Feasibility of the Project<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

The design of the Thessaloniki Metro (Base Project, Extension to Kalamaria) was based on the General Transportation and Traffic Study for the city of Thessaloniki, which had been assigned by the Thessaloniki Regulatory Plan and Environmental Protection Organization (ORTHE) and was completed in 2000. Since then, no such study of this scale and extent has ever been prepared for the city of Thessaloniki. In view of fulfilling the needs of the Thessaloniki Metro Extension to Kalamaria, and having proceeded to the updating of the travel demand related data, ELLINIKO METRO S.A., in cooperation with Thessaloniki Integrated Transport Authority (SASTH), compiled the necessary studies (Feasibility Study, 2011), 2016 being the target year. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

In view of investigating the needs for new Metro projects further to the implementation of the Metro Base Line and Kalamaria Extension and in an effort to prepare a Plan for the Development of a Metro Network in the city of Thessaloniki, in the framework of an updated Transportation Plan for this city \u2013 year 2040 being the 20-year planning horizon \u2013 the requirement has emerged for the preparation of a new General Transport Study, the Thessaloniki Metro Development Study (MAMTH), which specified the needs related to travel demands and to the development of respective infrastructure projects in the city of Thessaloniki.<\/p>

The relevant survey has been conducted in conformance with the EU Regulation 2016\/679 (General Data Protection Regulation \u2013 GDPR) and the government\u2019s measures to avoid spread of corona virus covid-19.<\/p>

Study area\u00a0\u2013\u00a0benefited population<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

The Study Area includes the Urban Complex of Thessaloniki and the surrounding Suburban Zone, with a total population of 991,847 inhabitants (Hellenic Statistical Authority \u2013 ELSTAT, 2011), corresponding to approximately 89% of Thessaloniki Prefecture (1,110,551 inhabitants).\u00a0<\/p>

The Study Area includes the Municipalities of Thessaloniki, Kalamaria, Pylea-Hortiati, Thermi, Thermaikos, Neapoleos-Sykeon, Pavlou Mela, Ambelokipi-Menemeni, Eleftheriou-Kordelio, Oreokastro, Langadas and Delta.<\/p>

Description<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0of<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0the<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0physical<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0scope<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

The Thessaloniki Metro Development Study is a General Transport Study aiming at configuring a Transport Plan in the framework of the medium\/long-term Transport Planning for the city of Thessaloniki (target-years: 2030 and 2040).<\/p>

In brief, MAMTH scope of works includes the following, namely:<\/p>

  1. Inventory of existing features governing the operation of the transport systems in the Study Area, as well as the characteristics or parameters specifying these systems\u2019 supply and demand.\u00a0 For this purpose, the following surveys shall be carried out, namely:<\/li><\/ol>
    • Household Survey<\/li>
    • Stated Preference Survey<\/li>
    • Inventories and Measurements in the Main Road Network and Roadside Survey<\/li>
    • Measurements and Surveys in the Public Transport Modes (Urban Buses, Terminal Stations)<\/li><\/ul>
      1. Analysis of existing features and creation of relevant Data Bases.<\/li>
      2. Development of alternative scenarios concerning the transport infrastructure networks in the framework of the medium\/long-term Development Planning of the Study Area and the transport systems. \u00a0<\/li>
      3. Development of the Transport Model for the city of Thessaloniki, in other words, of the mechanism for the simulation of the transport operation in the Study Area and those items defining the transport systems\u2019 supply and demand, in order to evaluate the alternative scenarios for the transport networks to select the optimum Metro Network Development Plan in the framework of a comprehensive Transport Plan. \u00a0<\/li><\/ol>

        Moreover, provision is made for the following sub-projects:<\/p>

        \u00a0\u2013 Sub-project 2 concerning the award of a Consulting Services Agreement to assist the Service in the activities pertaining to the supervision of MAMTH;<\/p>

        \u2013 Sub-project 3 concerning the Upgrading of VISUM Software, which is the necessary tool to meet the needs for supervision, monitoring and control of all Contractor\u2019s works related to (a) the development of the Transport Model, and (b) its utilization in the examination of alternative scenarios for the development of the Metro Network in Thessaloniki, as well as the inspection of all related Deliverables, and<\/p>

        \u00a0\u2013 Sub-project 4 concerning advertising related activities (creation of promotion material for MAMTH) in view of updating the target public as regards the conduct of the study in question in the entire Urban Complex and the suburban zone of Thessaloniki, ensuring the participation and cooperation of the public throughout the surveys and establishing trust, as regards the significance of the project, in view of improving the traffic conditions and the quality of life of those participating in the survey.<\/p>
