting and seminars organisation, communication and dissemination, drafting documents, evaluation and technical assistance to the seven pilot projects.   [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]
  • Drafting of tender documents for the provision of urban Public Transport Services of city of Isernia TRT, within the procurement notice on the tender of the provision for urban public transport services, gave support to ATM Molise in the preparation of the technical offer. Activities were related to: territorial analysis, the reconnaissance of the status quo situation about the public transport (services and infrastructures), the identification of the network, lines and new stops, the construction of timetables and the calculation of service and accessibility indicators. Besides, the attention was focussed on the interventions to design the stops (platforms, poles, elimination of conflicts) and upgrade information to users (timetables, electronic displays, maps related to the urban mobility system).

  • 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.
