Abstract:	Introduction The increasing interest on mobility, transport planning and transport management, I have been transmitted during the numerous courses that I followed with the Professor Cristina Pronello. Before started the mobility planning courses this field for me it was almost unknown. got to know the European project OPTICITIES thanks to Professor Pronello, that she spoken often during the lessons. In October 2014 I have been actually involved in OPTICITIES project by Professor Pronello, because I became one of the panellist that will test the TIS Travel Information System for the city of Turin, activities later abandoned for working reasons. To continue to follow the project as well as tester but also like the authorized personnel, I decided to play a period of internship of about six months in England at Birmingham City Council. In fact Birmingham with Turin is one of six European cities involved in the project. The internship lasting a total of about 1000 hours took place between April and August 2015. As regards the stages of progress of the project had ended the ex-ante phase and initiated the in-itinere phase; therefore the activities carried out during the whole period were different. The initial step was to study the results we had from the questionnaires administered during the ex-ante phase. The knowledge of the results of the ex-ante phase is necessary for a better understanding of the sample and to understand what are the expectations of the new instrument; furthermore the knowledge of the results of the first questionnaire is also important for the second step namely the in-itinere phase in which are periodically provided the new questionnaires. During the period of permanence to the City Council, I was involved in the construction the new questionnaires for the in-itinere phase for TIS and for FIS following what were the guidelines provided by the Politecnico research group manage to Professor Pronello. At the same time I carried out a statistical analysis on the data traffic flow, detected on the four main crossings, on which then the DST will be tested. Another activity carried out within the OPTICITIES project has been to make a pre-test period of the DST, before it was implements on the systems of UTC and started the actual period of testing. For about two weeks I recorded the events that DST detect, and that were in the competence area of UTC. For every event I have noted time in which it was detected the event, the location, the severity of the event, the reliability of the survey and the time when I have activated the DST. During the test period I were recorded bugs device, going to record how long the tool did not detect any events. The goal that I wanted to pursue with this work is to compare the cities of Birmingham and Turin on different detection systems and traffic monitoring; the different interpretation that was made of the Decision Support Tool in the two cities even if they take part at the same project, and finally going to see what benefits could give the use of DST in transport planning. For the comparability the two systems was necessary to address the state of the art analysis on ITS, the ANN and the DST, this allowed me to have a theoretical framework and I also got to know the recent development of such tools available that will help me to give a vision of the future prospects. This part was developed in the first chapter of the thesis. Having carried out my period of internship within the OPTICITIES project, in the second chapter, I first wanted to illustrate how did this project, what are the objectives of the involved cities, dwelling especially on Birmingham and Turin. In the third chapter it was made a short description of the companies that occuppano of traffic control and management is in the city of Birmingham that in the city of Turin. Always in this chapter have been mentioned systems used by' UTC for traffic control. In the fourth chapter covers the aim of the thesis and the methodology used throughout the ex ante phase of the project that is where I focused, having to compare two cities the methodology I started analyzing the work done in Turin, from the selection of the panel for the investigation until the development of Multimodal Map. the same pattern was adopted to describe the work done at Birmingham. In the last chapter will set out the results for each step of the methodology, even here will be on display the results both for Turin to Birmingham.
