The paper deals with the issue related to the homework mobility of the employees. This issue is very important because many employees have similar working hours, starting at the same hour and finishing at the same hour. The result is a significant increase of traffic congestion and pollution in these hours. Similar situation occurs for students who have to go to school or go home. The previous cases coexist very often and are related each other. The aim of this paper is to present the results of a survey about the home-work mobility of the municipality employees of three medium cities located in the South of Italy. It results that the car is the privileged vehicle for the home-work transfer, independently from the costs of the transfer and from the time needed to reach the nearest stop of public transport vehicle. In a relevant number of cases the car is also the essential vehicle, because of intermediate mandatory stops or to the need to limit the transfer time. In these cases, the use of an electrical car could be an effective solution to join the need to use a car with the need to limit the pollution.

Abstract

The paper deals with the issue related to the homework mobility of the employees. This issue is very important because many employees have similar working hours, starting at the same hour and finishing at the same hour. The result is a significant increase of traffic congestion and pollution in these hours. Similar situation occurs for students who have to go to school or go home. The previous cases coexist very often and are related each other. The aim of this paper is to present the results of a survey about the home-work mobility of the municipality employees of three medium cities located in the South of Italy. It results that the car is the privileged vehicle for the home-work transfer, independently from the costs of the transfer and from the time needed to reach the nearest stop of public transport vehicle. In a relevant number of cases the car is also the essential vehicle, because of intermediate mandatory stops or to the need to limit the transfer time. In these cases, the use of an electrical car could be an effective solution to join the need to use a car with the need to limit the pollution.
