An estimate of the transport capacity of these infrastructures is developed, with the aim of comparing it with the forecasts of the increase of harbour traffic; this leads to assessing the residual potentiality in the period 2000-2010. Analysis results point out various critical situations, especially for what concerns road transport. Therefore, a gradual redistribution is proposed from road to rail mode that still offers a noticeable residual potentiality, despite of its extensive utilisation of some sections. Lastly, the role that a more strict integration of maritime ports, according to the harbour system concept, can have in enforcing the railway mode is mentioned.

The paper reviews briefly the development of DRT services world-wide and then focuses on the new service concepts that have been developed as part of the DGXIII-funded SAMPLUS project. Five European demonstration sites are introduced and the experience of the Italian case-study (Florence) is taken as a detailed example. The evaluation of DRT services comprises four assessment categories (economic viability, service provision, technical performance and market projection). In conclusion, discussion centres on the contribution of DRT to future public transport provision and the barriers that must be overcome in order to facilitate widespread adoption.

The 1 analytical approach to urban systems modelling is very recent, however some complex models, named integrated land-use/ transport models, have been developed and used in ail over the world. However, these models do not stress the transport component, while they give much more importance to modelling land-use. In this paper, simulated land-use interactions are relative to residential and economic activity location, based on behaviourally consistent accessibility measures (logsum variables) as well as potential demand for economic activities and available floor-space. Both "active" and "passive" accessibility have been defined and considered. Type: Articolo 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z
