Municipal Cycling Mobility Plan for Ugento
Drafting of the Cycling Mobility Plan of the Municipality of Ugento (Salento), strategic vision to promote cycling for daily travel and for tourism The Municipal Administration of Ugento has entrusted “TRT Ingegneria” with the drafting of the Municipal Cycling Mobility Plan, after obtaining funding from the Puglia Region in 2021. The territory of Ugento is characterised by a strong vocation for tourism. This is due to the possibility of taking advantage of its numerous natural and environmental resources, including its marinas and parks, as well as the presence of a significant historical and cultural heritage. The primary public will for the area is to enhance and support the tourism system, and in this regard, cycling plays a particularly important role. Given the characteristics of the city of Ugento, the proposed bicycle network is developed by integrating the central urban area with the extensive network of existing suburban paths and white roads. This is done to define a complete active mobility network in the entire municipal territory that supports not only daily movements but also recreational and leisure trips. The Cycling Plan proposal considers as a starting point some references projects that involve the municipal territory at various levels. These are “La ciclovia dei Tre Mari”, the ongoing “Project for the construction of bicycle paths in the municipality of Ugento” and the proposal contained in the “Plan for the Ugento Litoral Regional Natural Park “. The plan elaboration was structured in two phases: The first phase, called “Cognitive framework and guidelines”, contains the analysis of the current state of cycling mobility in Ugento. It analyses the supply and demand of cycling routes and related services, as well as the social and environmental impacts. This document also contains the regulatory, planning and programming framework. The second phase, called “Drafting the Plan Document”, contains the definition of the objectives and strategies, as well as the description of the method used to identify priorities for action. The document presents the design of the cycle network, identifies services dedicated to cycling, and communication activities to encourage cycling. Finally, the document is completed by the investment cost estimation and the definition of the indicators for monitoring the planned actions. The Plan was adopted by the Municipal Council on 26.01.2023 and received the declaration of non-subjection to the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) on 21.04.2023 by the competent Authority. On 05.07.2023, it was approved by the Municipal Council.

Access, circulation and parking in Maggiore Policlinico Hospital
Evaluation of internal traffic access and parking in the areas of the major polyclinic hospital This study addresses issues related to the reorganisation and management of vehicles parking within the areas of the Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico in the city centre of Milan. The area, currently occupied by construction sites for the new buildings, is characterised by very limited parking spaces and it is affected by frequent phenomena of irregular parking that affect its proper and safe use for the various functions, particularly those related to emergencies. The study analyses in detail the current demand for mobility through: the administration of a questionnaire to employees concerning individual travel, analysis of vehicles and bicycle/pedestrian input/output flows from the area and an in-situ analysis campaign of the supply and demand for parking. Based on the solid reconstruction of the current state, innovative solutions were proposed with regard to parking management, through the implementation of an innovative access control and parking management system. This system is characterised by a high technological content based on the control of both access (through a number plate reading system) and individual parking spaces (through the installation of special sensors on the ground). The new system will be able to control both access and parking vehicles, allowing the automatic detection of any abuses in terms of access and parking.

Modelling cities’ pathways to zero-emission urban mobility
Modelling European cities’ pathways to zero-emission urban mobility by 2030 through the development of potential transition scenarios This study modelled European cities’ pathways to zero-emission urban mobility by 2030 through the development of potential transition scenarios. Each scenario is built on different set of sustainable policy measures, whose impacts is quantified through a series of indicators as output results. The assessment is realized through MOMOS a quantitative tool which allows to simulate and quantify in a simplified way the impacts of potential mobility transition scenarios in cities. Four potential scenarios, each one with a different focus and a specific combination of policy measures, have been simulated and applied to five real European cities: Brussels, Madrid, Milan, Greater Manchester, and Warsaw. An in-depth data collection defined and reproduced the city characteristics at the base year, including socio-demographic aspects as well as mobility features. The main output of the study consisted in the calculation of the CO2 emissions reduction associated to each scenario. Besides that, a series of core indicators have also been calculated for the 2030 horizon. These included: modal split, public and private fleet electrification, car ownership, road safety, and air pollutants emissions. In addition, multi-criteria cost effectiveness analysis estimated costs and benefits associated to the four transition scenarios. Such analysis was based on four components: (implementation and maintenance) costs of the policy measures, environmental benefits, users’ transport costs and travel time, and revenues for the public administration and service providers.

Municipality of Parma, Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan
Update of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) of Parma (Italy) The Municipality of Parma has entrusted TRT Trasporti e Territorio with the update of the current Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) of the city, which has been in effect since March 2017 and was also drafted by TRT. The update of the SUMP is significant because: it references the EU guidelines developed within the Eltis project (latest version from 2019), as well as the Minister of Transport’s DM 397/2017 and 396/2019 «Guidelines for Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans», which were not yet issued at the time of the current SUMP; it follows the preparation of the «First Monitoring of the SUMP» (prepared by TRT and approved by the City Council in 2021), which assessed the ongoing achievement of objectives and targets set in the current SUMP; it takes place after the pandemic period (Covid-19), during and after which there have been significant changes in the mobility demand characteristics; moreover, important amendments have been introduced in the Road Code; it must be consistent and support the EU mission «100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030», to which the city of Parma has been admitted as one of the nine in Italy, with the goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2030. The activity will unfold in the following methodological steps: background analysis of the framework regarding the Parma’s mobility system and its impacts; analysis, processing, and synthesis of numerical information regarding mobility demand; evaluation of the current scenario (diagnostic framework) through a SWOT analysis; identification of strategies and alternative scenarios for the SUMP, as well as their detailed design; development of a participatory process to extend the sharing and acceptability of measures promoted by the future SUMP; evaluation of scenarios through the application of a multimodal transportation model (VISUM); estimation of investment and management costs for the Plan interventions, and finally design of monitoring activities. Regarding the participation activities, these will accompany different phases of SUMP development, involving citizens and stakeholders through public and thematic meetings, as well as the administration of an online survey directed at the entire community. Related projects: TRT was commissioned in 2019 to coordinate the implementation and monitoring of Parma’s SUMP and was also responsible of the drafting of the General Urban Traffic Plan of the city of Parma. TRT was also responsible of the drafting of the previuos Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan.
