Abstract
Cumana and Circumflegrea railway lines constitutes a circle network in the western metropolitan area of Naples, named Area Flegrea (the ancient name of the places). These two lines are strongly inserted in the urban transportation system of the city of Naples and moreover serve other four districts, rich of places which generate and attract relevant people flows. The structure of the railway network is described and data about travel demand are provided. Characteristic of the used rolling stock and its development perspectives are presented. Current security problems are described and finally an optimization approach for the improvement of the network security is proposed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
