- Technical Assistance for Development of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans for five Municipalities and providing training on developing and implementation of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans North Macedonia faces significant challenges in managing its extensive local road network, which spans approximately 9,000 kilometers and falls under the jurisdiction of decentralized municipalities. Many of these municipalities lack the capacity and resources necessary for effective infrastructure maintenance, resulting in deteriorating road conditions that limit access to essential services and opportunities, ultimately affecting citizens’ quality of life. Developing a well-structured Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) is crucial to addressing these challenges and achieving the aforementioned objectives. The primary objective of this project, financed by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development – World Bank, is to develop the SUMPs for the municipalities of Kavadarci, Kochani, Struga, Strumica, and Prilep by enhancing accessibility, promoting health and safety, supporting economic growth, and mitigating environmental impacts. This will be achieved through the promotion of sustainable transport modes, and the adoption of low-carbon initiatives aimed at reducing emissions and optimizing traffic flow. The SUMP development process aligns with European guidelines and is divided into two macro-activities:
- Technical secretariat of the coordination platform to support Member States in implementing requirements for urban nodes in the revised TEN-T Regulation The European Commission’s Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy outlines a roadmap for achieving a sustainable, smart, and resilient transport system, with cities playing a central role in this transition. By 2030, all cities are expected to develop Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) to drive this transformation. The New Urban Mobility Framework further emphasizes the importance of integrating cities and regions into the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) by improving first and last-mile connections for both passengers and freight. Ensuring better coordination among local authorities is key to achieving this goal. To support these efforts, the revised TEN-T Regulation designates 432 urban nodes and establishes key requirements to be met by 31 December 2027. These include: To facilitate the implementation of these requirements, a coordination platform is being established. This platform serves as the main forum for exchange and collaboration among EU Member States, supporting the rollout of SUMPs and urban mobility indicators (UMI). By fostering knowledge-sharing and cross-border cooperation, it aims to ensure a consistent and high-quality approach to urban mobility across Europe. The platform’s technical secretariat is coordinated by PwC, with TIS, TRT, and ICLEI integrating the consortium. TRT leads Task 2, a pivotal component of the project that focuses on providing expert advice for implementing the urban node requirements. Key responsibilities include:
- The Djibouti authorities have appointed the consortium led by IDEA Consult to develop a long-term vision for urban mobility and an action plan for the short, medium and long term, taking into account climate change and its impact on transport networks. The aim of the project is to address the problems of the capital’s transport system, which are undermining its functionality. The study will be carried out in three phases An initial diagnostic phase of the urban transport system, which includes analysing demand, surveying the current state of the road infrastructure and constructing a macro and micro model. A second phase consisting of two main activities: a short-term priority investment programme providing rapid responses to problems, and the development of a shared long-term strategic vision for the urban transport system. Finally, a third phase will be the definition of the master plan for the urban road system. Within the consortium TRT will be responsible for:
- Drafting of the new Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan and updating of the General Urban Traffic Plan for the city of Udine After a tender process, TRTIngegneria, in partnership with ISFORT Istituto Superiore di Formazione e Ricerca per i Trasporti, Ambiente Italia and GVG Engineering, was selected by the Municipality of Udine to draft the city’s first Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) and update its General Urban Traffic Plan (PGTU). With regard to the PUMS, the working group’s activities are structured according to the following methodological steps, in line with the 2019 guidelines of the Ministry of Transport and the new Regulation (EU) 2024/1679 (the city of Udine is a TEN-T urban node): All phases are accompanied by a broad and structured communication and participation campaign, which involves citizens and stakeholders through public meetings, technical round tables, focus groups and online questionnaires. The PGTU is developed on the basis of the objectives and measures defined in the short-term scenario of the PUMS, detailing the characteristics and feasibility of the individual actions. During the drafting of the PGTU, a series of urban traffic nodes are subject to detailed assessment through the application of a micro-dynamic simulation model (VISSIM) integrated with the multimodal model developed for the PUMS.
- Port of Livorno and Interporto Vespucci – Development and interaction between the Rail Plan and Darsena Europa The study, developed on behalf of Vega Engineering for the AdSP of the Northern Tyrrhenian Sea, was aimed at the functional analysis of the port – freight village system in the Livorno area to assess its potential and opportunities following the realisation and full implementation of the Piano del Ferro and the Darsena Europa. To this end, a cognitive framework was defined on the characteristics of supply and demand, current and future, of the port-freight village system and the definition of the functional evolution of the system in relation to the realisation of the planned infrastructural interventions around it. To support the definition of the port and freight village system, an analysis of the main Italian freight villages was also carried out in order to identify their characteristics, good practices and strong points to be transferred, if necessary, to the specific context of Livorno. Following the definition of the evolutionary scenarios, the infrastructural potential of the intermodal terminal was verified, and the future prospects of the entire port-freight village system were assessed, integrating this activity with the support of a simplified economic-financial analysis for the various evolutionary scenarios.
- Feasibility project of the mass transport system for the connection between the area of the railway station located in Latina Scalo and the city centre TRTingegneria as member of the consortium formed by Tecnosistem (leader) and One Works (partner), has been commissioned to draft the Technical and Economic Feasibility Project – PFTE – for the public transport connection between the railway station (located in Latina Scalo) and the city center of Latina. Within the project, TRTIngegneria is responsible for the preparation of the cost-benefit analysis and risk analyses. The Cost-Benefit Analysis evaluates, by comparison, different alternatives of the public transport lines’ routes through the calculation of their main economic indicators (Economic Net Present Value – ENPV and Economic Internal Rate of Return – EIRR). The basic approach of every evaluation is the comparison of different alternative scenarios against the reference scenario of no project implementation. The analysis is conducted considering the MIT Guidelines for the evaluation of investments in public works (2017) and the recent Addendums for the submission of applications for access to resources designated for Rapid Mass Transport by Fixed Installations and for the evaluation of railway projects (2021). As required by the ministerial guidelines, the economic analysis is accompanied by the qualitative risk analysis and the quantitative risk analysis, that has been developed using the specialized software (@Risk). The @Risk software employs Monte Carlo simulation, a statistical technique that involves running multiple simulations using random variables to generate possible outcomes for a decision or event. The quantitative risk analysis is enhanced with sensitivity analysis, scenario analysis, and their optimization. For the main statistical variables (e.g., investment costs, operational costs, benefits, etc.), the software allows choosing from numerous distribution curves and generates numerical and graphic outputs with the calculation of P90 and/or P80 and P50 probabilities for the results of the analyses conducted.
- Technical assistance to assess the potential demand for a public transport system in the ceramic district area and connections to Modena The Transport Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility Sector – General Directorate for Territorial and Environmental Management of the Emilia-Romagna Region entrusted TRT Ingegneria with the “Technical assistance aimed at assessing the potential demand for a public transport system in the area of the ceramic district and connections with Modena”. The purpose of the study was to carry out an analysis of possible alternatives for the local public transport system along the corridor between Sassuolo and Vignola. In the first instance the study analysed the main characteristics of the area considering: current rail and road public transport offer, both in terms of routes and active services; travel demand based on available sources, both local and regional. In particular, reference was made to the Origin-Destination (OD) matrices estimated by PRIT2025, the PUMS of Modena and the Distretto Ceramico, as well as data on the demand transported by LPT services in the area; various sector planning documents currently in force, in order to better understand what is envisaged in the corridor under study. Starting from this knowledge base, the study identified five different alternatives for new public transport services between Sassuolo and Vignola for a subsequent preliminary assessment. The preliminary assessment cross-referenced demand data with supply data referring to the different systems (capacity, performance, costs, investment and management, etc.) and was complemented by a multi-criteria analysis that followed three main steps: definition of evaluation criteria and sub-criteria; estimation of the criteria weights through the involvement of local administrators and stakeholders by means of interviews; normalisation of the measurements to ensure comparability.
- Urban reorganization and landscape requalification sheet – Logistic hub in Isola della Scala The Municipality of Isola della Scala, affected by the provisions of the «Quadrante Europa Area Plan» (PAQE), which include – among others – the development of a logistics hub on its territory, has entrusted TRT Ingegneria with the service of drafting a Masterplan called «Urban reorganization and landscape requalification sheet». The focal point of the logistics hub is the provision for an intermodal centre, an infrastructure specialized in rail-to-rail and rail-to-road exchange functions located along the Verona-Bologna railway line (on the Brenner route and part of the TEN-T «Scandinavian-Mediterranean» corridor). Methodologically, the drafting process of the Masterplan is structured into the following macro-actions: Analysis of the regulatory and planning framework, starting from the PAQE, the Territorial Plan (PAT) of the Municipality of Isola della Scala, and its Intervention Plan (PI); Analysis of the urban and landscape context, with specific reference to the portions of urbanized territory as well as to agricultural and environmentally valuable and landscape territory; Analysis of the mobility networks and services, including existing, planned, and envisaged private and public connections (with specific reference to the 11 themed areas identified by the PAQE) and the road and rail accessibility conditions to the intermodal centre’s location; Definition of macro-intervention strategies and subsequent discussion of intervention options, both with the Municipality and with the main stakeholders involved in urban and territorial transformations; Drafting of the Masterplan through a unitary study and proposal of the 11 themes identified in the PAQE («The city of education», «Relocation of the hospital hub», «Area of research and innovative tertiary», «Area for agri-food development», «The rice supply chain», «Intermodal centre area», «Area for logistics and agri-food and innovation supply chain», «Market road area», «Agro-cultural paths», «The eco-mills of the Tartaro River», and «Agricamping area»); particular attention is paid to defining the urban and transport needs necessary to achieve the development of the logistics hub for the enhancement of the agri-food sector and tourism; Qualitative evaluation of the feasibility and sustainability of the proposals.
- Eastern Sicilian Sea Port System Authority – Study of the compatibility of the project forecasts of the Catania Port Master Plan with the growth of the reference traffic The study, carried out on behalf of the Port System Authority of the Eastern Sicilian Sea, provides a verification of the compatibility of the traffic expected in the coming years for the port of Catania with respect to what is foreseen by the new Port Master Plan (PMP). The need for this evaluation arises by the revision of the PMP by the Port System Authority of the Eastern Sicilian Sea, which provides for a substantial reorganization of the areas dedicated to the various types of traffic. The work was carried out through an analysis of current and future demand for both passenger and freight traffic and through an analysis of current and future infrastructure supply, based on the forecasts of the new PMP. For the purpose of assessing traffic compatibility, demand and supply data were then cross-referenced in order to identify possible criticalities and necessary alternative solutions. The study focused on traffic flows concerning Ro-Ro (and Ro-Pax) and cruise traffic, as these categories are predominant over the rest of port traffic. The compatibility verifications carried out concerned: the current and future Ro-Ro vehicle storage capacity based on the growth forecasts of this traffic; the loading/unloading capacity of Ro-Ro rolling stock based on currently available equipment; the ability to manage within the port area tourist buses serving cruise traffic, both in the current and future conditions, and in particular peak conditions; the impact that increased port traffic will have on the local road system. In conclusion, the infrastructure adjustment forecasts of the new PMP are consistent with the expected growth in demand, both on freight and passenger side.

- Drafting of the Monitoring Report of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan of the Municipality of Piacenza. Verification of the status of implementation of SUMP measures and performance of indicators representative of the Plan objectives TRT was commissioned by the Municipality of Piacenza to draft the Monitoring Report of the current SUMP (Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan), approved by Municipal Council Resolution no. 57 of 28/12/2020. The activity consists in verifying the implementation status of the measures proposed by the SUMP and to provide the trend of the indicators representative of the plan objectives as selected by the MIT (Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport) Guidelines. The Monitoring Report is functional to highlight the impacts on the mobility system and the environment, in order to establish a transparent relationship between the Administration, citizens and stakeholders on how the objectives identified in the Plan have been pursued. The monitoring activity was also an opportunity to assess the effectiveness of the proposed actions on the basis of the state of implementation of the SUMP and the results achieved so far, and at the same time to lay the foundations for the revision and updating of the SUMP. The activities were structured as follows: Reading the state of implementation of the measures foreseen by the current SUMP in both the Reference Scenario and the Plan Scenario highlighting the interventions completed, under construction, in the final and executive design phase or subject to feasibility studies, as well as the interventions not yet started; Estimation of the indicators provided by the current SUMP in order to identify the changes in the different time horizons examined: base year (2019), state of affairs (2023) and the trend with respect to the achievement of the 2030 targets. In particular, both the minimum indicators by the MIT, the additional indicators required by the Emilia Romagna Region, and the context indicators identified by the Piacenza SUMP were estimated. Finally, the Monitoring Report provides useful indications for the updating phase of the SUMP. In this regard, the targets to 2030 indicated by the current SUMP were compared with those indicated by the most recent instruments (PRIT 2025, PAIR 2030, and RER Strategy 2030) consistent with the choices made in the European and national arena. Based on these aspects, potential areas for intervention when updating the SUMP have been highlighted, with the update expected to be completed by December 2025, five years after its approval.

- Cesena Sport City: network of cycling routes connecting sports areas in Cesena Following the victory in the design competition organized by the Municipality of Cesena in 2021, TRTIngegneria is developing a project for cycling connections as part of a broader activity to prepare the final and executive project, as well as safety coordination, aimed at the redevelopment of five sports areas. The project is named «Cesena Sport City». TRTIngegneria is working in partnership with Degli Esposti Architetti Srl (lead partner), CEAS Srl, various professional architects, engineers, and geologists (Elisa Cristiana Cattaneo, Angelo Bolzoni, Umberto Guerra, and Marcello Brugola), and benefits from the technical consultancy of GVG Engineering Srl. Specifically, TRTIngegneria’s activities involve defining and subsequently designing some cycling routes connecting the city center and the new sports hubs covered by the project. In the development of these activities, a methodology is adopted to emphasize and achieve: the construction of a cycling infrastructure based on the concept of a «city for diachronic sections», which means a timeline that can be traversed with slow mobility for daily commuting; strengthening the «Bicipolitana» and the «VeloCe» projects (as planned in the Cesena SUMP); weaving together internal molecular structures, redeveloping and enhancing existing routes, and implementing small actions through the construction of new sections that integrate existing elements; connecting with bike sharing and bike stop points in the project areas, creating small exchange hubs between motorists and cyclists. The use of roads as public spaces and the desire to establish a direct relationship between the city and the surrounding areas lead to proposing actions that aim to question and overturn the current car-pedestrian and car-cyclist hierarchy, reallocating space from parked cars to improve the usability of public spaces.

- Drafting of the Cycling Mobility Plan of the Municipality of Ugento (Salento), strategic vision to promote cycling for daily travel and for tourism The Municipal Administration of Ugento has entrusted “TRT Ingegneria” with the drafting of the Municipal Cycling Mobility Plan, after obtaining funding from the Puglia Region in 2021. The territory of Ugento is characterised by a strong vocation for tourism. This is due to the possibility of taking advantage of its numerous natural and environmental resources, including its marinas and parks, as well as the presence of a significant historical and cultural heritage. The primary public will for the area is to enhance and support the tourism system, and in this regard, cycling plays a particularly important role. Given the characteristics of the city of Ugento, the proposed bicycle network is developed by integrating the central urban area with the extensive network of existing suburban paths and white roads. This is done to define a complete active mobility network in the entire municipal territory that supports not only daily movements but also recreational and leisure trips. The Cycling Plan proposal considers as a starting point some references projects that involve the municipal territory at various levels. These are “La ciclovia dei Tre Mari”, the ongoing “Project for the construction of bicycle paths in the municipality of Ugento” and the proposal contained in the “Plan for the Ugento Litoral Regional Natural Park “. The plan elaboration was structured in two phases: The first phase, called “Cognitive framework and guidelines”, contains the analysis of the current state of cycling mobility in Ugento. It analyses the supply and demand of cycling routes and related services, as well as the social and environmental impacts. This document also contains the regulatory, planning and programming framework. The second phase, called “Drafting the Plan Document”, contains the definition of the objectives and strategies, as well as the description of the method used to identify priorities for action. The document presents the design of the cycle network, identifies services dedicated to cycling, and communication activities to encourage cycling. Finally, the document is completed by the investment cost estimation and the definition of the indicators for monitoring the planned actions. The Plan was adopted by the Municipal Council on 26.01.2023 and received the declaration of non-subjection to the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) on 21.04.2023 by the competent Authority. On 05.07.2023, it was approved by the Municipal Council.

- Evaluation of internal traffic access and parking in the areas of the major polyclinic hospital This study addresses issues related to the reorganisation and management of vehicles parking within the areas of the Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico in the city centre of Milan. The area, currently occupied by construction sites for the new buildings, is characterised by very limited parking spaces and it is affected by frequent phenomena of irregular parking that affect its proper and safe use for the various functions, particularly those related to emergencies. The study analyses in detail the current demand for mobility through: the administration of a questionnaire to employees concerning individual travel, analysis of vehicles and bicycle/pedestrian input/output flows from the area and an in-situ analysis campaign of the supply and demand for parking. Based on the solid reconstruction of the current state, innovative solutions were proposed with regard to parking management, through the implementation of an innovative access control and parking management system. This system is characterised by a high technological content based on the control of both access (through a number plate reading system) and individual parking spaces (through the installation of special sensors on the ground). The new system will be able to control both access and parking vehicles, allowing the automatic detection of any abuses in terms of access and parking.
