Italy’s case – Limited Traffic Zones (LTZ)

Kapsch TrafficCom


A typical Italian town ...

Kapsch TrafficCom


• Based on Italian road traffic provisions „codice della strada“

• The regulations for entering the zones may include categories and levels of vehicle

classes, emission classes and commercial elements such as entrance fees

• Each community is entitled to spatially define Z.T.L areas and to apply time-based

regulations for entering these zones

… applies Z.T.L. for traffic management …

Kapsch TrafficCom


• Z.T.L. is either enforced manually by the police, or …

• By means of a fully automated …

• consisting of ANPR cameras installed at the access points into the zones and

• a network linking these stations with the back office

… and enforces systematically!

• And enforced system

• vehicle licence plates are validated systematically, checking whether entry permit complies with

procedures and road traffic provisions are respected

• a fine is issued to vehicle owners in case of non-compliance

Kapsch TrafficCom


Leading supplier for 32 Italian cities with 301 checkpoints

Kapsch TrafficCom


How a typical Z.T.L checkpoint looks like? Not very spectacular …

Cremona Bergamo

Single- or multi-lane surveillance with fully automated number plate recognition systems (ANPR cameras)

Kapsch TrafficCom


• According to vehicle and vehicle emission class, based on the number plate

Define Z.T.L. rules to achieve transport policy goals

• Variable, according to defined week days or day- and night-time

• For certain access zones only

• For single or repeated access (per day/week/month)

• Either free of charge or for a fee (City toll, congestion charge)

• Timely or spatial confined restraints (major events for instance)

• Access coupled with real time air quality (limit exceedance of PM 10 for instance)

• Exemptions possible (for disabled persons for example, or e-vehicles)

Kapsch TrafficCom


• Italy is the sole European country providing a legal basis on national level to introduce

zones limited to traffic in urban areas and to enforce infringements (penalties/fines)

• Homologation of Z.T.L systems on basis of centralized certification assures respect of

Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC)

• „Codice della Strada“ (road traffic provisions), as the basic legislative piece. Regulates

next to speeding, incorrect parking, passing red traffic lights, drink driving also the

disciplinary proceedings for accessing a Z.T.L without authorization

The legal basis for Z.T.L.

• No discriminatory treatment of residents and foreigners (cross-border enforcement).

Kapsch TrafficCom


• Reduction of motorized private transport, less congestion, time-reliable accessibility for

eligible motorists

Benefits of Z.T.L. for a city

• More available parking lots for local residents and increased use of public transport

• Reduced air pollution and noise; residential environment of improved living conditions

• Attractive ground zones by dismantled traffic infrastructure and restoration measures

• Experience in Italy with Z.T.L systems has shown access zones into city centres

regarded positively in most respects and not perceived as a limitation in mobility

• Manufacturing, maintenance and operating costs commonly pay off the first year of

operation, on the sales of entry permits and the penalties imposed for not having any

Kapsch TrafficCom


Z.T.L. vs Parking management

• Coexistence or contradiction?

• Both traffic control systems (Z.T.L. and Parking Management) cover different fields of application

(traffic in flow <-> parking).

• A Z.T.L. does not replace Parking management and vice versa

• Combination of both measures is useful

• A Z.T.L. with a reasonable framework considers city-specific initial prerequisites and entry

requirements a fine is issued to vehicle owners in case of non-compliance

• Parking management in Italy follows a categorization of parking areas (“colour theory”)

• not marked parking space -> usable for all with a valid entry permit

• yellow marked parking space -> reserved for the category of “residential neighbours”

• Blue marked parking space -> Short-term parking zone (payable)

Considerations

Kapsch TrafficCom


Considerations

• Scarcity of resources, Urbanization, new technologies, …

• Two topics through all perspectives; environment & volume (scale of infrastructure, traffic volume)

• Traffic infrastructure shapes mobility. Mobility shapes quality of life.

• Traffic infrastucture is the basis of an integrated single market.

Assumption: Conventional challenges are valid

• High/Adequate service of (traffic) infrastructure has a value. Pricing as the fine-tuning tool.

• Challenges do not stop at institutional boundaries and national borders.

Our Mission: We make your traffic flow.

Better traffic control. Our toll collection systems around the world intelligently guide traffic. They

increase road safety and reduce traffic obstructions. At the same time, they enable usage-based

charging of tolls via pre-paid or post-paid models.

Greater safety and environmental protection. Incident detection systems, video-based traffic

sensors and multi-functional telematics platforms improve road safety. They help using existing

infrastructure more efficiently and lower environmental impact. Our on-board units consume very little

energy and produce half as much CO2 during production and packaging than comparable products.

Higher quality of life in cities. Urban road user charging, limited access zones, low emission zones

and dynamic parking prevent traffic jams and unnecessary driving. They also reduce noise pollution.

In urban transportation areas, we support road user charging and urban access and parking.

Situation/Challenges for cities

Kapsch TrafficCom


Situation. Cities and communities in transition and competition.

Centre

Commuter belt/suburbs

Centre

Commuter belt/suburbs

Regions/ Interurban areas

Migration into cities, urbanization:

Centralization and withdrawal of infrastructure from regions

Rather a fact than a possible development

Infrastructure scarcity, limitations of city spaces

Exploding, growing, shrinking cities

Competition:

Position as business location; attractiveness triggered by

economic situation and labour market

Criteria for quality of life and infrastructure (Mercer study);

power and water supply, communication, public transport,

fluent traffic, airport, spatial and traffic planning, interaction of

private/public sector

Disparity of mobility:

Basis and engine of economy, social cohesion

Traffic, emissions, limitation of quality of life

…. Are we different?

…. What are our strengths?

…. What do we want?

….. What are we opting for?

Kapsch TrafficCom


Strategy, what to do. Regulative framework for local road user charging and access schemes.

Local Empowerment:

Self-definition, Positioning

Fiscal powers for road user charges

….. leads to improvement of the price/

performance ratio of the public service

….. user acceptance through transparancy

and use of funds (... As important as revenue neutrality …

OECD/ITF 2010)

…. City as a system; energy management, water, waste, assisted living, traffic

management

…. Aspects; political, functional (system), environmental, human, economic

…. Role of the government is to operate the system and to organize “smart”

technology …..

…. Short distances

…. Trip planning reliability

…. To contribute to a cleaner environment

…. Willing to pay for adequate level of service

and better quality of life

MOBILITY

o To decouple growth of cities and resource consumption

o To use digital data

o Incenting people to use environmentally friendly modes

o Cross-regional land use planning

o Three tuning levels for decision makers

Manage supply

Manage human demand

Make infrastructure adoptive
