WP02: Data compilation Energy modelling (MARKAL) • TECHNICAL MEETINGS • MARKAL workshop, held in Geneva (5-6 february 2001). • MARKAL workshop, held in Geneva (27-28-29 august 2001). • ENCOUNTEREDDIFFICULTIES • Difficulties in accessing some of the Operative and Maintenance Costs • Difficulties in quantifying the DMD • CONTACTS WITH THE MODELLING PARTNER (UGE) • E-mail exchanges for the compilation of the on line database Steering Committee Meeting Thessaloniki, August 30/31 2001

  8. WP02: Data compilation Emission and street canyon modelling (VADIS) • PROVIDED DATA • Traffic flows (hourly average values) from traffic detectors in the modelling domain; • The “Volume-Delay” function for the primary traffic road; • The percentage of each class of vehicles in the urban traffic; • Metereological data; • Domain data (3D). • Airquality data from the local measurement station (available not provided, yet) • TECHNICAL MEETINGS • VADIS training course, held in Aveiro (12-13 June 2001). • CONTACTS WITH THE MODELLING PARTNER (UAV) • During the “Air Quality Modelling Workshop”, in Aveiro, UAV team • showed the application of the VADIS model to the city of Genoa Steering Committee Meeting Thessaloniki, August 30/31 2001

  9. WP02: Data compilation Regional air quality modelling (OFIS) • PROVIDED DATA • Emissions for the urban and suburban part of Genoa and 8 “neighbour cities” and for the rural surface of Liguria (Regional Emission Inventory); • Location of the cities (coordinates of the centre, surface and radius); • Data from the meteorological station. • TECHNICAL MEETINGS • OFIS training course, held in Aveiro (12-13 June 2001). • ENCOUNTEREDDIFFICULTIES • Aggregation of emission data (orography of Liguria) • CONTACTS WITH THE MODELLING PARTNER (AUT) • E-mail exchanges. Steering Committee Meeting Thessaloniki, August 30/31 2001

  10. WP02: Data compilation Public Health Impacts • PROVIDED DATA • Traffic accidents data according to UBG’s requirements (accidents classification, territorial distribution, people involved, ecc.); • Overview of available (or available on demand) studies concerning effects of pollution exposure on public health in the urban area of Genoa. • ENCOUNTEREDDIFFICULTIES • We haven’t any data about marital status, educational level, income and blood alcohol concentration of injured people. • CONTACTS WITH THE MODELLING PARTNER (UBG) • E-mail exchanges. Steering Committee Meeting Thessaloniki, August 30/31 2001

  11. WP08: Indicators and economic assessment Genoa contributes to the discussion about the analysis of the set of indicators • AVAILABLE DATA Demographic data Annual population growth, ageing structure  Economic data (not completed yet) Share of teleworkers (study carried out by IST) and service sector on total employment Technological data (not completed yet) Some of the requested data could be supply with reference to national averages. Steering Committee Meeting Thessaloniki, August 30/31 2001

  12. WP11: Scenario definition Objectives • Development of a consistent set of common base scenarios for all cities • Genoa contributes to the definition of urban transportation and development scenario analysis (working notes 3v2 “A summary of scenarios”). Participation in the technical coordination meeting held at FEEM in Milan, May 18, 2001. • Development of a set of future scenarios for each city (specific for Genoa) • At the moment the focus is on future transportation polices, see for instance: • - building of new infrastructure: a tunnel under the sea; • - application of road pricing schemes; • - increment of the number of teleworkers; • - … Steering Committee Meeting Thessaloniki, August 30/31 2001

  13. WP12: Scenario analysis Part 1: simulation • Attendance to modelling workshops • Geneve, 7/9 february 2001: Energy Modelling (MARKAL) • Genoa, 21/24 may 2001: Traffic Network Modelling (VISUM) • Aveiro, 12/13 june 2001: Air Quality Modelling (OFIS and VADIS) • First simulation runs on the baseline scenario • VADIS • VISUM • Software “management” • PTV will support Genoa in performing traffic simulations. • Could the city have a running version of the other models, too? Steering Committee Meeting Thessaloniki, August 30/31 2001

  14. Conclusion and plan for the next period In this project period, the working team of Genoa concentrated his efforts in the data collection activities and organization of the requested information into proper format. The need of a wide range of data has led us to estabilish profitable network of technical and administrative contacts. The main activities of the next period are related to WP11/WP12: to improve the data set for the baseline scenario; to perform traffic simulation with the support of partners or to analyse results of simulation carried out by partners which cannot provide their tools; to define, following the partner’s guide lines, significant development scenarios; to organize the Mid-term Assessment which’ll be held in Genoa, in the next december.
