Final MeetingGdansk, June 25 2003S.U.TRA. IN THE TRANSPORT PLANNING CONTEXT OF THE CITY OF GENOA

In the following slides were going to present the local actions in the field of the urban transportation planning of the city of GenoaEach of these actions needs a support tool to evaluate a possible environmental impact.This is the aim of the model cascade carried out with the S.U.TRA. project

Final MeetingGdansk, June 25 2003INVISIPInformation Visualisation for Site PlanningINVISIP will provide a technical platform as an aid to facilitate information access and data handling for the site planning process (time-saving, intuitive analysis).INVISIP will create a framework to support all involved parties in the site planning process: municipal authorities and departments, planning offices, data suppliers and citizens. Information Visualisation techniques are used to improve search and analysis tasks, and to facilitate the decision-making process based on an existing metadata information system (MIS) for geographic data. The proposed technical architecture is generic in the sense that it can be used in various fields of application. However, the actual implementation within the project concentrates on site planning, in particular issues connected to traffic are given special attention.

Final MeetingGdansk, June 25 2003RotranomoROad TRAffic NOise MOdelDevelopment of a Microscopic Road Traffic Model for the Assessment of Noise Reduction Measures OBJECTIVESThe aim of the project is to build up a road traffic noise calculation model that can be used for the development of effective and economic noise reduction action plans on a local base as well as for the assessment of noise reduction strategies within the frame of the environmental protection policy in the EU or in its member states. To reach this goal the model must include all relevant influencing parameters, be sensitive for all the kinds of reduction measure scenarios, and be applicable to future estimations.

Final MeetingIn the environmental sector our Department (Mobility and Transport) has started some projects in collaboration with:Main objective: to develop a tool to perform environmental/traffic integrated analisys, supporting the transport planning actvity.Gdansk, June 25 2003The Region of LiguriaThe Province of Genoa Other Local Authorities The University of Genoa Other Departments of the Municipality of Genoa (Environmental Department)USE OF S.U.TRA. KNOWLEDGE

Final MeetingGdansk, June 25 2003NEW PROJECTSM.I.T.A. (italian acronym for: Traffic and Environment Integrated Model)Project carried out by the Municipality of Genoa in collaboration with the Province of Genoa and the University of Genoa;Objective: to develop a tool to evaluate the environmental impact due to the transport planning actions,performing simulation of the present and future scenarios.Financed by the Italian Ministry for Environment and the Municipality of Genoa.S.I.M.A. (italian acronym for: Mobility and Environment Informative System).Project carried out by the Municipality of Genoa; the Province of Genoa and the Region of Liguria;Objective: to improve the available GIS tool, in a way that the Local Authorities, involved in the project, could have an easy access to all the available updating information about traffic and environment.Financed by the Municipality of Genoa and the Region of Liguria.

SIMULATION TOOLSTraffic Assignment: VISUM PTV (like in S.U.TRA.)Emission Evaluation: common model for all the cities involved in Re.M.I.T.A.Dispersion Model: task developed by the Province of Genoa Tools: available model already validated + at least one more, not chosen yetM.I.T.A. S.U.TRA.Exploitation of knowledge and data resulting from the S.U.TRA project, in spite of the partial differences in the model chain, will significantly contribute both in the validation phase of M.I.T.A, both for dissemination of the results.

Final MeetingGdansk, June 25 2003At present an italian network (Re.M.I.T.A..) is being set up by some cities (Genoa, Rome, Milan, Parma ect.) involved in projects with the same characteristics of M.I.T.A.The main objective of this working group will be to develop a common architecture system, in order to obtain comparable results at national level.Re.M.I.T.A.Network of Cities Environmental and Traffic Integrated Model

Final MeetingGdansk, June 25 2003DISSEMINATION PLAN The first results of the SUTRA project are going to be presented to the Local Authorities. To this aim a presentation is foreseen for the first week of July.To carry on the dissemination of the results, attending the public thematic events, that will be organised, in order to reach all the possible S.U.TRA. stakeholders. Wed like to spend some more time, in collaboration with the ARPAL team, to improve the actual results for the specific case of Genoa; refining the input data and taking into account the modifications made on the VISUM network in the meanwhile.

CONCLUSIONS

to take advantage of expertise, created thanks to the project, inside the before mentioned city network Re.M.I.T.A.to be able to compare the characteristics of the future proposed tools and methodology with those adopted in S.U.TRA. to be able to choose the most suitable support system for its urban transport planning

Its clear that exploitation and dissemination of the S.U.TRA. results will be an ongoing process, with a quite long horizon time.Final MeetingGdansk, June 25 2003

Final MeetingGdansk, June 25 2003DISTRIBUTION OF GOODSThe project foresees a system of goods delivery, using non-polluting vehicles, managed by a hub. The hub collects the goods that will be delivered to the Historic Centre of Genoa , only with non-polluting vehicles. Path optimization and Internt based tracking is supplied..Objectives :Decreasing environmental impact (air pollution and noise) caused by goods delivery;Rationalizing goods delivery with consequent increasing efficiency of whole distributive system;Economic and social requalifying Historic Centre of the city.

SOFT MEASURESObjectives : to study commuting mobility to reduce the individual vehicles use, to develope school safety plans and road safety actions
