Abstract

Urban development and the installation of new and manifold activities on a territory, with industrial, commercial or service character, cause an ever-increasing demand on mobility to which it is necessary to offer an efficient well-organized transportation system, well-distributed over the territory. The adjustment of old networks to new needs must occur across unitary and organic vision of the problem in order to obtain maximum economy for the resources employed as well as maximum functionality for transport users.
