Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper proposes a methodology aimed at identifying the main factors affecting the rail sector in the new normal scenario, referring to the post-pandemic era, where the transportation system has experienced significant changes. Indeed, a survey was designed, and a questionnaire was submitted to a sample of employees of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane (Italian State Railway company). Then, a ranking of these factors was identified through the estimation of a Structural Equation Model (SEM). Results showed that the areas of Energy and Environment, Lifestyle, and Economy will positively affect the future of rail in the new normal scenario. This study offers insights into the dynamics of the rail sector's adaptation to post-pandemic conditions. By highlighting the factors that play a crucial role in shaping the future of rail transportation, this research suggests innovative strategies and policy initiatives to foster sustainable growth and resilience in the sector.KEYWORDS: Rail transportenergy and environmentlifestyleeconomystructural equation modelsItalian rail network Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

规划后covid时代的铁路未来

摘要本文提出了一种方法，旨在确定新常态下影响铁路部门的主要因素，参考大流行后时代，交通系统经历了重大变化。的确，设计了一项调查，并向意大利国家铁路公司(Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane)的雇员样本提交了一份问卷。然后，通过结构方程模型(SEM)的估计，确定了这些因素的排名。结果表明，在新常态情景下，能源与环境、生活方式和经济领域将对铁路的未来产生积极影响。这项研究提供了对铁路部门适应大流行后条件的动态的见解。通过强调在塑造铁路运输未来中发挥关键作用的因素，本研究提出了创新战略和政策举措，以促进该行业的可持续增长和弹性。关键词:铁路运输、能源与环境、生活方式、经济、结构方程模型、意大利铁路网披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。

期刊介绍： Transportation Planning and Technology places considerable emphasis on the interface between transportation planning and technology, economics, land use planning and policy. The Editor welcomes submissions covering, but not limited to, topics such as: • transport demand • land use forecasting • economic evaluation and its relationship to policy in both developed and developing countries • conventional and possibly unconventional future systems technology • urban and interurban transport terminals and interchanges • environmental aspects associated with transport (particularly those relating to climate change resilience and adaptation). The journal also welcomes technical papers of a more narrow focus as well as in-depth state-of-the-art papers. State-of-the-art papers should address transport topics that have a strong empirical base and contain explanatory research results that fit well with the core aims and scope of the journal.
