RAILWAYS IN THE LANCIANO AREA CAPKIN, Sevket Oguz Kagan Transport Systems Engineering Master’s Degree Final Thesis Supervisor: Prof. Maria Vittoria CORAZZA Rome, October 2019 The tram-train system is an innovative, at least for the Italian panorama interoperable public transport system, which allows to bond between urban centers and extra-urban zones, by using a single type of public transport vehicle (tram or LRT) adapted or redesigned to operate both on public transport infrastructure (tram lines or LRT lines) and existing railway lines. This is the case of the dismissed Sangritana railway, now under the preliminary phases of rehabilitation in the Lanciano area, as prospective tram-train service. To assess its feasibility, a multi-criteria analysis is carried out, coherently with the operator’s approach. For the comparison, three different transport modes, which are tram-train; light rail train; and bike service (according to the possible options in the area), are chosen and the analysis is done concerning criteria focused on the assessment of the environmental effects, operational situations, social acceptance, and economical perspective. The four criteria are weighted (environmental effects-35%, operational situations-25%, social reactions-20%, and economical perspective-35%) according to importance levels. Then, the three transport modes are compared, resulting into a best score for the bike service. Light rail train is the second best option and tram-train service is the third one. Key Words: Tram-Train System, Multi-Criteria Analysis, Light Rail Train, Bike Service 3 BACKGROUND The purpose of the study is by answering the following research questions: ▪ What is the tram-train service and its concept? ▪ Which innovative systems have a similar concept to tram-train service? ▪ What are the Multi-criteria Analysis and its procedure? ▪ Can the tram-train service be successfully operational in the Lanciano area, in line with the local operators’ vision? ▪ Which transport mode (comparison of three modes which are tram-train, light rail train, and bike service) is better to implement according to multi- criteria analysis concerning four main criteria which are the economic situation, environmental issue, social effect, an operational issue, to assess the relaunch of the rail supply in the study area? After that, in this study, there are six main parts which are “Introduction, Study Case: Lanciano Tram-Train Project, Technical Approach, Results of Study, Conclusion, and Comments”. First part, which is Introduction, includes the tram-train system’s definition; concepts; features; requirements; existing implemented examples around the European Union, light rail train systems’ definition; features; requirements; examples of implementation around the World, cargo-tram systems and examples around the European Union, and environmental effects of transportation systems. The second part, which is Study Case: Lanciano Tram-Train Project, gives some information about Abruzzo Region (Italy)’s geography, existing

    Forum of the Adriatic and Ionian Chambers of Commerce SEA TRAFFIC OBSERVATORY - 2012 REPORT PORTS OF THE ADRIATIC AND IONIAN SEAS. TEN YEARS OF SEA TRAFFIC AND EUROPEAN POLICIES ________________________________________________________________ Ida Simonella Brindisi, 6th-8th June 2012 1. Objectives and methodology. The introductory speech of the Workgroup for transport focused this year on the usual current analysis of sea traffic1 and took stock of 10 years short sea shipping in the Adriatic and Ionian Seas and long-distance traffic in the goods sector. The recent review of European policies in the fields of infrastructures and transport, proposed by the European Union, has furthermore enabled to make further reflections on the central importance of these issues vis-à-vis the European decisions on the Adriatic-Ionian basin. 2. Short sea shipping traffic Passenger traffic on international connections has been basically stable over the decade. Over the last 6-7 years the flow of passengers as a whole has been stable, with about 7 million passengers every year, although further reductions were registered in the last few years. Ancona, which registered over 1.4 million passengers as whole in 2011, is still the leading port, closely followed by the port of Bari. Both ports registered a reduction in traffic in the year concerned if -7% and -2% respectively. The widespread reduction in traffic is mainly due to the crisis of the Greek market, which as worsened since 2008. This market is by far the most important one for Adriatic ports and its reduction is bringing about visible effects. Along that route, Italian Adriatic ports have lost about 400,000 passengers since 2007-2008, i.e.

They make direct connections between town centers and surrounding regions possible, by physically linking existing regional heavy-rail networks with urban tram-networks. The Tram-Train approach offers many advantages by using existing infrastructure to improve regional transit. However using two very different networks and mixing heavy rail and tram operations increases complexity and often requires compromise solutions. The research surveyed existing systems to identify key requirements for successfully introducing Tram-Train systems. These requirements include network design, city layout, population density, and physical factors (e.g., platform heights). One of the most important factors is cooperation between many actors including transit operators, railways and cities. Tram-Train systems are complex, but can provide significant benefits in the right situations.
