Rail Freight Corridor Rhine-Alpine market study
Transport Market Study: Quantification of modal shift potential on the Rail Freight Corridor Rhine-Alpine The study, coordinated by TRT and involving relevant partners across Europe, aimed to quantify the potential modal shift to rail thanks to the improvement in transport performance on the Rail Freight Corridor Rhine-Alpine. More specifically, the objective of the study was to investigate the possibility to introduce: heavier and longer trains, faster trains (less stops), more reliable trains. The work was structured by three consecutive activities: analysis of the freight transport demand, quantification of the cost savings in relation to heavier, faster and more reliable trains, quantification of modal shift potential.

Transalpine Observatory, Data collection and analysis of freight flows
Transalpine Observatory – Data collection and analysis of freight flows across the Alps The objective of the Observatory is to collect and make available the information for the EU-CH Terrestrial Transport Committee implementing and managing the Agreement on Terrestrial Transport between the European Union and Switzerland on 21 June 1999. As a part of the Consortium, TRT has collected, verified and analysed data on road, rail and combined transport activities through the Alps for Italian side. The types of collected data involved information on traffic, infrastructure, vehicles, transported goods, market operators, costs and environmental impacts. All data have been compared for the period 2020-2023 regarding the borders with France, Switzerland and Austria. One of the main interest of the project has been the evaluation in time of the modal split across the Alps useful for the reduction of transport’s environmental impact. TRT has also worked on designing and updating the cost model on road and combined transport, Unaccompanied (UCT) Accompanied (ACT) and Motorway Of the Sea (MoS), adoptable also for other spatial contests.
Adriatic Gateway Project
Adriatic Gateway – Development of the Northern Adriatic port cluster The main objective of the project was to develop the Adriatic Gateway integrating the Northern Adriatic Port Cluster in order to meet the upcoming requirements for the fundamental role that the Adriatic Corridor should play in the European transportation network. The project was structured in three phases: traffic and market studies providing an overall picture of present and future transport demand and supply in Europe, definition of a model of excellence for a multi-port gateway. The Adriatic Gateway Model, intended as a multi-port, designing whether and how the pre-identified “excellent” models can be applied to the specific case of the AG and more generally the Mediterranean Area.
TRACECA IDEA Project I
TRACECA IDEA I – Transport dialogue and interoperability between the EU and its neighbouring countries and central Asian countries Funded by the Directorate General for Cooperation and Development of the European Commission within the framework of the TRACECA Programme (TRAnsport Corridor Europe Caucasus Asia), the IDEA project aimed at improving the functioning of the transport corridor connecting Europe with Central Asia. The beneficiary countries of the TRACECA programme are Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, with Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey as observatory countries. The project activities included the construction of the regional transport model, the deployment of a capacity building program for the national officers on themes like project planning and assessment, the definition of indicators to measure the corridor attractiveness and the organization of two international conference where the countries representatives presented their transport project along the corridors to banks and international financial institutions. The consortium led by TRT was composed of PTV, Dornier Consulting and Alfen.
Mobility data in European countries
Mobility data in European countries As part of a study aimed at modelling the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in Europe, Nissan Technical Centre Europe charged TRT to carry out two studies. The first study was aimed at elaborating a set of statistical indicators to describe commuting car trips with destination in a selected number of European cities. The indicators was developed for all cities with a population of more than 250,000 inhabitants in seven different countries: France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain and UK. The objective of the second study was to identify the location of fast recharge facilities available in the same seven countries mentioned above and also to provide typical traffic daily profiles on the road network of these countries.
Shanghai, Jinshan Marina urban planning
Shanghai Jinshan Marina Urban Planning (China) Following the winning of the international context by GALA engineering, TRT was selected to carry out the design of road transport network and the Public transport system in the marina of Jinshan New Town, located south of Shanghai. The project integrates two innovative solutions: multimodal transport system with bus, rail and innovative systems dedicated transport system for the cruise port planned to accommodate thousands of tourists daily Area: 2.6 million of square metres Definition of parking areas according to a wide range of functionalities serving more than 150 000 users. Definition of parking pubs to accommodate seasonal touristic flows leaving form the new cruise port Definition of cycling and pedestrian paths to connect the new seaside and the green areas
EU combined transport
Gathering additional data on EU combined transport This study, committed by DG MOVE to TRT and MDS, presents a detailed analysis of combined transport (CT) operations in the European Union (EU) and provides quantitative and qualitative evidence of the current status of the European CT sector. By updating the information with respect to the 2015 fact-finding study (entitled “Analysis of the EU Combined Transport”) the study was designed to help DG MOVE to identify measures that would be effective in supporting the CT sector. The analysis was supported by a survey, which allowed the consultants to collect primary data on CT operations for the reference year of 2015 from a full cross-section of EU Member States for different modal combinations and industry sectors. For each combination of modes, detailed data on the volumes of transhipments and the main costs involved in CT operations are analysed and discussed both at a European and a Member State (MS) level and further analysed through a series of statistics and indicators. The study also examines the current use of regulatory support measures introduced by Directive 92/106/EEC; these measures address issues such as own-account transport and road haulage cabotage. By offering a number of indicators on CT operations and insights into the related legislative framework, the study represented a key information source for the completion of the European Commission’s Impact Assessment of the amendment to Directive 92/106/EEC.
CAPTAIN project
Technical assistance to the CAPTAIN project – Adriatic IPA CBC 2007-2013 TRT has been selected by RAM (Rete Autostrade Mediterranee) an in house company of the Italian ‘Ministero delle Infrastrutture e Trasporti’ to provide technical assistance to the CAPTAIN project of the Adriatic IPA 2007-2013 programme. The project developed in 2016 involved 10 partners (institutions, research centers and port authorities). CAPTAIN project aims to collect and share the results Adriatic MoS, EA-Sea-Way, Adrimob projects, already financed by the IPA Adriatic Programme 2007-2013, with particular attention to the resolution of bottlenecks and the missing links for good transport in the partner countries (Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia). The technical assistance activities concerned: the follow up of the feasibility study of the Adriatic MoS project; the coordination of EA Sea-Way and Adrimob feasibility studies; the dissemination of good practices and technical coordination activities during meetings and workshops.
Surveys on the freight international transport
Statistical sample survey on the international freight transport 2016-2019 TRT has been commissioned by the Banca d’Italia (Italian Central Bank) to carry out a four-year survey on the international freight transport, in order to: identify the unit costs of different transport modes for imports and exports; identify the components of ancillary costs; show in a matrix the abroad goods exchange; define the market share held by Italian actors in the maritime, air and rail transport sectors; estimate the turnover made by Italian ship-owners abroad. This project follows similar surveys managed by TRT since 1998, whose results are used by Banca d’Italia to estimate the Balance of Payments for the corresponding years.
