Analysis of goods transport along the alpine area, across the following points:

• Comparison between the traffic flows resulting from the survey CAFT and the traffic flows surveyed at motorway tollbooths or tunnels in Italy;
• Study of goods traffic evolution in the five-year period 1999-2004 as a function of the quantity of goods transported, the number and type of vehicles in transit;
• Definition of the origins and destinations of the journeys for each crossing and definition of the borders crossed by the traffic flows having their origin or destination in the main Italian regions;
• Evaluations on the distribution of the journeys across the Alps on the road network of the area by using the traffic model TRANS-ALPS, and definition of the heavy traffic share crossing the Alps with respect to the total amount of heavy vehicles travelling on the TEN European and on the Italian road network;

Setting up new instruments of analysis to estimate the results of intervention aimed at limiting the impacts of urban mobility on the quality of the air. The aim was both to update the state of the art and to offer some support to public bodies that are interested in applying the methods set up during the research, both for the city of Milan and for other metropolitan cities.

Development of methods and models to evaluate interventions on traffic, on the traffic lights in particular, in order to reduce air pollution.
