Traffic and Mobility: Environmental Impact Studies

This lecture covers the environmental impact studies related to traffic and mobility, focusing on effects on the environment, legal requirements, and the non-saturation of existing networks. It also discusses specific projects like the Mendrisiotto agglomeration project and the A2 motorway bottleneck in Lugano-Mendrisio. The instructor presents tools for analyzing traffic saturation, simulation software for network planning, and dynamic multi-scale simulation. The lecture emphasizes the importance of evaluating traffic indicators, synchronization of installations, and the 3D animation of vehicle trajectories. Additionally, it addresses the need to increase the capacity of the A2 motorway while relieving the network of cantonal roads.
