Résumé / Abstract

This chapter introduces and analyses the data collection systems that are used for statistics, models, market and scientific studies on long distance road freight transport. This chapter presents first a list of what would be required for an ideal long distance freight data set, that would allow excellent analyses in research studies, and provide reliable guidance for freight operators and policy makers. Then it introduces shortly existing data collection systems in Europe, discussing some essential shortcomings that would need to be tackled by the expert community. The third part analyses the strengths and limitations of alternative approaches to collecting and analysing road freight data.
