Efficiency Analysis for Sustainable Mobility — The Design of a Mechanical Vector in Amalfi Coast (Italy)

A mechanical vector designed for Vietri sul Mare on Italy's Amalfi Coast demonstrates significant potential to decongest road traffic and reduce travel times, addressing critical sustainable mobility challenges. The study introduces an economic evaluation model using inter-sectorial matrices to assess the impacts of investments in infrastructure, aiming to encourage public-private partnerships. This approach is essential given the scarcity of public funds, as it provides a framework for evaluating the territorial economic benefits of such interventions. By analyzing input (investment costs) and output (economic impacts), the model offers a practical solution for sustainable mobility projects in UNESCO World Heritage Sites like the Costiera Amalfitana.
