Preface
The development of the transport industry, as a whole and in all its main domains (rail,
road, maritime, and aviation), is essential for the well-being of our planet: it not only can
facilitate the mobility of citizens and goods, but also has a significant impact on economic
growth, on social development, and on the environment.
In recent decades, moreover, the movement of people and goods in the world has seen
unprecedented expansion. The overall increase in traffic at the global level has been both a
cause and consequence of many contemporary phenomena, often interconnected: increas-
ing globalization, with the abolition of many import duties and borders; the liberalization
of markets, which has in many cases led to substantial price reductions; the change of
social structures and demographic evolution, which have fueled the increase in travels
and trips; increasing urbanization, which favored the commuting phenomena; the process
innovations in production systems and delivery of goods, which saw the elimination of
warehouse stocks, the development of “just-in-time” supplies, and the rapid growth of
mail order sales; the technological advances in energy and ICT (information and com-
munication technology), which have revolutionized the same systems and the means of
transportation.
So the transport sector has a growing role in the economic and social development of
contemporary societies. This also related to the frantic evolution of technology, especially
electronic and information, which led to inevitable and profound changes, not only in
economic activities, but also in our daily lives. If, however, the sector as a whole on the one
hand continues to have an unprecedented dynamism and economic prosperity, it deter-
mines ever-increasing social and ecological costs. Many problematic aspects are due in
large part to a substantial gap between recent technological and social evolution and some
endogenous and substantially inefficient characteristics of transport systems, already
largely anachronistic, that tend to slow down its evolution to the idea of an overall system
of integrated and sustainable mobility.
As a particular “critical” feature of the entire transport sector, it is important to first con-
sider that it is largely characterized by small and microenterprises: the majority of compa-
nies have fewer than 50 employees, while large companies are considered typical mostly
for air and rail transportation. This is certainly a hindering factor to the idea of systems
integration and of the creation of combined and intermodal transport chains.
This assumption impacts directly or indirectly also on other factors, in many ways unfa-
vorable, that crosswise characterize the whole sector.
This starts from the workforce, which continues to be predominantly male: in Europe,
for example, men represent more than 80% of workers in the transport sector, although the
gender difference is not so great in all subsectors. Actually the number of women work-
ing in the transport sector is growing, but on terms that do not conform to this changing
reality. In fact, even for the jobs and the sectors with a growing number of female workers,
ergonomic investments in these workplaces still continue to extensively refer to a work
environment considered for men only, in terms of infrastructure, culture, and conditions
of work. In this situation, women working in the transport sector must still continue to
adapt to an organization focused mainly on male labor.
Again with reference to the personnel, it is necessary to reflect also on the age of
employees, because the transport workforce is aging at a faster rate than the general active
