This presentation provides a general outline of the technological and operational framework in support of a mobility government that must start from the citizens’ needs and extend accessibility to the cities by guaranteeing sustainable and fair transport and mobility services.
This framework is then detailed on the basis of Italian middle-size cities, which are important realities and in any case look similar to each other and to many other European cities. Italian cities need to cope with and solve the problems of accessibility and mobility that are due to the specific urban layout and functions, to solve which we need established solutions, tools and technology inspired by the best practices and most significant experiences that have been developed so far in many European and Italian cities.
For urban and metropolitan areas, the actors and public bodies having jurisdiction on the “city as a system” must cooperate to outline and implement an Integrated Mobility System that must take into account transport, the environment, the living conditions and social cohesion, which are the indicators of overall urban and metropolitan sustainability.
The initiatives therefore must be developed and implemented along two main lines:
 |
To strengthen, in urban and metropolitan areas, the general planning of transport and mobility, partly through simulation and impact-assessment tools; |
|
To implement technological services and infrastructures to monitor and control the processes taking place along the network and work on daily planning. Then, to introduce systems/services for citizen information, lights and lights-priority control, integrated parking management and routing of vehicles to parking lots, access control, integrated rating, management of bus timetables and connections, flexible transport services, tourist bus routing, urban logistics, etc. |
This presentation provides a general picture of the solutions and operating approach of the city as a system, in support of proper mobility governance.
In particular, it highlights that the cities need to create a technical/operating facility having real responsibility for choices and actions, in terms of planning, implementation, monitoring and control. Then, a suitable level of integration must be developed for each system and service, not only in terms of technology but also in terms of operating and organisational cooperation and interaction between the public bodies and the other actors involved in the management of mobility and traffic processes. |
