  • Southern Italy – China logistics
    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.

  • Cornaredo (Lugano) Masterplan
    NQC Masterplan – New Cornaredo District After an international competition (first place), TRT was commissioned to design the mobility aspects of the new Cornaredo district entrance in Lugano (Switzerland) and evaluate the road traffic generated by the planned land use. The project was composed of 3 main phases: The contest (won) (2005); The Master Plan (2006); The Town Planning Scheme (2007). During the various stages, TRT activities concerned: the definition and functional assessment of connection between local and the main urban road system; the definition functional assessment of local road system for district’s traffic distribution. Definition of cycling and pedestrian paths to connect the new district and the green areas; Definition, measuring and management of parking lots and  parking facilities at the end-station of public transports (Park&Ride); The translation of planning choices in regulations  in the Traffic Plan, by means of a Mobility Index, i.e. the maximum number of peak hour trips allowable per unit of building area.
  • Milan Rail Node
    Economic analysis of investments in rail nodes – The case study of the node of Milan The study was commissioned to develop and apply a simplified methodology for the economic analysis of  major rail infrastructure projects, when to improving rail nodes. The methodology conceived focussed on the trade off between investment cost savings of network capacity and social costs generated by the road traffic diverted due to the missing capacity (in terms of congestion and environmental effects). The methodology and evaluation procedures were tested to appraise several scenarios of interventions, within the rail node of Milan and including the adjacent regional rail network.
