CLASSIFYING - COUNTING - WEIGHING THE VEHICLES ON THE BRIDGES

Comark in cooperation with its Slovenian partner has installed a technologically advanced system on the Odessa bridge in Ukraine. The system is unique in its kind.
The project foresees the detection of the traffic load on the bridge - in particular the main aim is to detect:
• the quantity, the type and speed of vehicles that cross the bridge which is Comark’s specialty, while our partner detects the weight and load of the vehicle.
The said topic is very actual and the synergy created with our partner shows how sensitive Comark is towards the safety not only of roads but also of bridges.

Specifically, Comark supplied Nr. 2 RL4001 systems with a mixed technology – owned exclusively by Comark. Every system has Nr. 2 lasers scanner and Nr. 3 units of Doppler radars that allow the detection, the classification and counting of light vehicles over the Odessa bridge (Ukraine) with high precision.
The main advantages of these sensors are:
• detecting traffic in real time
• Extremely reliable
• Do not require maintenance
• Work perfectly even in severe weather conditions such as fog or snow.

COMARK is an Italian Company that has been operating worldwide for 26 years and is leader on traffic detectors with laser scanner technology. The laser scanner sensors are devices that allow roads traffic detection in real-time increasing the safety in the roads and highways.

ACI-ISTAT road accident report year 2020: Covid 19 effect, accidents, deaths and injuries collapse
In 2020, in Italy - due to lockdowns, mobility blocks and curfews due to the Covid19 emergency - compared to 2019, road accidents and injuries fell by a third (respectively -31.3% and -34%), a quarter died (-24.5%), a fifth seriously injured (- 20%).
In absolute values, there were 118,298 accidents (on average 324 per day, 13.5 per hour; there were 172,183 in 2019), 2,395 deaths per day (6.5 per day, 1 every 3 ½ hours; 3,173 in 2019) and injuries 159,249 (436 per day, 18 every hour; 241,384 in 2019), of which 14,102 serious (38.6 per day: 17,600 in 2019). Among the 2,395 road fatalities, 1947 (81.29%) are men, 448 women (18.71%).
The most significant decrease in accidents was recorded on motorways (-39.9%), followed by urban (-31.7%) and extra-urban roads (-27.5%). Still on the motorways, the greatest reduction (-37.1%) of victims was recorded. Followed by extra-urban (-25.7%) and urban (-20.3%) roads. The social costs of road accidents amounted to 11.6 billion euros (0.7% of GDP), against 16.9 billion (1% of GDP) in 2019, for a reduction of 31.4%. These are the essential data of the ACI-ISTAT report on road accidents 2020.
According to the President of ACI, TTS Italia founding member, Angelo Sticchi Damiani, "The analysis of ACI-Istat data shows that, unfortunately, the decrease in accidents and victims is solely linked to the anti-Covid confinement measures. The trend in road accidents has moved hand in hand with the reduction in mobility and then with the recovery. It is also evident - added the President of ACI - the involvement of new forms of soft mobility. Specific rules are necessary for the circulation of these vehicles alongside motor vehicles for a peaceful coexistence on the road. Only with mutual respect, knowledge of the rules and road education for all, will we be able to have safe mobility. We therefore welcome the discussion initiated by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility with Anci and representatives of Sharing Mobility, as well as the start of work for the definition of a National Cycling Mobility Plan within the year ".

Memorandum of Understanding signed between digITAlog SpA and the AdSP of the Adriatic Sea North Center for the digitalization of logistics  
digITAlog, implementing body of the Ministry of Sustainable Infrastructure and Mobility for the implementation and management of the National Logistics Platform (PLN), and TTS Italia ordinary member, and the AdSP of the Northern Central Adriatic Sea, including the Port of Ravenna, have signed the memorandum of understanding for joining the PLN Port Community System (PCS).
Therefore, the commitment of digITAlog SpA continues in the digitization of port services in order to achieve both the institutional objective of homogenizing the tools at the service of the port community, as also required by the National Strategic Plan for Ports and Logistics (PSNPL), and the more general one of contributing to the efficiency of national logistics and to the increase of its competitiveness on a global level.
The PLN PCS represents a single interface of ITS infrastructure, is conceptually divided into Institutional PCS and Operative PCS and aims to meet the needs of individual port communities, promoting the definition of uniform operating standards and models in national logistics realities. The Institutional PCS also provides the AdSP with digital services useful for the implementation of the Single Administrative Desk, while the Operational PCS supports the Port Community in carrying out logistical operations and provides an information base to the AdSP to carry out its institutional tasks for coordination, the promotion and control of port operations.
The Memorandum of Understanding provides for two macro phases: Phase 1 "Release of PCS PLN services" provides for the progressive replacement of the PCS-Ravenna with the PCS PLN including both the institutional and operational ones, the release of the services currently present in the Ravenna PCS and not in that of the PLN and finally the release of further services of interest to the AdSP. Phase 2, on the other hand, involves the management and evolution of the PCS PLN services released in Phase 1.
Among the innovations envisaged by the Memorandum of Understanding is the establishment of a governance body at national level - made up of the AdSPs adhering to the PCS PLN and extensible to all those that adhere to it - delegated to treat, by way of example, the general lines development of the PCS PLN with a view to homogenization envisaged in the PSNPL, the priorities in the development of new functions and the economic aspects.

Roma Servizi per la Mobilità: the public experimentation of the App has started to encourage sustainable mobility
The public experimentation of the new App “Roma runs by bike” has started. The App, created by Roma Servizi per la Mobilità (the mobility agency of Rome), TTS Italia ordinary member, was designed to promote the use of bicycles and electric scooters in daily commuting around the city.
“Roma runs by bike” is first and foremost a navigator able to calculate the best route to reach a destination, using the new cycle route calculation method made available by Google.
During the journey, the App monitors the journey and calculates some parameters of the journey such as length, average speed, calories consumed and CO2 emissions saved.
The App is also able to "certify" that the movement is actually taking place with the indicated means, by checking the maximum speeds reached and the time for exceeding the constraints set.
In addition to these functions, which are useful in everyday travel, there are others for the promotion of sustainable mobility. Starting with the system of discounts in the shops that will join the initiative for those who will shop using the bike.
The traders who will be part of the project will be registered in the app as "bike friendly" and will be able to offer users particularly advantageous conditions that will be directly proportional to the kilometers "pedaled". The App was designed to accumulate credits as the distance traveled increases and allows you to generate QR Codes with a personalized value that can then be downloaded in the store at the time of purchase.
In addition to citizens, companies can also register. Thanks to the functionalities of the App, they have the possibility to decide which type of incentives to grant to employees who move in a sustainable way. Companies, through mobility managers, and merchants can join by contacting Roma Servizi per la Mobilità at mobility-manager@romamobilita.it
To participate in the trial, Android users will be able to download the App from the Play store, after agreeing to join the testing program. IOs users, on the other hand, must first install the TestFlight App from which they can then download the actual App using this link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/8I64kFtp

Scania publishes life cycle assessment of battery electric vehicles
As the first player in the heavy commercial vehicle industry, Scania, TTS Italia ordinary member, publishes a life cycle assessment (LCA) of distribution vehicles. The LCA concludes that the environmental impact of battery electric vehicles is significantly lower than that of a vehicle with an internal combustion engine. 
Life Cycle Assessment is an ISO 14040/44 method to calculate the environmental impacts of products, covering the entire life cycle from cradle to grave, starting at the extracting and refining of raw materials and ending at the recovery of, in this case, the vehicles. 
“As the heavy commercial vehicle industry converts into a higher share of battery electric vehicles, we have to ask ourselves, are the battery electric vehicles truly good for the environment when we look over the full life cycle? The impact generated is not from the tailpipe emissions, so the industry needs to rethink what we mean by environmental impact. With this study, we have the clear answers” says Andreas Follér, Head of Sustainability at Scania. 
The production of the battery electric vehicle entails a higher environmental impact, mainly due to energy intensive battery cell manufacturing. Despite the increased production burden, the total life cycle impact on climate change is dramatically better for the battery electric vehicles, thanks to the much lower carbon impact from the use phase. 
For trucks operating in EU, we reduce life cycle carbon emissions by 38% (EU mix 2016) to 63% (prognosed EU mix 2030). If we switch to green electricity, we reach a carbon emission reduction over the life cycle of 86%. The battery electric vehicle has the potential to have less climate impact than the one with an internal combustion engine already within one or two years of operation. This covers all investigated electricity mixes in the report.
The battery cells stands for a bit over 40% of the carbon emissions coming from production of battery electric vehicles. There is however a big potential for improved emission levels from the production of battery electric vehicles as the battery industry continuously decarbonises and the use of green electricity continuously increases. 
“We expect that the total cost of operation for the majority of our customers will be positive for battery electric vehicles during this decade and half our volumes might well have an electric driveline by 2030. The race towards zero emissions will be about decarbonising the processes and materials needed to assemble the future truck and buses,” says Follér. 
Partnerships are key to delivering on the carbon reductions needed to achieve the Science Based Targets Scania has committed to. For example, the partnership with Northvolt which aims to produce the world’s greenest battery. Steel is another big part of the sourcing carbon footprint of trucks, due to the heavy fossil dependency in the production phase. The partnership with H2 Green Steel aims at solving that and sets Scania on a trajectory for a Zero Emission Truck, which the company aims to deliver on in 2030.

MaaS: an ecosystem that requires collaboration between public and private. The interview with the President of TTS Italia, Rossella Panero, on Mobility Magazine
More than a MaaS system, it is more correct to speak of a MaaS ecosystem in which multiple figures must converge in a harmonized way and in which a targeted collaboration between public and private is almost essential. Because if it is true that the purpose of MaaS is to put the end user with his specific needs at the center of everything, this goal cannot be achieved if the assembly line is not well oiled.
We no longer speak only of digital platforms and integrations, but also of regulatory rules that allow effective development of MaaS at a national level first of all, but also internationally, with a view to seamless mobility. The advantages of MaaS are, would be, for everyone: for the user, for the offer side, for those who provide services other than mobility, but still connected to it, think of tourism. Finally, if accompanied by appropriate public policies, MaaS can become a great opportunity for public mobility governance.

The goal is to make oneself available to the country system to develop innovative projects for logistics, especially for its digitization, to permanently and definitively change a fundamental sector for the development and recovery of Italian competitiveness.
In particular, the FLC, thanks to the support of its partners and its network, will develop innovative projects for the entire supply chain, from the collection of goods to final delivery, for all means of transport.
For its part, TTS Italia, through the network of members and partners, will bring all those technologies and digital solutions to the attention of the sector, a real moment of innovation in logistics.
A joint action aimed not only at spreading the culture of innovation and sharing good practices in the sector, but also at presenting operational solutions to the Public Administration for the simplification of procedures and control and monitoring processes.
For Rossella Panero, President of TTS Italia “The joint working table with FLC is extremely important for us. We need to combine forces, projects and ideas to create a system and be truly capable of giving support to the institutions in the first place, but not only, for digital and new logistics, not only innovative ".
For Massimo Marciani, President of the FLC: "Innovation and digitalization are the two pillars of the new normal of logistics and a joint work between our two associations will be the engine of this epochal change in logistics, the industrial industry".
