- 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.

- Air cargo in Italy – Survey to companies The Cluster Cargo Aereo represents the main stakeholder of the market of the air cargo in Italy (shippers, carriers, handlers), with 400 companies that occupy approximately 40.000 direct dependent. The function of the Cluster is to provide research, studies and statistics and to offer insights for the operators of the sector through the project «Osservatorio Cargo Aereo» born in 2018. After the first study, presented in 2019 and focused on transport supply (competitiveness of national and European airports), and the second study on air freight transport demand of 2020, the Cluster has commissioned to TRT a new study in order to better understand the perception of the air cargo service in Italy. Therefore, TRT has realized a survey to the main manufacturing companies, integrated by an in-depth survey to the shipment companies, whose results have been introduced during the 5th Convention of the Air Cargo Observatory, where there was an audience of 200 stakeholders and companies of the sector. The results made it possible to identify the determining factors for the modal choice, the degree of satisfaction of the Italian airport system, the main criticalities, the potentialities of development of the air cargo in Italy regarding to some trends of market and the strategies that can be put in field in order to favor the development of the belonging row.

- Design and assessment of the National E-Mobility Strategy in Jordan Electrification is one of the main options towards decarbonizing the transport sector. The Jordanian transport sector, currently reliant on fossil fuels, accounts for nearly 40% of the energy consumption in the country in 2020. Transport decarbonisation has to be addressed to achieve Jordan’s ambitious Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) goals. From electricity-sector perspective, uncontrolled electric vehicle (EV) uptake may bring challenges such as increase in peak load and distribution grid congestion, but also present financial and technical opportunities due to new revenue streams. Seeing the potential and benefits of E-Mobility uptake, the Government of Jordan has included Designing a National E-Mobility Strategy as part of its Reform Matrix, under Pillar 9 Energy. To this end, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) has been leading the effort in coordination with key stakeholders and implementing partners. The World Bank (WB), through the Jordan Growth Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF), supports MEMR and GoJ in its mandate with required Technical Assistance (TA) activities. This project will inform the WB’s policy dialogues in Jordan related to scaling up E-Mobility, in the context of the GoJ’s effort to design, launch, and implement a National E-Mobility Strategy. This study will have a particular focus on energy-sector issues (notably charging infrastructure and charging tariff), but also build upon past efforts, consolidate previous findings, systematically assess the key issues at stake, and provide valid and actionable options in order to support GoJ’s formulation of a comprehensive National E-Mobility Strategy. TRT, supported by MRC (Spain), is leading the project and is responsible for the design and assessment of the strategy. As part of its activities TRT has developed the Jordan vehicle fleet model to forecast the uptake of electric mobility.
- Scoping and Feasibility Study for a European Transport Market Study Client: RailNetEurope (RNE) RailNetEurope (in short, RNE), commissioned the consortium formed by TRT (lead) and HaCon a scoping and feasibility study for the development of a freight transport market study at the European level (European Transport Market Study, or ETMS). The need to investigate the technical characteristics, and the potential use cases of such a study stems from the scarce diffusion and lack of application of the Transport Market Studies made by individual European Rail Freight Corridors (RFCs) in the past. A European-level study would overcome the drawbacks identified with previous studies and would concretely support the necessity of optimising and coordinating efforts aimed at increasing the modal share of rail freight transport, in line with EU policy targets. The research process underlying the feasibility study was first grounded on a thorough analysis of existing RFCs’ Transport Market Studies, aimed at identifying the respective contents and structure, as well as the data sources and databases employed; further, the employment of EU-scale models was assessed with respect to the purposes of simulation and forecasting, and a wide stakeholder consultation strategy was activated, bringing i.a. infrastructure managers, railway undertakings, associations, port terminals, and members of the Rail Freight Corridors to the table. The project delivered a feasibility study with an accurate assessment of the actual possibility of making a Transport Market Study at the European scale, based on both the availability of necessary data and analytical tools, as well as the need to adequately and efficiently respond to the requests brought up by stakeholders. Specifically, several options for realising the study have been evaluated, accompanied by the definition of required analytical tools and methodologies. Based on the best solution, the main components of the actual study have been set, and guidelines for its realization have been redacted.

- Feasibility study of the ‘Shuttle’ service within the Cesano Boscone municipal area TRT was commissioned by the Municipality of Cesano Boscone to analyse the feasibility of implementing a public transport service within its territory. The study is focused on the definition of possible alternatives that are functional to the local context. To this end, TRT reconstructed the territorial cognitive framework, identifying the current road classification, the demographic evolution of the target population groups (over 65 and under 14) and its territorial distribution. Similarly, poles of attraction within the municipal territory were identified, both in terms of services to the population and commercial areas. The cognitive framework is concluded by the analysis of current LPT services, identifying the lines and routes and their timetables, and by the analysis of the overall travel demand described by the origin-destination matrix of the Lombardy Region. Following the analysis of the municipal local public transport service decommissioned in 2011, TRT proposed two general functional solutions and the relative management models, declining them on the basis of some important realisations already active at a European and national level. TRT proposed the implementation of a timetable-based car line to cover the deficiencies identified for the service already in operation along a route connecting the Tessera locality with the centre of Cesano Boscone. The second alternative consists of a flexible service upon request. TRT has presented the administration with several alternatives based on a number of active case studies. TRT will complete the work by defining the preliminary economic framework including a description of how the service will be entrusted, following an integration of the cognitive framework that the municipality wished to complete by distributing a questionnaire to the population.

- Consultancy assignment for specialist transport engineering activities related to the “Pre-feasibility study for a regional railway network in Sardinia” on behalf of Uniontrasporti TRT collaborated with GVG Engineering on an in-depth study on the current railway network in Sardinia, defining its characteristics and potential, for a study requested by Uniontrasporti. TRT analyzed the current railway network in terms of extension and technical characteristics of both the Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI, main Italian railway infrastructure manager) and secondary narrow-gauge (ARST) networks; the analysis of services offered; the analysis of production nodes and tourist demand; the definition of the needs of the local population to favor the accessibility of inner areas and support regional economic development; the definition of requirements; and the identification of modal interchange points between passenger services. This was accompanied by an analysis of the interventions planned on networks according to the Economy and Finance Document 2022 (“Documento Economia e Finanza” of Italian government), the Framework Agreement between the Region of Sardinia and RFI, the RFI 2022 Business Plan, regional planning instruments, and the three-year plan of works of ARST. The services description was based on an analysis of the timetables published on institutional websites of individual organizations. The analysis focused also on tourist services, such as the Green Train (“Trenino Verde”, a touristic service on dismissed rail lines), and urban services, above all MetroCagliari and MetroSassari. This analysis led to the identification of interchange nodes, which were described in terms of the services present. The demand analysis completes the definition of the knowledge framework, identifying the main municipalities in terms of population and employees, tourist demand over the years and identifying the most attractive municipalities. Eventually, the definition of needs analyses the information gathered during several meetings held with local stakeholders, trying to define the priorities of the territory. The study is completed by the description of possible project interventions, constraints and criticalities of the network, which TRT supported in defining.
