In this paper we propose a new mobility model that uses sea transports for systematic and occasional users, tourists, etc.., which must reach the airports of Palermo and Trapani. In particular fast ferries, even with their operational limitations, can be used for quick links designed for the mobility demand that interests the airports of Western Sicily. These transport nodes are currently isolated because they are accessible essentially by means of rubber, given the supply shortages of the rail system. The aim of this study is to reassess the waterfront of a stretch of coast between the two Sicilian airports, places near the sea, that can use sea transport systems to reduce congestion on the roads and satisfy a demand mainly tourist that prefers this mode of transport for its sustainability.

Abstract
In this paper we propose a new mobility model that uses sea transports for systematic and occasional users, tourists, etc.., which must reach the airports of Palermo and Trapani. In particular fast ferries, even with their operational limitations, can be used for quick links designed for the mobility demand that interests the airports of Western Sicily. These transport nodes are currently isolated because they are accessible essentially by means of rubber, given the supply shortages of the rail system. The aim of this study is to reassess the waterfront of a stretch of coast between the two Sicilian airports, places near the sea, that can use sea transport systems to reduce congestion on the roads and satisfy a demand mainly tourist that prefers this mode of transport for its sustainability.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
