ABSTRACT
Airport Management is fundamental to support and enhance airport operations from landside to airside, from landing to take off. In this respect, the question to improve the access to an airport infrastructure becomes a crucial point to be investigated. Indeed the objective of this manuscript is to analyse the impacts on road mobility in the forecourt area of Capodichino airport in Naples in Italy, connected with the Limited Traffic Zone (LTZ) activation. In order to evaluate such impacts two scenarios have been proposed and simulated which reproduce, in the peak period 7.45-8.45, the situation in the forecourt area. They are respectively the scenarios before and after the LTZ activation. Microsimulation models have been useful in order to evaluate these effects. In the light of the results obtained, it has been possible to state that the activation of the LTZ will contribute to the improvement of road mobility in the area. This will provide benefits to the users reaching the terminal.
