Abstract

The development of sustainable mobility is linked to technological developments and different forms of vehicle power supply. Despite all the difficulties brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, therefore, it is necessary to provide road users with an adequate network of public recharging infrastructures and to facilitate the setting-up of private recharging stations through shared and participatory development plans between the stakeholders and all the institutions involved. The present work introduces an analysis of some of the European Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) and the transport supply connected to several cities. After an evaluation of the macro areas of intervention, factors and criteria for the deployment of the electric vehicle linked to the demand responsive transport choice (EV-DRTs) have been defined in terms of user classification and environmental factors, but also considering the services and infrastructures for electric charging. The identification of these factors and criteria allows an exemplification in the development and adaptation of the planning and design concept.

This paper is the result of the joint work of the authors. ‘Abstract’ and ‘Conclusion’ were written jointly by all authors. Vincenza Torrisi wrote “Introduction” and “Background”. Tiziana Campisi wrote “Methodology”. Tiziana Campisi and Elena Cocuzza wrote the paragraph title ”SUMPs analysis ”. Matteo Ignaccolo and Giuseppe Inturri supervised and founded the work.

Notes

  1. 1.

    They are implemented as part of the project ECCENTRIC by CIVITAS, also financed from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, tried new sustainable mobility solutions.

  2. 2.

    The result of a joint project of the City of Munich in collaboration with Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft (MVG), a municipally owned company responsible for operating public transport in Munich, which operates buses, the tramway and the U-Bahn, and Stadtwerke München GmbH (SWM), a company owned by the city of Munich which offers public services for the city and the region of Munich.

  3. 3.

    The project Green Charge by CIVITAS (https://www.greencharge2020.eu/), also financed from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, aims to create an electricity-based transport system and has started pilot projects in Oslo, Barcelona and Bremen.
