Abstract:
This work introduces a georeferenced model that aims to yield a sustainable transport system located in a part of the city of Rome. This is achieved by considering two urban walks as transport lines connecting existing metro stops in order to improve the transportation system in a sustainable way, thus reducing vehicular traffic. In addition, the proposed solution is designed according to a cultural heritage perspective in the sense that the paths introduced have been defined by following ancient Roman roads leading us to call them Metro Cultural Heritage (Metro-CH) paths. As an additional result, we obtain the advantage to improve the touristic flow and social life in the suburbs that now are poorly exploited areas compared with the heart of Rome. From the overview map definition, we derive a geo based mobile application system used to implement a local Web mobile application system tailored for the Metro-CH without any additional infrastructure. As discussion, we show how the solution is in line with the principles of European Convention of Faro for the Cultural Heritage and with the national Italian guidelines of historical paths.
