3 ETIS Statistical handbook Approximately 170 pages of maps and tables Provides an impression of the information that can be retrieved from the developed ETIS reference database: – Networks – Freight and passenger demand (flows) – Freight and passenger services and costs – External effects – Socio-economic data

4 The goals of ETIS Provide policy makers with information: To monitor and analyze the performance of policies That is accurate, complete, and up-to-date

5 The ETIS reference database European coverage (EU 25 plus Norway and Switzerland) Indicators to support the analysis of the European Commission’s TEN-T policy Data to calculate these indicators Meta-data describing the indicators, data variables, methods, and models

6 From data sources to TEN-T policy questions The ETIS pyramid

7 The reference database includes… 56 indicators catering to 29 policy issues within 7 policy domains: 56 indicators catering to 29 policy issues within 7 policy domains: Mobility Mobility Optimal use of capacities Optimal use of capacities Intermodality/interoperability Intermodality/interoperability Accessibility Accessibility Economic viability Economic viability Environment and safety Environment and safety Modal balance Modal balance Variables from 7 data sets: Variables from 7 data sets: Socio-economic Socio-economic Freight demand (OD matrix at NUTS2, transport chains) Freight demand (OD matrix at NUTS2, transport chains) Passenger demand (OD matrix at NUTS2) Passenger demand (OD matrix at NUTS2) Networks (more detailed than TENs) Networks (more detailed than TENs) Freight transport services and costs Freight transport services and costs Passenger transport services and costs Passenger transport services and costs External effects External effects
