SPECIFIC OBJECTS
The TWIST project aims at reducing social exclusion from transport:
1. acting from a geographic standpoint, as to marginalization and
scarce accessibility in internal, mountain areas and in urban area
suburbs.
2. acting from a social standpoint, as to the exclusion of disadvantaged
people from the right to move, due to reduced motor capacity or to
social and economic reasons.

STEPS
•
Analysing present transport systems and the current passenger demand
-REALISED-
•
Testing new models leading “local” disadvantaged systems towards a
European quality standard - REALISED-
•
Monitoring the new transport system through the systems agreed upon
-TO BE REALISED•
Reproducing the programming, managing and control system identified
in all similar areas in EU - TO BE REALISED-
REGIONE
ABRUZZO
Through Twist project, Abruzzo Region intends to:
•
Repeat a highly technological project
•
Validate a draft programme plan: system of analysis-technical design for
transport adaptable to the requirements of the areas-use of advanced
technology-cost of monitoring results
•
Assessing together with the local authorities the inclusion of call services in
mountainous areas where high technology DRT systems may provide better
performance, including direct services to school/work
•
Replace traditional LPT services in timeframes with lesser demand with a
call system to the main railway lines/road systems ensuring simultaneous
circulation inside the area in question and direct connections to healthcultural-social structures within short distances of each other.

ABRUZZO
OUR CURRENT AIMS
Actions 4, 5 and 6 are important for transferring the TWIST model to all areas
of transport in the EU with similar characteristics.
The transferability of the model is the strong point of the project; to realise
this, all responsible partners must complete the following activities by
30th June 2007.
WP 4.8: Reporting the use of the service (through the control
parameters) RIO – KTEL;
WP 4.9: Analysis of experimentation data and finalisation of the
theoretical model. RIO – TRANSDANUBIAN;
WP 4.10: Analysis of experimentation data and hypothesis of
transferability. RIO – TRANSDANUBIAN
WP 6: Monitoring. TECHNOSTART

TRANSFERABLE MODEL
TWIST aims at implementing a common transnational strategy for territory
development in order to optimise transport organisation in disadvantaged and
marginalized areas from both a geographic and environmental standpoint,
according to local requirements and with the object of comparing and
eliminating “regional” differences and disadvantages.
This specific object may be achieved through the possibility to reiterate the
project in all European regions and to develop further actions at a EU level by
the spreading of best-practices.
Testing results will provide a new way to organise and manage transport
services in “weak” areas, granting the mobility and the circulation of people
and goods, both within the weak areas and towards national and international
transport systems, thus promoting economic activities and reducing migrant
phenomena.

ABRUZZO
From TWIST to the local planning of DRT systems
Action required
Identify the EU-National-Regional sector regulations covering DRTDemand Responsive Transport- Services
Identify the definition and classification of DRT services in the regulations
in force
Introduce the necessary modifications to the regulations in force for the
application of TWIST
Establish the objectives to be pursued through DRT according to the
choices of TWIST
Choose the competent bodies for implementation on the basis of the
principle of subsidies
Choose the areas of transport for implementation through the system of
indicators constructed from analysis of TWIST
REGIONE
ABRUZZO
From TWIST to the local planning of DRT systems
Action required
Design the DRT services according to the TWIST transport design
model
Introduce procedures authorising the exercise of DRT services
compatibly with ordinary Local Public Transport (LPT) and provided in
the same areas
Improve the regulations governing safety in exercising LPT services
Planning the forms of coordination provided for integration between
DRT and ordinary LPT
Provide for forms of financing the DRT services re-planning the part of
existing LPT services with lowest demand and transforming it into
DRT services serving and circulating in the areas chosen
REGIONE
ABRUZZO
Work in progress: starting with the Twist project
the Abruzzo Region intends to:
•
Replicate a highly technological project
•
Validate a planning scheme: system of technical analysis-design of
transport services adaptable to the needs of different areas – use of
advanced technology – cost of monitoring results
•
Assess together with local authorities the insertion of call services in
mountainous areas where high technology DRT systems may provide the
best performance, including direct services to school/work
•
Replace the traditional LPT services during the hours of less demand with a
call system serving the main rail/road lines, ensuring internal area
circulation at the same time and also a direct link to the main health, cultural
and social structures within a short distance.
