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.

Study to estimate electric vehicle load profiles for selected EU countries based on travel survey data This study was aimed at building a database of grid load profiles for electric vehicles in six European countries – France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, UK – based on car driving patterns. Data on car driving patterns was collected by means of a sample survey involving 600 individuals in each country. Each participant filled in a on-line (CAWI) car driving diary for a period of seven days. The database allows to estimate individual charging profiles and then daily (24 hours) load profiles under assumptions on the share of electric vehicles in the fleet and on their technical features.

Logistics Between Southern Italy and China The Ministry of Economic Development – Department for Development Policies has commissioned a study to TRT to: identify market factors that may promote the Southern Italy as a logistics platform for the traffic generated from the Italian, European and Mediterranean market to the Far East. The aim of the study was to identify and prioritise investments and measures to boost the international exchanges of goods and the demand for logistics in the South of Italy. Two were the main objectives of the study: to point out the key factors which could support the development of Southern Italy as logistics platform for the exchanges with East Asia; to show the economics and territorial advantages coming from the logistics growth, in particular for the employment and the productivity. The analysis undertaken highlighted the economic benefits arising from the development of the territory logistics, with special reference to employment and productivity. The priority systems on which to focus were three. Gioia Tauro transhipment port, that offers great potential to local economy; Campania logistics system, with Salerno and Napoli ports and the logistics platforms of Nola and Marcianise; Taranto port, with the significant development recorded thanks to big shipping lines. The projects reviewed included the enlargement of the terminal container and the building up of an inland logistics platform.
