L'approccio è duplice: da un lato si tratta di comprendere a fondo il fenomeno delle scelte collettive, studiando come l'interazione tra i diversi attori possa portare a una convergenza di opinioni verso una decisione collettiva condivisa. Dall'altra parte, si tratta di trovare adeguati metodi di supporto alle decisioni che possano guidare il processo di partecipazione. La metodologia si basa sull’utilizzo di modelli ad agenti, con l’obiettivo di orientare processi di partecipazione reali e prevedere i possibili risultati di un’interazione, e metodi di supporto alle decisioni di gruppo, per aiutare a prendere decisioni coerenti sulla base di diversi criteri di giudizio. I risultati della ricerca possono essere d’aiuto a decisori e tecnici ad affrontare decisioni complesse con più soggetti interessati e guidare i processi di partecipazione. • Qualifica conseguita Dottore di ricerca In Ingegneria delle Infrastrutture Idrauliche, Sanitario-Ambientali e dei Trasporti • Livello nella classificazione Dottorato di ricerca nazionale (se pertinente) • Date (da – a) 02/09/2013 – 31/01/2014 • Tipo di istruzione, nome e tipo di Erasmus Exchange Programme presso Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) - istituto di istruzione o formazione Departamento de Ingeniería e Infraestructura de los Transportes seguita dal prof.

  • 29 – Eurocruise – Milan
    29 – Eurocruise – Milan In the previous segment I should have mentioned that this date, May 1, May Day, would be my last full day in Europe and would mark the end of my journey. \ I would be flying back to the U. S. the following morning. So my trip on the 10:57 from Bergamo to Milan was my penultimate train ride. Upon arrival at Milan Centrale at 11:50 I found a locker quickly and reached the adjacent trolley stop forthwith. I did not stop to admire the iconic stub-end railway terminal, constructed in 1931 during the fascist Mussolini era, as I have done that in the past and could do it again later. The weather had turned gloomy again, but that did not stop me from buying a day ticket and using it for a number of hours. It would stay dismal, but with only an occasional drizzle, but also with the sun peeking through the clouds briefly from time to time. Milan is Italy’s second largest city, with a population of 1.5 million (3 million in metropolitan area). Despite the construction of a 4-line heavy Metro system (soon to be 5), it still retains the status of being one of the favorite cities of trolley enthusiasts world wide, especially Americans. This is probably because it still operates a remarkable number of Peter Witt streetcars from the late 1920s over a network of 18 routes that stretches for almost 80 miles (see http://www.urbanrail.net/eu/it/mil/tram/milano-tram.htm). In fact 5 of Milan’s tram lines are still exclusively served by the iconic Peter Witts.

    Tunnels and Underground Cities: Engineering and Innovation meet Archaeology, Architecture and Art – Peila, Viggiani & Celestino (Eds) © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, London, ISBN 978-1-138-38865-9 Moving material with belt conveyors in urban environment and for long tunnel construction in Italy: Metro Catania, Scilla ’s shaft, A1 highway and Brenner Base Tunnel M. Bringiotti & G. Bringiotti GeoTunnel S.r.l., Genoa, Italy W. Aebersold & P. Rufer Marti Technik AG., Moosedorf, Switzerland ABSTRACT: Mucking out automatic systems have been nowadays widely exploited in practic- ally all mechanized tunnelling proJects. This mostly occurs due to the improvement of the related technologies that solve complex logistic-related problems, but also to the environment, safety, energetic aspects, CO2 emission, manpower optimization. Also Owners have already been speci- fying such systems in their tender documents as Brenner alpine tunnel, Turin-Lyon, Gothard, Loetschbeg. The paper describes a particular case in a urban contest which is the Catania Metro. Therefore, starting from little capacity and short tunnels we will arrive to huge diameter TBMs, such as the 16m diameter in A1 highway, up to BTC-Brenner Mules, where about 80 km of very complicate systems are able to handle various excavation front faces. 1 WHY TO USE BELT CONVEYORS? A. Answering to this question is not complicated, at all . B. In nearly all mining procedures, conveyor belts (Fig. 1) are especially necessary to limits movement costs (in terms of incidence reduction per ton of produced prime material) of excavated material toward the plant which is able to process it. Cost reduction is a combin- ation of various parameters but, although this is a primary reason to develop such a tech- nology, it is not the only one.
