Infrastructure, Tariff and Legal Action: How to Achieve a Climate-Friendly Transport System

2011

Transportation absorbs about 70% of oil consumption in EU countries. The fuels that burn in the field of transport are composed of 96% of oil. Energy efficiency of road and air traffic must also be improved. But transport environmental impacts reductions should be made necessarily through a transfer of traffic from the car, lorries and aircraft to train, ship, and non motorized two-wheelers into the EU cities. In fact the former are large producers of greenhouse gases, while the latter are more environmentally friendly means of transport in climate. Reaching an annual increase of 1% of the modal split in favour of more sustainable means of transport on the environment must be set as a goal …

GNSS/WEB-GIS heliport planning in a regional area for VTOL transport services

2014

The role of the helicopter in airport planning and air traffic analysis is fundamental with re-gard to both the qualitative and quantitative increasing of the demand and the technical en-hancement of the aircrafts. This leads to infrastructural and organizational issues. Such a need finds a plausible solution in the implementation of a helicopter service and the creation of a heliport network linked to the airport, road and rail systems. Part of the issue of airport planning and design is the study of helicopters’ utilization for purposes other than commer-cial such as aerial work and civil protection. The helicopter is indeed essential in all those uses based on the capabilities that it ha…

The role of heavy vehicles in road safety: Technical improvements and training of professional drivers in EU activities

2011

This paper proposes an analysis of initiatives and measures that the EU has developed, both in terms of research and normative, in order to improve the safety of freight vehicles. The actions undertaken by the EU under the program for road safety, with particular attention to the road freight sector, the more representative, are the following: - Improving the visibility of heavy duty vehicles (HDV), - The elimination of points with poor visibility from the HDV, - Evaluation of measures to reduce accidents related to tires condition, - The standardization and improvement of initial and continuing training of professional drivers. The classification of defects which are considered to have ser…

Helicopter operations: the environmental impact and ground facilities. Procedures and operational standards for the system’s acceptance.

2012

The link between the heliports, environmental quality and safety is an important challenge in the field of helicopter transport. This challenge is especially crucial when the helicopter operations are carried out on densely urbanized areas. Often these areas have significant constraints and obstacles, particularly in terms of noise pollution. These constraints make the approach/takeoff maneuvers very complicated. The theme of the environmental sustainability of the rotorcraft is strongly felt in many countries. The production of noise is subjected to numerous rules and procedures, which tend to improve the acceptability of the helicopter by residents in neighboring areas to verti/heliports.…

Il sistema dei trasporti per lo sviluppo del turismo in Sicilia

2011

Il sistema dei trasporti può svolgere un ruolo strategico per lo sviluppo del turismo in quelle aree che possiedono un elevato livello di attrattività turistica, ma una scarsa accessibilità. Lo scopo di questo studio è quello di formulare strategie e interventi di natura infrastrutturale e organizzativa per innalzare l’accessibilità di zone dotate di una spiccata attrattività turistica. Questo studio è stato sviluppato riguardo al territorio siciliano, caratterizzato da un prezioso patrimonio culturale e naturalistico. Tra gli interventi si è studiata l’ipotesi di proporre servizi elicotteristici di linea tra alcune località turistiche di particolare pregio come le isole minori. Il costo el…

Regional passenger transport. A comparison analysis between helicopter and seaplane

2014

Heliports and seaplane bases are relatively small infrastructures able to serve medium or low volumes of regional traffic in poor accessible areas or in zones just located to the next proximity of the urban areas. The spatial extension of the airside is directly connected with the costs of the infrastructure and it is primarily determinate by the type of aircraft that uses the infrastructure and secondarily by the design expected traffic. The helicopter infrastructure is far smaller than that required for airplanes and seaplanes, since the first doesn’t suffers the lateral wind on the approach and landing direction. On the other hand, the rotorcraft suffers operative costs largely high than…

Le isole minori quali poli di attrazione turistica ed i servizi elicotteristici di linea in Sicilia

2011

La continua esigenza di accorciare i tempi di viaggio, che, assieme alla spinta all’economicità delle tariffe, caratterizza fortemente la domanda passeggeri, spinge alla progettazione di sistemi di trasporto innovativi che permettano di ottenere prestazioni efficaci ed efficienti. I modi di trasporto provano a rispondere all’esigenza di garantire una pronta e adeguata copertura di mobilità e, d’altro canto, ad abbattere la difficoltà di riuscire a realizzare sistemi dinamici, che possano adattarsi nel tempo alle fluttuazioni della domanda. Tra i sistemi di trasporto pubblico quello elicotteristico non riveste attualmente un ruolo da protagonista all’interno della complessa struttura della m…

la progettazione dell'informazione e le strategie di erogazione all'utenza

2009

I "servizi informativi per gli utenti in mobilità" comprendono l''insieme dei sistemi tecnologici, apparati mobili, unità centrali ed elementi distribuiti sul territorio, che permettono la raccolta e lo scambio di informazioni tra soggetti in movimento e applicazioni informatiche tramite l''integrazione di diverse tecnologie di comunicazione, di localizzazione, di acquisizione e di trattamento delle informazioni. Un tema particolarmente complesso riguarda l''erogazione dell''informazione agli utenti in modo che l''intero sistema tragga dall''infomobilità i maggiori vantaggi possibili. Lo studio prende in esame gli strumenti necessari affinché le informazioni giungano all’utente, i possibili…

A system for wide area travellers to provide infomobility services

2008

SWATHE (System for Wide Area Travellers and Haulers to provide infomobility sErvices) is a project funded by the Italian Ministry of Scientific and Technological Research (MIUR). The project, was led by Telespazio and the University of Palermo, it had a duration of three years and the main objective was the study and development of applications based on innovative location techniques (e.g. supported by GPS, EGNOS-TRAN and more, generally, by assisted network systems) for the provision of infomobility services in the framework of the intermodal transportation of goods. The SWATHE project manages the change among transport modes by the seamless monitoring of intermodal transport units. The pr…
