Institute for Economic Policy Research (IWW) Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS) 16 ETISplus Road Data Workshop TRANS-TOOLS: Road Data Gaps and Challenges Eckhard Szimba, Nicolás Ibañez-Rivas Example of availability of traffic count data Detail of road counts for Andalusia: Comparison with publicly available count data Percentage of HGV Split of the total count across time bands (peak, off-peak)

Institute for Economic Policy Research (IWW) Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS) 17 ETISplus Road Data Workshop TRANS-TOOLS: Road Data Gaps and Challenges Eckhard Szimba, Nicolás Ibañez-Rivas Conclusions Most prominent data gaps are ‘observed‘ demand data Level of O/D relations Level of network links Level of freight terminals Importance of traffic count data Differentiation by type of vehicle Transparency regarding original data sources and methodology of implementation Long-distance coach market, a market highly dependent on country-specific regulatory settings => well-elaborated level-of-service analyses required to model long-distance coach services accurately Supporting TRANS-TOOLS‘ capabilities to cover transport flows between EU and neighbouring countries
