- Support for studies and research on demand and supply of taxi services in the Lombardy airports area The study consists of an analysis of the demand and supply of taxi services in the Lombardy Airport Basin. The overall objective of the study is to contribute to the definition of the appropriate level of taxi service in the Basin and the consequent determination of the number of licences required to provide this service. The study consists of several activities.The first activity is a sector study aimed at reconstructing elements regarding the supply context (mainly the regulatory framework) and potential demand for mobility in relation to taxi services. The second, and main, activity is a sample survey of Stated Preference to analyse the importance of several variables inherent to the taxi service and competition with alternative modes. The survey is conducted by means of a web-based questionnaire (CAWI) on a sample of 850 residents in Lombardy and 250 residents in other regions. For each respondent, the questionnaire includes some introductory questions and two different Stated Preferences exercises. The third activity is a fieldwork analysis of the interaction between demand and supply of services at a sample of taxi parking areas. The purpose of the survey, repeated annually for the three years of the study, is to analyse the main dynamics related to car parking times, customer waiting times, average number of customers per ride and other elements. The fourth activity consists of setting up a monitoring system for the taxi service. This includes the definition of a list of indicators and procedures for their quantification (data collection and processing) TRT develops all the activities of the study, except for the operational execution of the surveys, which is taken care of by companies identified directly by Polis. However, TRT takes care of the definition of the survey instruments (questionnaire) and the sample.
- Trade and Transport Facilitation Study on the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Highway Development Project The core of the study, committed to TRT and IdeaConsult, is the analysis of the current process of border crossing by both passengers and freight within Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria. This analysis aims to identify any bottlenecks, whether they are legal, regulatory, or related to physical infrastructure, that complicate the crossing. The study then will propose measures at both national and regional levels that would significantly improve the current crossing systems in terms of both time and cost for passengers and goods crossing one or more borders along the corridor. TRT team will provide its expertise for tasks related to ICT, logistics, and transportation, through the involvement of selected key experts. The work includes organising on-site meetings, collecting data for the reconstruction of the state of the art in the fields of ICT, logistics, and transportation in the corridor and in the countries concerned. TRT team is responsible for drafting reports on ICT, logistics, and transportation themes and for presenting the results and content of the reports.
- Study on short-sea shipping’s contribution to the European transport network and the means to support and revitalise the sector A consortium led by Ecorys and consisting of TRT and CERTH-HIT has been appointed by the EC DG MOVE to conduct a study on short-sea shipping’s (SSS) contribution to the European transport network and the means to support and revitalise the sector. The SSS is seen as one of the transport modes that can contribute to achieving the goals as laid down in the European Green Deal, such as cut EU’s GHG emissions by at least 55% in 2030 and to become climate neutral in 2050. The study aims at assessing the contribution of SSS to the EU’s transport network and identifying the potential and challenges affecting its growth in the EU. Three main objectives are defined to achieve the aforementioned aim: to analyse the state of play of EU shipping and SSS, assessing the current role that SSS plays in the European transport network; to provide an analysis of the projected evolution of SSS in the EU at a regional, national and local level, and to analyse the main factors affecting the development and evolution of SSS in the EU; to develop and propose, in conjunction with the relevant stakeholders, policy recommendations and directions based on the results of the analysis carried out, identifying the means to support and revitalise the sector. The objectives will be achieved through sequential performing of four main tasks: desk research (task A), stakeholder consultations (task B), policy recommendations (task C) and dissemination (task D). Tasks A and B represent backward- and forward-looking exercises respectively aimed at understanding the historical development of the SSS sector and its evolution in the future. Concrete policy recommendations will be created through case study analysis and roundtable. These 3 tasks are developed in a way to address 33 information needs according to the terms of reference. The study will finish with dissemination exercise. The study activities will be performed analysing the sector from different dimensions: 1. Market, 2. Multi-modality, 3. Business, 4. Fleet, 5. Policy, funding and financing and 6. Neighbouring and third countries. TRT will lead the desk research phase and is responsible for dimensions 1. Market and 6. Neighbouring and third countries.
- Traffic models to support mobility analysis and the Grugliasco General Urban Traffic Plan Zona Ovest di Torino is a company whose goal is to carry out activities aimed at the social and economic development of the western area of Turin, through the realisation of services, projects and public financing initiatives with a wide area approach. Entrusted with the task of drafting the General Urban Traffic Plan of Grugliasco, Zona Ovest di Torino has chosen TRT for the development of the modelling tool necessary for the evaluation of the urban transformations underway and the Plan scenarios. The model will be developed in an open source environment using the SUMO software, exploiting its ductility and broad calculation capacity by extending the coverage of the study area to all the city’s road axes. This approach is innovative both from the point of view of the software used and the scale of the model with microscopic characteristics, usually applied to smaller areas. The model thus configured will be used to evaluate the different plan scenarios that will be envisaged by the General Urban Traffic Plan, in order to compare them and allow an overall assessment of the impact of the simulated measures.In preparation for the micro-simulation model, a second macro-scale model has been developed, on a municipal scale, covering the city’s main road axes.
- Pre-feasibility study for the establishment of a Vertiport in the Municipality of Piacenza The pre-feasibility study for the establishment of a vertiport in Piacenza is pioneering in the context of Urban Air Mobility themes and has been structured around three main lines of activity: market analysis, demand analysis (potential), and location hypotheses. The market analysis and its prospects involved an in-depth examination of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, their temporal outlook, and the technological barriers associated with such technologies. An overview of the global and national market was provided, and insights were developed regarding the ground infrastructure enabling these new services – Vertiports – as well as potential services, taking into account industry regulations. Furthermore, a detailed analysis was conducted on both global and Italian cases of experimental vertiport implementations, examining the regulatory framework in the sector. The analysis of potential demand was conducted using big data, derived from mobile network cells, and focused on exchange flows with possible attractor centres within a radius of approximately 150 km from Piacenza. These attractor centres included the city of Milan and the airports of Milan (Maplensa and Linate), Bergamo, Bologna and Turin. The potential locations for the vertiport within the territory of the Municipality of Piacenza were examined, taking into account the necessary infrastructure elements and European guidelines provided by EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency). The selection criteria favoured pre-existing, accessible areas. Finally, the estimate of the minimum required square footage and associated costs have been prepared.
- Contribution to the EU Urban Mobility Observatory, ex-ELTIS, facilitating the exchange of information, knowledge and experience in the field of sustainable urban mobility The EU Urban Mobility Observatory, previously known as ELTIS, was created more than 25 years ago, and it is now Europe’s main source of information on urban mobility. The Observatory, financed by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Mobility and Transport, facilitates the exchange of information, knowledge and experience in the field of sustainable urban mobility. It addresses individuals working in transport as well as in related disciplines, including urban and regional development, health, energy and environmental sciences. TRT collaborates with the EU Urban Mobility Observatory since 2017. The current contract, covering years 2024 and 2025, foresees for TRT to carry on the following activities: collection of regular updates and lessons learned from existing EU- funded urban mobility projects covering several EU funding programmes and initiatives with the objective to pinpoint valuable contributions and enhanced insights to enrich the EU Urban Mobility Observatory. Special emphasis is placed on key topics of interest within the thematic domains of all six EGUM sub-groups. Update and further develop the portal, developing new contents such as news in the field of urban mobility and case studies across Europe Provide administrative support to the EGUM sub-groups, particularly on “Urban Vehicle Access Regulations (UVARs)” and “Active Mobility and safety of vulnerable road users” Support on the follow-up on the Commission Recommendation on national SUMP support programmes Support on updating the SUMP Guidelines and quality review of SUMP reference materials For more information: Previous contact ELTIS + SUMI – 2022 – 2023 Previous contract ELTIS – 2017 – 2021
- Mapping study on digital and technical solutions to enable more effective and user-friendly UVARs, while respecting the principle of subsidiarity The broad objective of the study is to support the operation of more efficient, user-friendly and non-discriminatory UVARs across the European Union for both vehicle users, operators and city authorities. For vehicle users (private and commercial) the specific objective is to improve the ease and efficiency of UVAR pre-registration procedures while, for authorities, to ease the conformity checks of vehicles. This study will seek to achieve the abovementioned objectives by identifying and mapping EU interoperable technical and digital solutions (or combinations thereof), as well as respective realistic and feasible implementation options, that facilitate seamless travel across the EU. This further “mapping study” builds on UVAR Exchange results and is structured in 4 Tasks. Task 1 starts with the identification, mapping, analysis and further clarification of interoperable digital and technical solutions or their combinations thereof, including an analysis of what it takes to implement them on the ground. Task 2 will provide an overview of the identified technology combinations with its specific pros and cons, constraints and challenges, including the notions of user-friendliness and non-discriminatory aspects. It will investigate and suggest EU-wide interoperability standards needed for UVAR compliance and enforcement technologies and digital solutions Task 3 will build from the previous and draft a roadmap of actions. Task 4 is a transversal task that will concentrate all stakeholder engagement and consultation activities TRT leads Task 3 activities and is responsible for investigating digital tachograph and camera-based solutions including data exchange and enforcement practices and IT systems in use in Italy. Besides TRT, the awarded consortium is composed of Panteia (NL), MAPtm (NL) and Austriatech (AT). The study follows the previous European Parliament Preparatory Action, contracted by DG MOVE, for an “User-friendly information tool on urban and regional vehicle access regulation schemes” that generated the projects UVAR Box and UVAR Exchange (https://uvarbox.eu/) with TRT as partner of the two consortia.
- 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.
