THE MAP
DEFINITION A freight village is a defined area within which all activities relating to transport, logistic and distribution of goods, both for national and International transit are carried out by various operators. A freight village must also be equipped with all the public facilities to carry out the above mentioned operations. In order to encourage intermodal transport for the handling of goods, a freight village must preferably be served by a multiplicity of transport modes (road, rail, deep sea, inland waterway, air).

CATCHEMENT AREA Town Maritime Connections Rail Connections Road Connections Industrial Districts
THE ROLE OF FREIGHT VILLAGES 1. Offer alternative transport solutions more efficient and complete 2. Move part of the freight transport from road to other modes of transport (intermodality/multimodality) multimodality 3. Manage the exponential increase of freight transport in the optimal way
The case of Bologna Freight Village
Moving heavy traffic from residential areas to the freight village 1985 Congestion 1990 First transport operators (60. 000 smq)
Specialized and dedicated logistics area
Specialized and dedicated logistics area Post-effects • More productivity ton/sqm (+30%) • More competition among transport and logistics companies • More service quality • Less personnel (-30%)
More intermodality 1. Handling operations 2. Shunting operations 3. Intermodal terminal mangement on behalf of RFI (Trenitalia)
New rail connections 1. Sinergy between maritime port and freight village: Bologna-Ravenna connection 2. Gravel trains rail service
