People have always moved guided by the need to carry out various activities in different places, including that of meeting and communicating with other people. Over the past two decades, the concept of “communication” has significantly evolved given the introduction of multimedia digital technologies, which have enabled people to communicate without necessarily their physical presence. During the COVID-19 pandemic, “virtual mobility” (or “virtual communication”) played a crucial role in ensuring communications between people in different contexts of social life, growing in few months to previously unforeseeable levels and demonstrating that it can substitute physical movements in many occasions. A smart management of mobility that combines the ability to virtually communicate and the use of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to support physical mobility, can therefore strongly influence people's choice to move or not, and how. Starting from the analysis of physical mobility and virtual communications trends before and during the health emergency in Italy, this paper analyses the relationships between these two forms of communication, evaluating how virtual communication affected the different segments of Italian mobility during the pandemic and how it will affect the way people move in the post COVID-19 period. A SWOT analysis of virtual mobility is performed for each communication segment, with the aim of highlighting its pros and cons, but also future opportunities and possible threats. Some policy indications are also provided in relation to different mobility segments, governance levels (urban, regional and national) and congestion/pollution scenarios, highlighting how virtual mobility can help regulate physical movements, with the ultimate goal of pursuing a safe, sustainable, effective, efficient and connected mobility.

意大利的身体移动和虚拟通信:COVID-19 后的趋势、分析关系和政策

人们总是以在不同地方开展各种活动的需要为指导,包括与他人会面和交流的活动。在过去的二十年中,随着多媒体数字技术的引入,“通信”的概念有了显着的发展,这使人们无需亲自在场即可进行通信。在 COVID-19 大流行期间,“虚拟移动”(或“虚拟交流”)在确保处于不同社会生活环境的人们之间进行交流方面发挥了至关重要的作用,在几个月内增长到以前无法预见的水平,并证明它可以替代身体运动在很多场合。因此,结合虚拟通信能力和使用智能交通系统 (ITS) 来支持物理移动的智能移动管理可以强烈影响人们移动与否以及如何移动的选择。本文从分析意大利突发卫生事件之前和期间的身体流动和虚拟通信趋势入手,分析了这两种通信形式之间的关系,评估了虚拟通信在大流行期间如何影响意大利移动的不同部分以及它将如何影响人们在后 COVID-19 时期的行动方式。对每个通信段进行虚拟移动性的 SWOT 分析,目的是突出其优缺点,以及未来的机会和可能的威胁。
