  • Feasibility study and preliminary design of the railway network of the Northern Tyrrhenian sea port system TRT, with Vega Engineering, was in charge of the feasibility project for the development of railway network of the ports of Livorno and Piombino. The objective of the work is to quantify the transport demand observed in the past, with reference to the movement of goods and passengers and, at the same time, to estimate the future freight flows, also using the transport simulation model –TRUST, developed by TRTv that works at European scale. The project proposals envisage the improvement of the capacity of the existing terminals and their progressive adaptation to international standards. On the basis of the proposed project alternatives, a specific study was made of the railway capacity of the system in terms of the number of trains that can be operated by the two ports, verifying that the long-term demand forecasts can be met by the planned planning schemes, while also maintaining residual capacity . The transport performance of the railway system, together with the design characteristics (costs, construction times, etc.), constitute the database that has allowed the development of a Multicriteria Analysis that has compared the different design alternatives. A Cost Benefit Analysis was conducted, to assess the advantages and disadvantages of the project for the community.  
  • Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan and Urban Plan for Cycling Mobility of the Metropolitan City of Naples The Metropolitan City of Naples has commissioned the temporary grouping of companies consisting of TRT Ingegneria (agent), Sintagma (Principal) and TPS Pro (agent) to draft the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMP) and the related “Biciplan” (Urban Plan for Cycling Mobility). The SUMP is draft in accordance with the guidelines issued by the former MIT today MIMS. Launched in September 2021, the drafting of the SUMP involves several phases: Definition of the “territorial knowledge framework”; Definition of Plan targets and objectives; Definition of policies, strategies and actions; Construction of scenarios and definition of the Plan Proposal; VAS and VIA (strategic and impact – environmental assessments).   Along the drafting, the participatory process plays a fundamental role in all the activities underpinning the SUMP according to its own Participation and Communication Plan. TRT contribution in the SUMP drafting includes – in addition to participation along the entire process of the Plan elaboration – the drafting of the Biciplan and two thematic studies: freight transport and urban logistics and transport of people with reduced mobility. The Urban Plan of Cycling Mobility (Biciplan) promotes the use of bicycles as a mode of transport for daily, touristic and recreational activities, improving the safety of cyclists. The Biciplan identifies the strategic metropolitan network with itineraries that connect, in synergy with public transport, the urban centres as well as main attraction and intermodal poles.   Sustainable urban freight transport and logistics address the rationalization of freight transport on a metropolitan scale cutting negative impacts and externalities linked with the distribution and the transportation of goods in urban areas. Transport of people with reduced mobility analyses measures to ensure maximum accessibility, autonomy and ease of travel through universally accessible means by removing architectural and virtual barriers. The fundamental objective is the definition of coordinated actions concerning the structure of services, accessibility to transport infrastructures (railway and underground service stations, interchange parking lots, ports, airports, etc.) and the increased participation of people with reduced mobility to public spaces.   For more information (only available in italian) Documenti consultabili sul sito del PUMS di Città Metropolitana di Napoli   News (only available in italian) Napoli: Borrelli incontra progettisti del PUMS.

  • Effects of pricing policies on the Superstrada Pedemontana Veneta – Surveys, analysis and proposals The study evaluated the effects of different toll schemes on Superstrada Pedemontana Veneta traffic forecasts using the PTV Visum traffic assignment software package. The toll schemes were designed combining different combinations of toll levels, modulated according to both vehicle type and geographical area of origin for passenger and freight traffic. The alternative toll schemes were designed also taking into account the outcome of a series of interviews aimed at identifying the demand for commercial vehicles that could potentially be attracted to the new road infrastructure. The survey directly involved both local and international companies, logistics operators, sector and trade associations that would be potentially interested in using the motorway infrastructure. The survey questionnaire was aimed at understanding the respondents’  needs and requirements as well as their point of view in terms of advantages and disadvantages of using the infrastructure considering time, costs, quality of services and parking areas availability.    
  • Design competition for the new business centre of the Sicilian Region In 2019, the Regional Sicilian Government launched a public contest for the design of its new headquarter with the idea of centralizing its different administrative functions and investee companies that are currently distributed in different locations throughout the city. The aim of the intervention is to create a hub that would reduce functional difficulties and ensure greater efficiency in the services provided to citizens and municipal administrations. This would also help cutting unnecessary trips and considerably reduce impacts in traffic and pollution. TRT Ingegneria participated to the contest with the role of mobility expert, together with a wider consortium composed by MJW Structures (Italy), MATE Engineering (Italy) and led by Xaveer De Geyter Architects (Belgium). TRT Ingegneria had the role of organising the public and private mobility system by defining the circulation scheme, the parking system, and the intramodality with the “Ugo La Malfa” railway station of the Palermo bypass. The proposal ranked among the top five over 30 participants during the first phase of the public contest, thus gaining access to the second phase of the competition.
