Demarcation of the domain

1


The transport industry

• The transport industry is section H of the ISIC Rev. 4 - Transportation and storage

• It is subdivided into the following divisions:

49 - Land transport and transport via pipelines50 - Water transport51 - Air transport52 - Warehousing and support activities for transportation53 - Postal and courier activities

• The production of transport industries for national accounts purposes is measured the same way as for other industries

2


Land transport

• Division 49 of ISIC Rev. 4 is ‘Land transport and transport via pipelines‘

• It includes the following groups (3 digit level):

- 491 Transport via railways- 492 Other land transport- 493 Transport via pipeline

3


Water transport• Division 50 of ISIC Rev.4 includes

the transport of passengers or freight over water

• The division includes the following groups:

- 501 Sea and coastal water transport

- 502 Inland water transport

4


Air transport

• Division 51 ‘Air transport’ of ISIC Rev. 4 includes the transport of passengers or freight by air or via space

• Division 51 has the following groups:

- 511 Passenger air transport- 512 Freight air transport

5


Warehousing

• Division 52 of ISIC Rev. 4 is ‘Warehousing and support activities for transportation’

- 521 Warehousing and storage- 522 Support activities for transportation

6


Postal and courier activities

• Division 53 of ISIC Rev. 4 is ‘Postal and courier activities’

• It consists of the following groups:

- 531 Postal activities- 532 Courier activities

7


Demand for functional data

• What makes the transport sector special is demand for functional data

• Indicators and statistics include the following issues:

- Transport infrastructure- Vehicles and vessels- Transport activities and performance- Transport safety- Mobility of people- Emissions as a consequence of transport activities

8


Transport statistics - indicators• Key transport indicators include: – Motorways and other roads (km)– Railways (km)– Inland waterways (km)– Oil pipelines (km)– Passenger cars (number)– Lorries and other goods road vehicles (number)– Railway coaches and wagons (number)– Cargo and passenger vessels (number)– Tonne-km transported by road, rail, water and air (million)– Road traffic accidents (number, by type)

9


Road transport - concepts 1

• Motorway • Road• Passenger cars• Goods road motor vehicle• Lorries and other goods

road vehicles

10


Road transport – concepts 2

• Goods carried by road• Tonne-kilometre by road• Road freight transport• International road transport• National road transport• Road cabotage transport• Vehicle-kilometer

11


Road transport indicators• Tonne-km of goods carried by type of road transport• Passenger kilometres • Road vehicle fleet by type of vehicle and age group• Number of motor coaches, buses and trolleybuses by

fuel type and age group• Number of lorries by load capacity• New passenger car registrations• Number of trailers and semi-trailers by load capacity• Number of passenger vehicles by vehicle category

12


Road safety concepts

• Some key concepts of road safety are:– Injury road accident– Killed in injury

road accidents

13


Road safety indicators• Important indicators of road safety include:

– Road accidents by accident type and location– Road accidents by accident type and month– Road accidents by accident type and light condition– Road traffic accidents by accident type and road condition– Road traffic accidents involving personal injury by accident

type– Road accidents involving one or more persons under the

influence of alcohol – Persons killed or injured in road traffic accidents by

accident type and age group14


Rail transport – concepts• Important concepts for rail transport are:

– Goods carried by rail– Weight– National rail transport– International rail transport– Rail passenger– Rail passenger-kilometre

15


Rail transport - indicators• Frequently used indicators for rail transport

are:

– Number of railway passengers– Number of railway passenger-kilometres– Goods transport in tonnes– Goods transport in tonne-kilometres

16


Inland water transport – concepts• Important concepts with regard to inland

water transport are:

– Goods carried by inland waterways– Tonne-kilometre transport by inland waterways– Weight– National inland waterways transport– International inland waterways transport

17


Inland water transport - indicators

• Frequently used indicators are:

– Type of transport on national territory by goods carried

– Type of transport on national territory by tonne-km of goods carried

– Number of self propelled vessels in service– Capacity of self propelled vessels in service

18


Aviation indicators

• Passenger numbers carried by class of travel• Traffic and capacity for passengers, freight

and mail, and combined

19


Infrastructure indicators

• Road infrastructure by type of road• Total length of railroad lines operated by track

gauge• Total length of railroad lines operated by type

of track• Total length of railroad lines operated by

nature of traffic

20


Environmental indicators

• Estimating emissions by transport is part of transport statistics

• Estimates are normally based on models• Models are different for electric trains and

diesel trains

21


Data sources 1• There are many different data sources for the

compilation of functional transport (and traffic) statistics. For example:

– Statistics about motorways and inland waterways (km)– Statistics about the railway network, railroad equipment

and railroad transportation data (passengers, freight)– Statistics about (the number of) road vehicles– Statistics about road transportation (passengers)– Tonne-km by of road transport

22


Data sources 2

• The number of inland waterway cargo vessels• Tonne-km by of road transport: estimated from

reporting by transportation companies• Tonne-km by inland waterways: different sources • Sea transportation data: reporting systems of seaports• Aviation statistics: data from airlines and airports• Emission statistics: data based on estimation models• Road traffic accidents statistics: data from police

registrations
