PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The work finds itself in the context of the final project regarding the extension of the tramway line 8 from the former terminus of Torre Argentina to the new location in via San Marco (Piazza Venezia). It involved the evaluation of the most representative environmental issues along with the examination of aspects related to territorial planning and scheduling. The following themes were analyzed:

  • Noise;
  • Vibration;
  • Landscape;
  • Urban planning;
  • Atmosphere;
  • Archeology.

In particular, specific investigations concerning the noise and vibration components were carried out in order to model the actual pollution conditions. 
Subsequently, simulations using a specific software were conducted, which also highlighted the positive impact caused by the changing traffic conditions in the surrounding road network.
