Ogni anno sulle strade migliaia di persone perdono la vita o restano gravemente ferite, anche in modo permanente. Lelevata incidenza delle vittime della strada costituisce un elevato costo per la società. Per far fronte a questa emergenza, negli ultimi lEuropa ha introdotto attraverso la pianificazione dei trasporti misure di sicurezza per la salvaguardia della vita degli utenti deboli e dellambiente. In questa tesi, è stata analizzata principalmente la pianificazione della mobilità in ambito urbano secondo quanto riportato nelle normative nazionali e nei piani di mobilità e dei trasporti della Regione Puglia con lobiettivo di individuare i possibili metodi di riduzione della velocità veicolare in aree urbane. Lanalisi della pianificazione della mobilità è stata integrata con lo studio degli interventi di traffic calming. Sono stati analizzati vantaggi e/o svantaggi sia dal punto di vista della sicurezza di pedoni e di ciclisti sia dal punto di vista dellinquinamento acustico e visivo, nonché di sostenibilità ambientale. Sono stati presi in esame dispositivi di moderazione altimetrici, planimetrici e gestionali, comparandone la loro efficacia in relazione alle normative vigenti (italiana e europea). Lanalisi è stata, infine, completata con lo studio dei Piani di Mobilità nel territorio compreso tra i comuni di Turi, Conversano e Castellana Grotte. Larea di studio considerata presenta caratteristiche ambientali, naturalistiche, paesaggistiche e storiche adatte ad incentivare il turismo sostenibile, perciò è stata fatta una pianificazione della mobilità dolce, cioè una pianificazione di percorsi ciclopedonali che prevedono piste in sede propria e in sede promiscua Ciclista/Pedone Auto, per queste ultime sono state previste misure di riduzione della velocità con dispositivi di traffic calming.

Abstract
Every year, thousands of people lose their lives or are seriously injured on the roads, even permanently. The high number of road deaths is a high cost for society. To deal with this emergency, in the last years Europe has introduced safety measures to safeguard the lives of weak users and the environment through transport planning. In this thesis, the planning of urban mobility has been mainly analyzed according to the national regulations and to the mobility and transport plans of Regione Puglia in order to identify possible methods for the vehicular speed reduction in urban areas. The mobility planning analysis has been integrated with the study of traffic calming devices. Advantages and/or disadvantages have been analyzed from both the pedestrian, and cyclist safety, and the noise and visual pollution point of view, as well as environmental sustainability. Altimetric, planimetric and management moderation devices have been examined by comparing their effectiveness in relation to current regulations (Italian and European). Finally, the analysis has been completed with the study of Mobility Plans in the area between the cities of Turi, Conversano and Castellana Grotte. The considered area owns environmental, naturalistic, landscape and historical characteristics suitable to encourage the sustainable tourism; therefore, a slow mobility planning has been made, that is a planning of cycle and pedestrian paths that foresee ways in their own and in promiscuous Cyclist / Pedestrian Cars side. For the latter, speed reduction measures has been implanted using traffic calming devices.I documenti in UNITESI sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
