Negli ultimi decenni, le città di tutto il mondo hanno iniziato a ridurre i limiti di velocità sia nelle aree residenziali, che nel centro. In Svizzera, per esempio, in oltre 700 quartieri e comuni sono presenti strade e zone con limite di 30 km/h e alcune iniziative mirano Continua
DIPLOMAT – DesIgn, oPtimization and controL Of urban MultimodAl sysTems
Per comprendere la fisica della mobilità urbana occorre analizzare le dinamiche del traffico di reti urbane multimodali in svariati scenari, incluse varie proprietà delle reti. A tal fine, basandosi sul concetto del diagramma macroscopico fondamentale tridimensionale bimodale (3D-MFD), è possibile utilizzare un modello aggregato per sistemi multimodali per Continua
