5 1 Introduction The present document is a report about Eurostat s inventory of the s on passenger mobility carried out in the EU27 member states, EU candidate countries and EFTA countries. The inventory is updated every six months and the last update before the current one was carried out in January The inventory contains information about s on:! passenger mobility by any mode of transport and! (where specific s exist) passenger mobility by car, coach or bus The inventory moreover covers other national statistical activities for the measurement of the volume of passenger traffic (expressed in vehicle-kilometres) by road. Such activities comprise the use of road count data, odometer readings, fuel consumption data, etc. This part has not been updated because the collection of VKm data has now become a separate action of the contract. The current inventory is mainly based on information collected from the responsible national authorities in replies to a two-page questionnaire addressed only to those countries that carried out or were expected to carry out relevant s in The report is structured as follows. Chapter 2 presents a table with a summary of all relevant national s and additional statistical activities. Chapter 3 describes in greater detail the national s, country by country Page 1

6 2 Overview of national passenger mobility s This chapter summarizes information on the most recent implementation of the national s on passenger mobility. It describes in a table the s main characteristics such as year of most recent implementation, purpose, information collected, etc. In order to enable the reader to follow changes from the previous version of the inventory, all information which was added or modified since the previous update is highlighted in bold characters.

Turkey Passenger Mobility Survey 2010 Not specified TURKSTAT To record the journeys undertaken by the respondents aged 6 years and over the following week of the interview Number of trips, distance traveled, origin of destination, transport mode and vehicle including walking, travel time and purpose, expenditure of transport activity, income and education level of respondent and etc. Passenger mobility has started in January 2010 and fieldwork will continue until the end of the year. UK National Travel Survey (NTS) 2009 Continuously Department for Transport (Survey fieldwork is contracted to the National Centre for Social Research NatCen)) To pick up long-term trends in personal travel patterns and provide a databank of personal travel information in UK Information on the key characteristics of each participating household and any vehicle to which they have access. Each individual within the household is interviewed and asked to complete a 7-day travel record. The produces a rich dataset with information recorded at a number of different levels (household, individual, vehicle, long distance journey, day, trip and stage). 1: denotes whether the is specific to travel by car, bus, coach, etc Page 9

14 As it is indicated in the above table, passenger mobility s are running regularly in at least one third of the countries. Only seven s are specific to travel by car, bus, coach, etc. More specifically, travel s are continuously conducted in UK (NTS), Denmark (TU), France (Follow-up of the tourism demand of French people) and in Netherlands (OViN). In Bulgaria ( on buses and coaches), Romania (Passenger mobility and of residents touristic demand) and Slovakia (sampling of trips) such s are carried out quarterly, while annual s are conducted in Estonia (use of passenger cars), Germany (MOP), Romania (Transport by passenger cars) and Slovakia ( in transport and of passenger transport by bus via territory Slovakia). Moreover, less frequently conducted s have been implemented recently in Latvia (Mobility of Latvian population (2008); every three years), Norway (personal travel (2009); every four years), Sweden (RES; every four years)), Switzerland (Microcensus on travel behaviour (2010); every five years), Finland (national travel (2005); every six years), Hungary (Mobility in Hungary (2009), 2009 is the first reference year; every five years) and France (National on transport and displacements; every years). Additionally, a passenger mobility is currently being implemented (January-December 2010) for the first time in Turkey while there is a possibility of a conduction of a relevant in future by FYROM (probably under IPA 2011). Several countries also collect passenger mobility data indirectly, via the calculation of volume of road passenger traffic (vehicle-kilometres) by type of vehicle. The following table presents summary information about such activities. Table 2. Other statistical activities for measuring road passenger traffic (vehicle-kilometres) Country Input data for calculation of vehicle-kilometres Responsible organisation Remarks Austria Road Traffic Count Fuel consumption Kuratorium Verkehrssicherheit fuer The main problem for the collection of VKm is the implementation of the territoriality principle The Verkehrsmodell Österreich (Austrian National Transport Model) Belgium Five-yearly traffic counting Database of registered vehicles (DIV) Service Public Fédéral de Mobilité & Transports (SPFMT) Registered km by vehicle inspection centres Czech Republic Road traffic counts Driver Ministry of traffic Not all traffic is covered.

Ireland No data on road traffic volumes is collected Relevant information can be derived from the National Car Testing (MOT) on odometer readings and from the Road Authority on traffic counts. The main problems are the application of the territoriality principle and the classification of roads Latvia Odometer readings Latvian Road Safety Directorate Lithuania Sample Survey on statistics on the carriage of goods by roads Survey on public passenger carried by road Household sample (for the estimation of VKm on passenger cars and motorcycles) 2005 Census of Motor Traffic on Main International traffic Arteries in Europe (E- Road Census) and Survey on Transport Page 11

Austria, France, Norway, Sweden measure traffic performance through fuel consumption, while a combination of various sources (road counts, odometer readings, fuel consumption and driver ) is used in most countries Page 13

18 3 National statistical activities for the measurement of passenger mobility This section describes in more detail the previously presented passenger mobility s. Furthermore, it indicates the location, in the CD-ROM with raw information, where the relevant information (metadata questionnaires, methodological reports etc) may be found. 3.1 Austria In Austria a on passenger mobility was carried out in September December It was entitled the Austrian mobility, implemented by the Federal Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology and its purpose was to produce several indicators that describe the mobility of the resident population of Austria aged 6 years and over. It covered all travel undertaken by the respondent during the reporting period. The latter was the last day before the interview for short distance travel, i.e. less than 50km, and in the last 14 days before the interview for travel over 50km. The collected information includes origin and destination for each trip, total distance travelled, trip purpose, modes of transport used, while no information for each stage of a trip was collected. Nevertheless, information about the status of the respondent, i.e. whether the respondent was a passenger or a driver was collected. Other respondent related information includes socio-economic characteristics such as age, gender, region of residence, employment status, occupation, education, marital status, car ownership, number of cars in the household and ownership of driving licence. There is no information about the year of the next mobility since this is not carried out regularly. Austria also measures volume of road traffic (vehicle-kilometres) through road traffic counts and fuel consumption. The responsible body for this task is the Kuratorium fuer Verkehrssicherheit. 3.2 Belgium In Belgium a on passenger mobility was carried out only once, during the period December 1998 November It was entitled Belgian national mobility and the organization responsible for its implementation was the Federal services of the Scientific, Technical and Cultural Affairs. Its purpose was to collect accurate data on the on the mobility of persons aged 6 years and over during the reporting period, which was the last day before the interview for short distance travel (less than 200 kilometres) and the last week before the interview for trips longer than 200km. The collected information includes the origin and destination of a trip, the total distance travelled, the purpose of a trip, the total travel time, the modes of transport used. Also information about the number of stages for each trip alongside with their sequence is recorded as well as stage-specific variables Page 14

19 such as place of stage, mode of transport, distance, travel time and status of a respondent as a passenger or driver are covered. Variables related to respondent s socio-economic characteristics include age, gender, region of residence, employment status, occupation, education, number of adult persons within household, level of urbanization, income, car ownership, number of cars within household, driving licence and season tickets. Belgium collects data mainly from road counts but also through a database of registered vehicles (DIV) as well as through registered km by vehicle inspection centres. The Service Public Fédéral de Mobilité & Transports (SPFMT) is the responsible body for data collection. 3.3 Bulgaria In Bulgaria, the National Statistical Institute (NSI) carries out, since 1996, a on buses and coaches on a quarterly basis. The aim of the is to obtain reliable, accurate data for national and international passenger traffic by road. The sample of the consists of transport enterprises (NACE Rev and 49.39) that have licenses for national and international passenger transport by road (enterprises with one or more licensed busses and coaches). Since 1996 the private sector is included. The covers the enterprises, which perform transport of passengers only for reward. The collected information covers:! number of passengers carried (on the base of number of tickets sold) and! passenger-kilometres performed! actual distance run by the buses and coaches! annual data for the number and length of urban, outskirts and international bus lines 3.4 Cyprus A passenger mobility was carried out during the period May July 2008 by the Statistical Services of Cyprus. Its aim was to provide statistics on passenger mobility in Cyprus as well as information on personal travel for short distance mobility (under 100km). The collected information covers all national trips of distance less than 100km as well as socioeconomic characteristics such as age and gender of the respondent, region of residence, number of adult persons within household, car ownership and number of cars within household Page 15

20 3.5 Czech Republic In Czech Republic, information on short distance mobility is collected every ten years during the Population and Housing Census. The last time it was implemented was in 2000 and the travel related information collected in the census includes variables on:! commuting from a place of permanent residence to a place of work and school! frequency and time of commuting and! mode of transport used. The Ministry of traffic collects information on vehicle-kilometres from road counts and a driver on International roads that is carried out every five years (E-Road Census). This census however does not cover urban roads. 3.6 Croatia No information was provided on any passenger mobility carried out in Croatia. However, data for the measurement on the road traffic volume is collected through traffic counts by the Croatian Roads Authority. 3.7 Denmark A national travel (TU) was carried out in It describes the daily mobility habits of Danes aged years and covers all travel undertaken by the respondent on the last day before the interview. Specifically, it covers information on the origin and destination of a trip (only from 1995), its total distance and purpose, the total travel time and the modes of transport used. Moreover, the number of stages for each trip, their sequence (only from 2002), the distance travelled in each stage, the total travel time and the waiting time until the next stage are recorded, alongside with the status of the respondent as a passenger or a driver and the number of co-passengers. Professional trips are also included but only information on distance and mode of transport is covered. Other variables covered include the respondent s age, gender, region of residence, employment status, occupation, education, marital status, number of adult persons within the household, level of urbanisation, income, driving licence and other household related information Page 16

21 The Danish Road Directorate is responsible for collecting information from odometer readings and road traffic counts, as well as through official vehicle data and a on goods vehicles to measure traffic performance (vehicle-kilometres). 3.8 Estonia The Statistics Estonia carries out a on the use of passenger cars. Its aim is to obtain information on the volume on passenger transport and run of passenger cars. The information is important for environmental aspects and for the planning of passenger transport. It is conducted annually (since 2004) in the 2 nd quarter of each year and covers all trips carried out by passenger car on the last day before the interview. More specifically it covers the total distance travelled in each trip, trip purpose and car-specific variables such as status of respondent as a passenger or driver, car ownership and number of copassengers. No information for each stage of a trip is collected, while professional trips conducted by people occupied in transport are partially covered, e.g. in the special case of taxi drivers. The Estonian Road Administration collects data mainly from road counts and complementarily through a driver for measuring traffic volume (vehicle-kilometres). 3.9 Finland A national travel is conducted by the Finish Ministry of Transport and Communications every six years, with the most recent round taking place during the period June May Its aim is to give a general picture of daily and long-distance passenger travel of Finns aged 6 years and over within national borders and abroad. It covers all travel of up to 100km undertaken by the respondent on the last day before the interview, and travel of over 100km during the last 4 weeks before the interview. The information collected for each trip includes its start and end location, the total distance travelled, its purpose, the total travel time, the modes of transport used, their sequence and the status of the respondent as a driver or passenger. Moreover, information related to respondent s socio-economic characteristics (age, gender, region of residence, employment status, occupation, level of urbanisation, income, car ownership and number of cars within household) is collected Page 17

22 The Finish Road Administration collects data mainly from road counts and complementarily from odometer readings for measuring traffic volume (vehicle-kilometres) France A French national on transport and displacements was carried out by the INSEE for MEEDDAT/DAEI/SESP (Service for statistic and prospective studies of the French ministry of environment, energy, sustainable development and regional planning) during the period May April Its aim was to describe the mobility of households living in France and it covers information on the purpose of travel, its length, the mode of transport used, the time frame of the travel as well as information on what the traveller did during the trip. There is also a continuous panel, named follow-up of the tourism demand of French people which, since 2002, covers among other things daily trips of over 100km. The Ministry of Transport collects data mainly from fuel consumption and complementarily from road counts and a driver and a on goods vehicles for measuring vehicle-kilometres Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia No on passenger or car passenger mobility in particular has ever been carried out in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. However, a passenger mobility is possible to be carried out in the future under IPA The IPA is the key tool of the Commission s pre-accession assistance strategy for the period The purpose of IPA is to support countries in their transition from potential candidates to candidate countries and through to membership of the European Union Germany Two main s on passenger mobility have been implemented in Germany. The first one is the Mobility in Germany (MiD), a cross-sectional whose purpose was to report mobility of one given day. The last time this was conducted was in The information collected includes origin and destination for each trip, the total distance travelled, trip purpose, the total travel time, the modes of transport used and the duration of stay at destination. However, no information for each stage of a trip is collected Page 18

23 The second is the German Mobility Panel (MOP). This is a longitudinal that reports mobility of one given week. It was first implemented in 1994 and the most recent one was carried out in Collected information includes origin and destination of a trip, total distance travelled, trip purpose, total travel time, modes of transport used, duration of stay at destination, number of companions, business trips module and use of household vehicles. Moreover, the MOP includes an annual on odometer readings that collects vehicle-kilometres and information on fuel consumption. In none of the above two s are professional trips of people occupied in transport covered. In order to close this gap an additional was conducted in 2002 named Kraftverkehr in Deutschland. In this the mileage by commercial vehicles was ed. Both MiD and MOP record socio-economic variables such as respondent s age, gender, employment status, education, number of adult persons within the household, level of urbanisation, income, car ownership, number of cars within the household, driving licence and other household related variables. The German Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) measures vehicle-kilometres through road traffic counts, fuel sales and consumption, a of German goods vehicles as well as through a central information system to toll charged journeys Greece In Greece no on passenger mobility, car mobility or any other related issue has ever conducted. Data in VKm can be obtained from administrative sources and mainly based on estimates. However, from 2001 onwards there is not data available on the volume of road traffic measured in VKm at national level Hungary The Passenger Mobility is a implemented by the Hungarian Central Statistical Office for first time in However, Hungary carried out a pilot exercise in 2006 the conclusions of which are implemented for the passenger mobility that is currently running. It covers information related to trip s origin and destination, its purpose and distance travelled, the duration of the trip and the modes of transport used as well as information about its cost. More specifically the information collection focuses on travel by any mode of transport and in particular by car, coach or bus. Moreover, annual national road traffic counts are collected based on the annual average daily traffic counted at around 4,000 census points in the country (automatic and manual) to estimate figures for vehicle kilometres performed on the state roads network. 500 of the census points use automatic Page 19

24 counters while the remainder are manual. The counts are continuous on most loaded traffic intersections of state roads. The traffic of the municipal's road network is not included Iceland Iceland did not reply to Eurostat s request. Thus, there is no information on passenger mobility (s) conducted in the country or any other alternative way for measuring traffic volume Ireland The Central Statistics Office carried out the National Travel Survey for first time in Its aim is to identify the different types of transport options that people use on a daily basis as well as the combinations of options used (i.e. modal split ). In addition, other generic transport indicators are collected to complement the modal-split data. These include the availability of public transport and disability\mobility issues. The was conducted as a module on the LFS during the 4 th resources, the intention is that the will be repeated. quarter in Subject to More specifically it covers the total distance travelled in each journey, journey purpose, total travel time and information for each stage of a journey. The covers all travel for the specified period excluding business travel (i.e. it includes travel to and from work but excludes any business related travel). Ireland does not collect any data on road traffic volumes, However, such information can be derived from the National Car Testing (MOT) service on odometer readings 3.17 Italy No on passenger and/or car mobility or any other related issue has ever been carried out in Italy Latvia A mobility was conducted in Its purpose was to assess the daily mobility needs of the Latvian population Page 20

25 It covers all the trips undertaken by the respondent on the last day before the interview. Specifically, it covers information about the origin and destination of a trip, the mode of transport and the purpose of the trip. The next mobility will be carried out in three years. The Latvian Road Safety Directorate collects data from odometer readings to measure vehiclekilometres Liechtenstein A on passenger mobility was conducted in 2000 as part of the census. Its aim was to report daily mobility of the population by means of transport. A new implementation of the (Census 2010) is planned by 31 December The travel-specific variables covered include origin and destination of the trip, total distance travelled, total travel time both at trip and at stage level, modes of transport used for each trip and for each stage of a trip and car ownership Lithuania No on passenger, car mobility or any other related issue has ever been carried out. Various data sources are used for the measurement of road traffic volume in VKm. These involve several s (on statistics on the carriage of goods by roads, on public passenger carried by road, a household sample, on transport volumes on state roads outside built-up areas) and a census of motor traffic on main international traffic arteries in Europe (E-Road Census) Luxembourg Luxembourg did not reply to Eurostat s request for providing information on passenger mobility s. Nevertheless Luxembourg conducts a general census of population every 10 years and a part of the results presents an overview of internal migration and commuting. The relevant documentation is available (in French) in the Internet ( ) Page 21

26 3.22 Netherlands The Dutch Travel Survey (OviN) is a implemented by Statistics Netherlands. OviN is conducted on a daily basis since 1 st January 2010 as a follow-up of the OVG ( ) and MON ( ). Its aim is to describe the travel patterns of (specific groups of) the Dutch population. It covers information on the origin and destination of a trip, its purpose and distance travelled and the modes of transport used. Moreover, information about the status of the respondent (driver or passenger), the ownership of any mode of transport and the number of co-passengers is recorded. Statistics Netherlands measures vehicle-kilometres through odometer readings, estimates of foreign vehicles on Dutch territory and through s (an annual sample on national vehicles on national territory and a sample on tourism statistics) Norway A personal travel is conducted every 4 years with the most recent round taking place in Its purpose is to get knowledge about the travel behaviour of the Norwegian population aged 13 years and over. It covers all travel undertaken by the respondent on the last day before the interview and specifically information about the origin and destination of a trip, the distance travelled, its purpose, the total travel time, the modes of transport used, as well as information on respondent s sociodemographic characteristics. Moreover, information on the number of stages of each trip is recorded. More specifically, stagespecific variables covered involve the place of stage in the sequence of stages of the trip, the mode of transport used, and the status of the respondent as driver or passenger. The Institute of Transport Economics collects data from passenger cars, fuel consumption, traffic counts as well as through a on road goods transport Poland No on passenger and/or car mobility or any other related issue has ever been carried out. The General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways collects data through the General Traffic Census, origin-destination s and border s s Page 22

27 3.25 Portugal A mobility was conducted in 1998 by the National Statistical Institute. Its purpose was to describe the mobility behaviour of persons aged over 15 years. The covered all trips of medium and long distance, i.e. trips of over 50km undertaken by the respondent during the reporting period. Data for the measurement of traffic volume (vehicle-kilometres) is collected through a on road transport of goods (according to regulation 1172/98) and from the "Estradas de Portugal" (the ruling entity for the national road network) Romania Two s on passenger mobility are carried out in Romania while there is a pilot was scheduled for The first one entitled Passengers mobility (excluding rail transport and cab transport) involves companies with road transport of passengers as main activity, travel agencies and school transport units. It covers information on seat-kms offered, number of transport passengers, passenger-kms and motor vehicle travel kilometres. Depending on the destination the compiled variables can be classified into: a) urban transport (short-distance transport) and b) intercity and international transport (longdistance transport). The second is entitled Resident s touristic demand and its purpose is to establish the number of trips carried out by the residents in Romania and in abroad for tourist purposes, the number of overnight stays and their expenditure. It covers only tourist travel with overnight stays as well as professional trips conducted by people occupied in the transport. Both of the above s are conducted on a quarterly basis. The pilot aims to collect information on transport by passenger cars on a annual basis. Specifically, it collects information on travel distance, travel purpose, total travel time, mode of travel used at each stage of a trip as well as information on the status of respondent (driver or passenger) and the number of co-passengers. The Romanian National Company of Motorways National Roads collects data based on five-yearly road traffic counts Slovakia A on transport is carried out annually by the National Statistical Office. It includes those organizations of more than 20 employees whose main activity is transport. Its purpose is to obtain detailed data for freight and passenger transport by any mode of transport (bus, tram, trolleybus, train, Page 23

28 plain and ship) except passenger car. The information collected includes the total distance travelled for each trip, which can be classified into short (up to 100km) and long distance (over 100km) and passenger transport from the country of residence to another country and via versa. Information about the origin and destination of each stage of a trip is also recorded. In addition to the annual transport, there is a quarterly sampling of trips whose aim is the collection of statistical information on the field of tourism too. This records the total number of trips undertaken by all persons aged 15 years and over during the reporting period. Finally, there is an annual of passenger transport by bus via territory Slovakia carried out since It includes organisations which have the license of transport by bus and covers international regular and non-regular passenger transport by bus. Specifically, it covers information on passengers, passenger-km, vehicle-kilometres and turnover for transport. Information on vehicle-kilometres in also collected through road traffic counts and a weekly on goods vehicles in accordance with regulation 1172/ Slovenia No on passenger or car passenger mobility in specific has ever been carried out in Slovenia. The Road Directorate at the Ministry of Transport collects data mainly from the counting of vehicles on state roads for measuring road traffic volume Spain The MOVILIA was carried out in by the Ministry of Public Works. It was implemented in two phases: the first phase focused on daily mobility while the second phase described long distance mobility. The former covers all travel undertaken by the respondent on the last day before the interview while the latter covers all trips of less than 100km but with an overnight stay and all trips of more than 100km. However, the most recent mobility, carried out in 2007, focused on long distance travel, i.e. travel of more than 50km. In both phases, the collected information includes origin and destination of a trip, its purpose, the total travel time, the number of stages, the modes of transport used and in the case of the long distance mobility the number of overnight stays in the destination. Moreover, information about the status of the respondent (passenger or driver), car ownership and number of co-passengers (in the daily mobility only) is covered Page 24

29 3.30 Sweden A national travel, named RES, was conducted during the period October 2005 September Its purpose was to collect both daily and long-distance mobility data. It covers all travel undertaken by the respondent during the reporting period (one day for short distance, 30 days for journeys exceeding 100km one-way and 60 days for journeys exceeding 300km one-way) including professional trips on road for the daily travelling part of the questionnaire and professional trips made by people occupied as crew for the long distance part. The collected information includes origin and destination of a trip, its purpose, the number of stages for each trip, the modes of transport used (and sequence of use), duration of stay at destination and start and end time of the trip. Information related to passenger car such as status of the respondent as driver or passenger, car ownership and number of co-passengers is also recorded. Data for measuring the road traffic volume in vehicle-kilometres is collected from a) all vehicles on national territory through traffic counts, traffic s, fuel consumption, traffic accidents and vehicle information and b) national vehicles everywhere through odometer readings Switzerland A on the population s travel behaviour named Mobility in Switzerland is conducted every 5 years. The most recent is currently being carried out and will end in The results will be available at the beginning of 2012.This covers all travel undertaken by the respondent on one day, randomly selected over the year with equal probability. It collects information on origin and destination of a trip, the travelled distance, trip purpose and total travel time, the number of stages and modes of transport used (and their sequence of use) and duration of stay at destination. Since 2005, information on journeys with overnight stays and excursions (one-day trips), attitude to national travel policy and car-specific variables such as status of respondent as a passenger or driver, car ownership and number of co-passengers is also recorded. The Swiss Federal Statistical Office collects data from odometer readings to measure road traffic volume (vehicle-kilometres) Turkey A new named Passenger Mobility Survey has started in January 2010 and the fieldwork will continue until the end of the year. It is funded under MBP 2006 and coordinated with Eurostat. The analyzed data are planned to be transmitted to Eurostat until the end of March 2010 and to be made publicly available by May It aims to give information on passenger mobility at rural and urban breakdowns Page 25
